Senior Data Analytics Engineer, Hardware Quality

We are looking for a Senior Quality Data Engineer – Hardware to join our Hardware Quality Engineering team.

In this role, you will bring together manufacturing, test, device telemetry, field, warranty, and failure analysis data to understand how our products are performing and where we can improve. You will work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to identify quality trends, investigate failures, improve detection, and help prevent known issues from reaching customers.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of hardware and data. You will work closely with Hardware Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Reliability, Firmware, Operations, and Data teams.

• →Analyze manufacturing, factory test, device telemetry, field, warranty, and failure analysis data to identify quality trends and emerging issues.
• →Connect data across manufacturing systems, test logs, device telemetry, and field returns to understand relationships between how a product was built, how it performed during test, and how it performs in the field.
• →Support failure investigations by identifying patterns and correlations that help connect field failures back to manufacturing processes, components, test results, or product behavior.
• →Compare failed and known-good populations to identify manufacturing, test, telemetry, or component signals associated with downstream failures.
• →Analyze manufacturing and final test parameters to identify marginal passes, abnormal trends, and opportunities to improve screening and escape detection.
• →Build cohort-based warranty and field-quality analysis across product, build, factory, component, configuration, and time in field.
• →Apply statistical methods to separate meaningful product and process signals from normal variation and help teams make data-driven quality decisions.
• →Develop monitoring and early-warning indicators that help identify emerging quality issues before they become larger field or warranty problems.
• →Partner with Quality and Engineering teams to validate findings through failure analysis, controlled builds, additional inspection, or process experiments, and measure whether corrective actions are working.
• →Identify gaps in manufacturing and quality data, including missing data, inconsistent definitions, traceability gaps, or conflicting metrics, and work with the appropriate teams to resolve them.
• →Build scalable analytics, dashboards, and automated reporting that give engineering teams clear visibility into product and manufacturing quality.
• →Partner with Data Engineering and Data Science teams when new data pipelines or infrastructure are needed while owning the Hardware Quality use cases and analysis.
• →Communicate findings clearly and turn complex datasets into conclusions and recommendations that engineering teams and leadership can act on.

• 5+ years of experience working with data in engineering, manufacturing, quality, reliability, operations, or a related technical environment.
• Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with Python for data analysis and automation.
• Experience working with large datasets and turning ambiguous engineering or product questions into structured analysis.
• Experience with manufacturing, hardware test, reliability, warranty, field, or product data.
• Working knowledge of statistics and experience comparing populations, identifying correlations, and evaluating trends.
• Experience building analytics and visualizations using Tableau, Databricks, or similar tools.
• Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity to understand why a product or process is behaving the way it is.
• Ability to work effectively across Hardware, Manufacturing, Firmware, Quality, Reliability, and Data teams.
• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly to both engineering teams and leadership.
• Experience validating data outputs from AI/ML models to manufacturing data sets via python, athena data analysis

• Experience with consumer electronics, wearables, IoT, medical devices, or other high-volume hardware products.
• Experience working with manufacturing test data, MES, serialized device traceability, factory process data, or device telemetry.
• Experience analyzing warranty, RMA, reliability, or field-return data.
• Experience correlating manufacturing or test parameters with downstream product failures.
• Understanding of hardware test, manufacturing processes, failure mechanisms, battery behavior, or electrical systems.
• Experience with statistical process control, anomaly detection, predictive analytics, or similar techniques applied to hardware or manufacturing problems.
• Familiarity with Databricks, Tableau, AWS, dbt, or similar data and analytics platforms.
