Seasonal Failure Analysis Engineer information

What is the difference between Seasonal Failure Analysis Engineer vs Failure Analysis Engineer?

AspectSeasonal Failure Analysis EngineerFailure Analysis Engineer
CredentialsTypically requires engineering degree, certifications in failure analysis or reliabilitySimilar credentials, often with additional certifications in materials or electronics
Work EnvironmentPrimarily in manufacturing, automotive, or electronics industries, focusing on seasonal product issuesBroader industries, including electronics, aerospace, and manufacturing, with ongoing failure investigations
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by companies with seasonal product cycles, such as consumer electronics or automotiveCommon across various industries requiring failure diagnostics and reliability testing

The Seasonal Failure Analysis Engineer specializes in diagnosing failures related to seasonal product variations, while the Failure Analysis Engineer handles a wider range of failure investigations across multiple industries. Both roles require similar technical skills and certifications, but the seasonal engineer focuses on issues arising during specific times of the year, such as temperature fluctuations or seasonal usage patterns.

Job description

JOB SUMMARY

This role conducts battery failure investigations to identify root causes using analytical testing and laboratory experiments. The position supports testing, operates lab equipment, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions. Responsibilities also include technical reporting and maintaining a safe, well-managed lab environment.


ESSENTIAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

 

Failure Analysis Investigations:

  • Lead investigations into battery failures, including cell ruptures, thermal runaway events, capacity fade, and other performance issues, using a combination of analytical techniques and testing methodologies.
  • Conduct thorough examinations of failed battery cells/modules/packs, including visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), and materials analysis, to identify failure modes and mechanisms

Root Cause Identification:

  • Analyze data from failure investigations, including voltage/current profiles, temperature measurements, and environmental conditions, to determine the root causes of battery failures.
  • Develop hypotheses and perform root cause analyses to identify contributing factors such as manufacturing defects, design flaws, material degradation, or operational issues.

Testing and Validation:

  • Design and execute experiments and tests to validate hypotheses and simulate failure conditions, including accelerated aging tests, thermal cycling tests, and abuse testing (e.g., overcharge, over-discharge).
  • Collaborate with internal and external partners, including research institutions and testing laboratories, to conduct specialized tests and analyses as needed.

Laboratory Management:

  • Manage laboratory equipment effectively to maintain an environment conducive to accurate analysis and evaluation
  • Procure laboratory consumables required for battery analysis and manage the disposal of batteries upon completion of testing.

Failure Mode Documentation and Reporting:

  • Document findings from failure analyses, including detailed descriptions of failure modes, root causes, and contributing factors, in comprehensive technical reports.
  • Communicate results and recommendations to cross-functional teams, including engineering, quality assurance, and product development, to drive corrective actions and improvements.


REQUIREMENTS

 

MINIMUM EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

- Understanding of problem-solving and detail-oriented analytical skills, with the ability to think critically and troubleshoot complex issues.

- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, managing multiple projects concurrently and prioritizing tasks effectively.

- Ability to perform routine physical activities, including lifting, carrying and moving materials.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

- Experience in battery failure analysis, reliability engineering, or a related field, with a focus on lithium-ion batteries or similar energy storage systems.

- Expertise in battery technologies and associated systems.

- Methodological knowledge on how to conduct Root Cause Analysis (practical experience is a plus)

- Experience in operating a variety of analytical equipment, such as CT, SEM/EDX, and so on.

- Experience in multicultural working environment.

- Communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts and findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
