About the Role
Allegro MicroSystems is seeking a highly skilled Quality Assurance & Failure Analysis Engineer to serve as a key technical representative for our Global Quality Assurance Department in the Japanese market. In this high-visibility role, you will bridge the gap between our U.S. headquarters and our valued Japanese customers, particularly within the fast-evolving automotive sector. Operating at the intersection of hands-on technical failure analysis and customer relationship management, you will support new business development, drive quality improvements, and ensure our industry-leading power and Hall-effect IC products meet the highest standards of reliability.
Responsibilities
- Perform hands-on, first-level failure analysis (FA), including bench-level electrical characterization and diagnostic testing on returned integrated circuits (ICs).
- Coordinate and manage specialized, destructive physical analysis (DPA) and advanced analytical testing with trusted third-party laboratories.
- Author comprehensive, highly detailed failure analysis reports, translating complex laboratory data into clear, actionable findings and root-cause explanations.
- Serve as the primary technical quality contact for customers in Japan, presenting FA findings and explaining technical root causes clearly and confidently.
- Collaborate closely with Customer Quality Engineering (CQE) and global teams to drive systematic root-cause investigations and implement effective corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
- Build and utilize quality methodologies such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Ishikawa (Fishbone) diagrams, 5 Why, and 8D frameworks to resolve complex issues.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 2+ years of engineering experience within the Japanese automotive industry (or a closely related high-reliability market).
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor failure analysis or electronic component analysis.
- 2+ years of experience working within a global, multinational company.
- Native-level Japanese and business-level English (both written and spoken) to effectively collaborate across regional offices.
- 3+ years of engineering experience within the semiconductor industry (e.g., wafer fabrication, IC packaging, assembly, or test engineering).
- Direct experience with semiconductor FA tools and techniques, such as mold resin decapsulation, micro-probing, emission microscopy (EMMI), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Focused Ion Beam (FIB), and layer-by-layer deprocessing.
- Proven ability to correlate physical and chemical failure analysis results with electrical failures and circuit schematics.
- Practical knowledge of quality tools including 8D, Ishikawa, 5 Why, and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
- High proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for compiling reports and metrics.
