Job Summary
1.1 Serves as the primary technical resource for conducting first-level failure analysis on rejected tools, battery packs, and components from production lines, providing timely investigation and technical support to identify manufacturing, process, material, and supplier-related issues.
1.2 Drives systematic root cause analysis and troubleshooting activities in collaboration with Production, Quality, Engineering, and suppliers to resolve product and process failures, improve product reliability, and minimize quality-related losses.
1.3 Responsible for developing, maintaining, and continuously improving failure analysis methodologies, troubleshooting procedures, test methods, and reporting processes. Ensures consistent and standardized execution of failure analysis activities, supports corrective and preventive action implementation, and recommends improvements based on failure trends and best practices.
1.4 Acts as a technical referent for complex failures that cannot be resolved through routine failure analysis methods, providing detailed investigation findings and recommendations to support decision-making and continuous improvement initiatives.
1.5 Responsible for monitoring and analyzing failure data, identifying recurring issues and trends, and supporting improvement projects to enhance quality, yield, productivity, and customer satisfaction.
2.0 Key Responsibilities / Job Scope
2.1.1 Responsible for conducting first-level failure analysis on rejected tools, battery packs, and components from the production line to identify process, material, manufacturing, or supplier related issues that cannot be resolved by Failure Analyzers.
2.1.2 Coordinate measurement and verification activities for dimensional analysis of parts and assemblies to support root cause investigation and problem-solving activities.
2.1.3 Follow up and track the resolution status of supplier-related quality issues, including coordination with Purchasing Quality Engineering (PUQ) and suppliers to ensure timely containment and corrective actions.
2.1.4 Support Value Stream Engineers (VSE) in the preparation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of production documentation, including In-Process Checklists, Production Work Instructions (PWI), Production Quality Indications (PQI), Quality Alerts, and other manufacturing documents.
2.1.5 Develop and maintain rework and sorting instructions for non-conforming products detected during production to ensure proper containment and disposition activities.
2.1.6 Maintain and update PT Packaging System data, including part number setup and barcode configuration, to ensure accurate material identification, traceability, and shipment accuracy.
