• Lead the failure analysis process for X-ray tube and power supply failures from the final assembly and final test processes.
• Identify and confirm root causes of failures using structured problem-solving methodologies (Fault Tree Analysis, DOE, 8D).
• Collaborate with design and other engineers and technicians to implement design-for-reliability improvements, and corrective action preventive action plans (CAPA).
• Use data analysis to track and trend failure and scrap data to identify systemic issues in products and equipment.
• Support scrap cost-reduction initiatives through process and design improvements.
• Collaborate with the maintenance technicians to track and resolve equipment issues.
• Lead the qualification of new equipment or after the equipment has been modified.
• Author comprehensive technical reports and failure summaries for customers and internal stakeholders.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to final assembly and final test process technicians.
• Conduct advanced diagnostics, including:
  • High-voltage load testing.
  • Vacuum integrity testing (helium leak detection, residual gas analysis).
  • Electrical waveform capture and analysis (oscilloscope, HV probes).
  • Thermal and mechanical stress assessments.

Key Competencies:

To perform the job successfully, the individual should demonstrate the following competencies to perform the essential functions of this position:

• Strong analytical skills for correlating data, test results, and physical evidence (required).
• Experience with SPC, DOE, and other statistical analysis methods (required).
• Experience with statistical analysis software like JMP, R, or Minitab (preferred).
• Deep understanding of X-ray tube operation, high-voltage power supply design, and vacuum systems (preferred).
• Proficiency with diagnostic instruments such as oscilloscopes, HV probes, helium leak detectors, and X-ray emission measurement tools (preferred).
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems, and engineering change control processes (preferred).

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Materials Engineering (or equivalent).
• 3–5 years of experience in a manufacturing environment performing failure analysis, implementing countermeasures, and performing data analysis (required).
• Experience with high-voltage systems, or vacuum-based product troubleshooting (preferred).
