Hey everyone,
I'm with Erdos Miller (erdosmiller.com) and we recently opened a role for an electronics failure analyst -- we'd like to find someone who is passionate about troubleshooting and root causing failures in our products and I wanted to cast a wide net by posting in a couple online forums.
A little about who we are and what we do: We design precision electronics used in Oil and Gas, which means they get exposed to harsh environments (high temperature and lots of shock and vibe). We started out by doing a lot of consulting, but have lately shifted our focus to our internal products. We're relatively small (about 40 employees) and do what we can to maintain a startup feel where everyone is given a healthy level of autonomy -- we have priorities that we need to make sure get taken care of, but we also want people to have the space to learn new things and have their ideas flourish.
What we're looking for: Like I said, our products are used in harsh environments and failures happen. We have a need in the organization for someone who is passionate about investigating why something failed and what we could be doing differently to prevent repeated failures. The scope of these investigations range from nitty-gritty electronics to the full system in which those electronics are used. You could be looking at schematics and trying to track down which component failed or you could be reviewing run logs to explore what was going on surrounding the time of the failure. Other times, you could be trying to come up with a clever experiment just to try recreating the failure in the lab so we can unearth the root cause.
I have the official Job Ad below, but feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! I can respond directly in the forum or you can shoot me an email: nathan.szanto@erdosmiller.com
