• Support containment, root cause analysis, and corrective actions for electronics-related issues.
• Analyze electronics failure trends at instrument and sub-assembly level and propose improvement initiatives through data-driven analysis.
• Work with Quality, Production, and R&D to implement corrective and preventive actions.

Test Engineering & Software Support

• Support and improve electronics test systems (functional test, system test, diagnostics).
• Develop or modify test software, scripts, or configurations to improve fault detection and debug capability.
• Improve test coverage, test limits, and diagnostic effectiveness to reduce false failures and escapes.
• Support test correlation and test robustness activities.

Schematic Review & Design Support

• Read, interpret, and review electrical schematics and wiring diagrams to support troubleshooting.
• Provide feedback to R&D on design weaknesses, test gaps, or field failure learnings.
• Support basic schematic updates or test-point recommendations where applicable.

Manufacturing & Cross-Functional Support

• Provide hands-on electronics support on the production floor.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent.
• Minimum 2 years of experience supporting electronics in instrument, medical device, or precision equipment manufacturing.
• Strong ability to analyze and troubleshoot PCBAs using schematics and test data.
• Experience with electronics failure analysis and root cause methodologies.
• Working knowledge of electronics test software development or scripting (e.g. LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, or equivalent).
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and system diagrams.
• Familiarity with manufacturing documentation (WI, FA reports, corrective action records).
• Knowledge of ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 is an advantage.
• Data-driven mindset with practical experience in scrap, yield, and trend analysis.
• Strong technical communication skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Hands-on, disciplined, and problem-solving oriented.
