Job details

Pay: $38.5 to $50 USD / hour
Experience: At least 5 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, product repair, failure analysis, RMA investigation, PCBA rework, or electronic troubleshooting.
Posting language: English
Posted: Oct 23, 2026

Original job description

We are looking to hire a Failure Analysis Engineering Technician/Engineer to play a key role in diagnosing, repairing, and validating complex electronic products from the finished unit down to the component level. This position focuses on end-to-end product troubleshooting, RMA and failure analysis, and technical support for engineering and production teams to ensure reliable, high-quality electronic assemblies and products.

Responsibilities

Diagnose failures across PCB assemblies, subassemblies, cables and harnesses, mechanical assemblies, box-build products, and finished goods using schematics, drawings, BOMs, test data, RMA information, and other technical documentation.
Disassemble and tear down finished products as needed to access internal assemblies, reproduce failures, and determine the true failure location.
Perform component- and circuit-level troubleshooting on SMT and through-hole PCB assemblies to identify electrical, functional, mechanical, connection, workmanship, and assembly defects.
Perform or oversee component replacement and advanced rework, including BGA, QFN, QFP, fine-pitch rework, soldering, desoldering, jumper installation, trace and pad repair, cable, harness, and PON replacement, connector repair, and other approved repair activities.
Restore and reassemble repaired products in accordance with approved manufacturing and workmanship requirements, ensuring proper fit, function, and reliability.
Determine appropriate disposition for failed products, including repair, additional engineering evaluation, return to supplier or customer, or scrap.
Coordinate retest and final product validation after repair to confirm complete functional recovery prior to release.
Lead or support technical investigation of RMA and customer-returned products, including failure reproduction, product teardown, repair feasibility assessment, and technical disposition.
Analyze recurring failures and repair trends across PCBA, subassembly, and finished-product levels to identify root causes and opportunities for design, process, or test improvements.
Collaborate with Test, Process, Manufacturing, Quality, and customer engineering teams to distinguish product failures from process, test, assembly, or handling issues.
Participate in root-cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions, 8D investigations, CAPA initiatives, and customer failure investigations as required.
Support engineering evaluations, prototype builds, new product introduction activities, production launches, and field-return investigations.
Develop and validate repair, teardown, reassembly, and recovery procedures for recurring failure modes to ensure consistent, high-quality repairs.
Provide technical direction and support to Production, Quality, Repair Technicians, and other cross-functional teams involved in repair and failure analysis activities.
Interpret and apply IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies requirements and applicable customer workmanship standards during repair and validation.
Ensure repaired PCBAs, subassemblies, and finished products meet applicable IPC, customer, engineering, mechanical, and internal requirements.
Verify that disassembly and repair activities do not introduce secondary damage and that products are correctly restored and reassembled.
Document repair activities, RMA findings, failure modes, root causes, dispositions, and corrective actions thoroughly and accurately.
Support internal and customer quality audits and provide technical evidence and documentation for product failure investigations.
Work with Test Engineering to confirm that repaired products successfully complete all applicable functional tests and final-product validation.
Maintain accurate repair records, RMA reports, failure-analysis reports, defect codes, teardown findings, and engineering documentation.
Review repair and return data to identify trends and opportunities to reduce repeat failures, scrap, rework, and repair turnaround time.
Develop and update repair instructions, RMA investigation methods, teardown and reassembly procedures, troubleshooting guides, and standard operating procedures to support continuous improvement.

Essential Skills

At least 5 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, product repair, failure analysis, RMA investigation, PCBA rework, or electronic troubleshooting.
Proven experience troubleshooting complete electronic products and advanced SMT packages, from finished-product level down to component and circuit level.
Strong understanding of electronic products, SMT and PCBA manufacturing, assembly, box-build, and product repair processes.
Ability to read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, assembly and mechanical drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), work instructions, test results, and product specifications.
Hands-on expertise with product teardown and reassembly, soldering, electronic rework, cable and harness repair, connectors, and mechanical integration.
Ability to use digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and related diagnostic equipment to isolate and verify failures.
Experience with failure analysis techniques and repair equipment, including component-level testing and troubleshooting.
Working knowledge of RMA processes, failure analysis testing, and documentation of defect codes, findings, and corrective actions.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes and propose effective corrective and preventive actions.
Clear and accurate technical communication skills for documenting findings and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies certification or demonstrated experience applying IPC-A-610 requirements is preferred.
IPC J-STD-001 certification or practical experience with soldered electrical and electronic assemblies is preferred.
Experience with IPC-7711/7721 rework and repair standards is highly desirable.
Strong background in RMA and failure-analysis processes, including trend analysis and continuous improvement initiatives, is strongly preferred.
Familiarity with X-ray or similar inspection tools for advanced package and assembly analysis is beneficial.
Ability to work effectively with Test, Process, Manufacturing, Quality, and engineering teams in a collaborative environment.
Comfort with developing and updating technical documentation such as repair instructions, troubleshooting guides, and standard operating procedures.

Work Environment

This role operates in an electronics manufacturing and repair environment focused on complex PCBAs, subassemblies, box-build products, and finished electronic goods. You work hands-on with diagnostic equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and repair tools for soldering, desoldering, and advanced rework, including BGA, QFN, and fine-pitch components. The position involves regular product teardown and reassembly, use of technical documentation, and collaboration with production, quality, test, and engineering teams. Work is typically performed in a lab or production-floor setting with standard electronics manufacturing safety practices and procedures
