About the role

EnduroSat designs and manufactures software-defined CubeSats, smallsats, and space-grade subsystems that fly in LEO, where a single undetected defect can end a mission. As Failure Analysis Engineer, you sit at the point where that risk is caught, understood, and eliminated. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Leading failure analysis investigations on electronic hardware (PCBA, EEE components, harnesses, mechanical interfaces) raised through the non-conformance (NCR) process
  • Performing fault isolation and diagnostics at the bench - signal tracing, in-circuit measurement, functional testing, and bring-up debugging on flight and engineering-model boards
  • Determining root cause to the level of the failing component or mechanism, distinguishing design, manufacturing, component, and process contributors
  • Defining, proposing, and verifying corrective and preventive actions
  • Using non-destructive and destructive analysis techniques as appropriate to confirm failure mechanisms
  • Maintaining the failure analysis case record, trending recurring failure modes, and feeding lessons learned back into design rules, screening, and supplier requirements
