Senior Electrical Engineer, Hardware Reliability

Quick Facts

• Senior, hands-on electrical engineering role focused on hardware reliability and PCBA production quality

Description

Own electrical hardware failure analysis, PCBA reliability, and qualification/testing of new electrical designs and SMT manufacturing lines for high-volume production. Perform end-to-end root-cause analysis and drive corrective actions for failures across phased-array antenna, Wi‑Fi router, and power supply PCBAs. Improve yield, prevent factory escapes, document failure modes, and partner with design, software, test, and manufacturing to expand test coverage and reliability.

Responsibilities

• Qualify and test new electrical designs and SMT manufacturing lines for high-volume production
• Debug failed phased-array antenna, Wi‑Fi router, and power supply PCBA assemblies to drive root cause and corrective actions
• Use advanced diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, x-ray machines, logic analyzers, and custom firmware scripts) to root cause electronics
• Develop tools and identify equipment to speed up electronic root-cause investigations
• Drive root cause of PCBA production yield issues and prevent defective hardware from escaping the factory
• Document failure modes and use data to continually improve reliability
• Partner with engineering teams to improve yield, processes, test coverage, quality, and reliability

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related engineering discipline
• 5+ years experience working with digital or mixed-signal designs
• Hands-on use of oscilloscopes and digital multimeters
• Experience with power supplies and/or soldering equipment
• Ability to work long hours and weekends as needed
• Ability to travel up to 30%
• Ability to work 100% onsite in Bastrop, TX (Austin area)

Benefits

• High-visibility role with ownership of systemic production issues and end-to-end failure resolution
• Opportunity to drive process and test improvements that continuously raise product quality and reliability
