Electrical Failure Analysis Engineer (f/m/div)

#WeAreIn for jobs that impact everyone\’s life. Driving continuous improvement – ready to make quality a culture? As an Electrical Failure Analysis Engineer in our Quality & Excellence team uncover the root causes behind every single error, drive transformational improvements, and implement forward thinking solutions to ensure our products exceed the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance. Are you in?

Your Role

Key responsibilities in your new role
Join our dynamic new team in Padova as an Electrical Failure Analysis Engineer, where you will play a key role in analyzing customer returns for automotive microcontroller products. You will work on understanding and reproducing customer-reported failures, performing in-depth technical analyses using advanced tools and equipment, and providing expert guidance to ensure efficient resolution and continuous improvement.

• Understand the customers failure description and reproduce failures in the application or at device level
• Define the failure origin as well as further analysis steps and perform the analysis using a test bench
• Use, adapt and develop our functional tests (i.e. application pattern) for reproducing the failure at our evaluation board
• Develop a specialized measurement setup using an oscilloscope and a debugger to reproduce failures – this may also involve executing and debugging customer code as part of the analysis
• Prepare analysis reports and provide continuous updates to support the \“customer complaint organization\“ in delivering regular status updates. Create special test cases for defect localization and define test program improvements when needed
• Build up a technical focus area where you are our most experienced engineer, e.g. Non-Volatile-Memory (NVM), SRAM, Mixed-signal / analog, High-Speed-Interfaces or test-program development

Note: This job is in electrical failure engineering, not in physical failure analysis. This role involves electrical measuring the device, no chemical or optical activities.

Your Profile

Qualifications and skills to help you succeed
You are a self-motivated individual with the ability to thrive in complex environments, tackle challenges with a growth mindset, and handle multiple tasks effectively. We welcome juniors who are eager to learn, contribute to a collaborative environment, and build long-term expertise while growing into mentoring and knowledge-sharing roles.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or equivalent field of study
• Experience in electrical failure analysis or a similar field is preferred, but motivated juniors with relevant knowledge are encouraged to apply
• Understanding of electrical measurement methods such as DC measurements, oscilloscopes and frequency generators; familiarity with the physical background of semiconductor measurements is a plus
• Knowledge in software development for microcontroller applications – automotive experience is a plus
• Programming skills in C, Perl or Python
• Fluency in English, and Italian would be an advantage

Please send us your CV in English.
