Examples of the type of investigations:

• Identifieda semiconductor fabrication defect as well as a design related issue within a non-functioning, first version product to be used in a novel medical application:
  With this failure insight, the client was able to quickly implement appropriate changes and corrections to the manufacturing and redesign, producing a working product to further their new product launch activities.
• Isolated and identified the exact root cause of a product failure in the field, to a manufacturing event produced uniquely by a particular production step:
  With this information, the client was able to initiate a strategic containment plan to recall/quarantine the affected lot to avert catastrophic failures before they occurred. This helped prevent a larger public incident that could have damaged their product reliability and brand reputation.

In this role, you will employ a variety of advanced tools and techniques to help support diverse aspects of a client’s needs, which includes conducting…
