DescriptionMission:
You will own, build, and manage the RMA and FA debug and root-cause analysis for existing and new Groq AI / ML products. You will conduct tests, FA debug, and root-cause analysis.
Responsibilities & opportunities in this role:
Conduct and lead debug and root-cause analysis of field RMAs. Collaborate with Systems Engineers, Hardware Engineers, Software Engineers and Operations Engineers as required.
Scale Root Cause Failure Analysis capabilities within your organization.
Create Failure Analysis result reports that align with standard 8D or similar processes
Develop and optimize RMA testing strategy to improve timeliness and effectiveness of characterization process
Analyze RMA, Failure Analysis, and Repair data. Identify trends and raise quality alerts when necessary. Drive resolution, containment, and mitigation plans for such quality alerts.
Oversee hardware quality performance, monitoring field quality data and associated metrics including RMA Rates, MTBF, and Reliability Ratio.
Manage operational performance of Failure Analysis at contract manufacturer(s), ensuring partner(s) achieve key performance indicators, including FA cycle times, fault duplication rates, and fault isolation rates.
Drive learning’s from RMA / FA back into Manufacturing, Engineering, and Support teams.
Oversee the set-up of new products into Failure Analysis operations.
Ideal candidates have/are:
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related degree
7+ years of hands-on systems test and/or validation engineering experience
Proven hands-on management and leadership experience
Competence using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, etc.
Deeply cognizant of the differences between System test vs ATE test
Experience with enabling reliability tests such as HTOL and quality tests such as Burn In.
Ideal candidate will have working knowledge of Failure analysis techniques and tools such as FIB, SEM, TDR, VNA, and CSAM
Ideal candidate will also have working knowledge of Fault Isolation techniques such as OBIRCH, DLS/LADA, LVP and LVI
Proficiency with high speed interfaces (Serdes, PCIe, DDR)
Experience testing power sub-sections (e.g. POLs, VRMs, etc.)
Familiarity with lower speed interfaces like SPI, I2C, CAN bus, etc.
Proficiency in Python, Perl, C++, or other languages on UNIX/Linux
Experience in Failure Analysis for one (or more) of the following:
Microprocessors, complex SOC devices, AI Systems, Servers, Network Systems
Excellent knowledge of PCB card and system-level test and debug
Able to manage factory floor partners (CM’s) for RMA / FA activities
Attributes of a Groqster:
Humility - Egos are checked at the door
Collaborative & Team Savvy - We make up the smartest person in the room, together
Growth & Giver Mindset - Learn it all versus know it all, we share knowledge generously
Curious & Innovative - Take a creative approach to projects, problems, and design
Passion, Grit, & Boldness - no limit thinking, fueling informed risk taking
