Electrical Engineer
Job Summary:
We are seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer with hands-on experience in electrical and electronic troubleshooting, root cause analysis (RCA), and oscilloscope-based testing. The ideal candidate will be responsible for diagnosing hardware and circuit-level failures, performing electrical measurements, analyzing waveforms, identifying failure mechanisms, and implementing effective corrective and preventive actions to improve product reliability and performance.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical & Electronic Troubleshooting:
Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical circuits, electronic boards, power supplies, and hardware systems.
Identify faults such as voltage drops, signal distortion, noise, short circuits, open circuits, and intermittent failures.
Perform component-level troubleshooting using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other electronic test equipment.
Analyze circuit schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation to isolate faults.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA):
Conduct systematic root cause analysis of electrical and electronic failures.
Investigate recurring failures using methods such as 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams, and fault-tree analysis.
Identify the underlying causes of circuit malfunctions, component failures, and performance deviations.
Develop and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to prevent recurrence.
Document failure analysis reports, test results, and RCA findings.
Oscilloscope Testing & Waveform Analysis:
Perform oscilloscope-based testing to evaluate voltage, current, frequency, timing, and signal integrity.
Analyze analog and digital waveforms, including transient responses, ripple, overshoot, undershoot, and noise.
Troubleshoot clock signals, PWM signals, communication interfaces, switching circuits, and power electronics.
Measure rise time, fall time, duty cycle, frequency, phase relationships, and timing deviations.
Use appropriate probes and measurement techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Correlate waveform measurements with circuit behavior to identify abnormal operating conditions and failure mechanisms.
Testing, Validation & Reliability:
Execute functional, electrical performance, and failure reproduction tests.
Validate corrective actions through repeat testing and waveform comparison.
Support design verification, product validation, and reliability improvement activities.
Maintain test records, measurement data, and troubleshooting documentation.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Work with design, production, quality, and service teams to resolve electrical issues.
Support failure investigations, engineering change implementation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Recommend design or process improvements based on test findings and failure trends.
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
Hands-on experience in electrical and electronic troubleshooting and failure analysis.
Practical knowledge of oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, function generators, and bench power supplies.
Ability to interpret circuit schematics, electrical diagrams, and electronic waveforms.
Strong understanding of analog and digital electronics, power circuits, and electrical measurement techniques.
Experience with root cause analysis and corrective action methodologies.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills.
Preferred Skills:
Experience with mixed-signal circuits, embedded hardware, power supplies, or electronic control systems.
Familiarity with signal integrity, switching noise, grounding, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).Knowledge of SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, or other communication interfaces, depending on the product.
Experience with automated test equipment, failure reproduction, and reliability testing.
Familiarity with test reports, failure tracking, and continuous improvement processes.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
Troubleshooting turnaround time.
Root cause identification accuracy.
Reduction in recurring electrical and electronic failures.
Effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions.
Test and validation accuracy.
