As a Failure Analysis Lab Engineer, you will be responsible for conducting technical lab work which supports satellite failure analysis and materials development investigations. You will develop and execute SOPs focused on producing world-class analysis outcomes in the areas of sample preparation and physical/chemical characterization. A majority of time will be spent in a lab environment, so enthusiasm for hands-on work and developing lab procedures is important. You will provide technical support for materials and failure analysis investigations with the goal of driving design and manufacturing improvements. To enable this, you will be an expert in the following:

· Mechanical cross sectioning and associated sample preparation
· X-ray inspection methods (2D and computed tomography)
· Optical inspection methods and measurements
· Lab equipment procurement and maintenance
