Senior / Principal Engineer - Product Testing and Failure Investigation (m/f/d) - IT

General Responsibilities

• Independently drive and execute/perform technical failure investigation/analysis working with software driven electro-mechanical system/product (& parts) to investigate & determine technical root causes for potential defects (..NCRs). To support quality & reliability improvement (defect reduction) initiatives in - Innovation, Engineering sustenance, R&D, manufacturing as well as post-launch product life cycle.
• Such technical investigation includes such as by driving to collaborate with cross-functional members and developing test concepts and methods, building test setups, executing tests, and documenting reports.
• This to support any hypothesis, failure mechanisms, understanding & characterizing potential product defects. Sources of product problems can be from manufacturing NCRs, field complaints, Product development failures or OOS.
• Support the QE team with technical knowledge such as discussing and generating test or investigation concept for defect/failure investigation as well as product risk analysis and chairing generation of technical solutions for any corrective actions.
• Take ownership to develop and maintain the quality investigation lab.
• Write technical investigation reports and risk assessments as a part of customer complaint and non-conformity handling.
• Technical and functional assessment of broker goods as quality SME.
• Establishing & improving processes surrounding the job role.
