- Employment
- Full-time
About the role
- You have hands-on experience in electronics or semiconductor manufacturing — whether in failure analysis, test engineering, process engineering, quality, hardware development, or a similar technical role.
- You're comfortable working with messy, real-world manufacturing data to identify patterns, form hypotheses, and determine what evidence is needed before recommending action.
- You know how to investigate root cause across production data, test data, supply chain data, process history, product context, and customer-reported symptoms.
- You don't stop at analysis — you drive corrective actions and can demonstrate measurable impact on yield, failure analysis cycle time, throughput, scrap/rework, or bonepile recovery.
- You communicate complex technical findings clearly to diverse audiences: engineering teams, OEM/CSP stakeholders, manufacturing operators, and internal teammates.
- You're excited to work with next-generation AI tools and apply rigorous engineering judgment to AI-generated findings.
- You're product-minded — you can spot workflow friction, identify product gaps, and recognize repeatable customer use cases while staying focused on delivering outcomes.
- You thrive in ambiguity, take ownership without waiting for perfect instructions, and are energized by solving hard technical problems with real customer stakes.
- Own customer investigations using Instrumental Solve, turning ambiguous manufacturing questions into structured analyses, validated findings, and recommended next steps.
- Work directly with customer engineering teams, OEMs, CSPs, and manufacturing stakeholders to investigate issues impacting yield, throughput, failure analysis time, bonepile recovery, scrap/rework, or time-to-market.
- Use manufacturing data across production, test, supply chain, environment, product, logs, and customer-reported issues to identify patterns, form hypotheses, and pressure-test likely root causes.
- Drive corrective actions with customer teams and manufacturing sites, ensuring findings lead to real changes in process, product, supplier, or operational behavior — building credibility and driving sustained Solve adoption along the way.
- Quantify the impact of Solve investigations by connecting actions taken to measurable improvements in customer manufacturing metrics.
- Partner closely with Instrumental Product and Engineering to identify product gaps, repeatable use cases, and workflow improvements that make Solve more valuable across customers.
- Help define how Instrumental delivers Solve outcomes as the product scales, including investigation playbooks, customer workflows, and best practices for closing the loop from insight to impact.
