Number of required personnel: 1
Job requirements:
Need to be stationed in Düren, Germany for 1-2 years, after which the work location will be in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, mainly responsible for liaising with German OEM clients and conducting after-sales part analysis.
1. Failure analysis and problem diagnosis
Failure mode identification: Collect on-site failure samples (such as fracture, wear, corrosion, etc.), determine the failure mode through visual inspection, microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other means.
Root cause analysis: Use tools such as fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys analysis, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to locate the root cause of the failure (design defects, material issues, process deviations, or usage environment, etc.).
Experimental verification: Design and execute laboratory tests (such as metallographic analysis, mechanical performance testing, chemical composition analysis, vibration testing, etc.) to verify the failure mechanism.
2. Technical reports and improvement suggestions
Write detailed failure analysis reports, including failure phenomena, analysis process, conclusions, and improvement suggestions.
Collaborate with design, production, and quality departments to promote design optimization, process improvement, or material replacement to prevent recurrence of similar issues.
3. Cross-department collaboration and technical support
Participate in customer complaint handling, analyze failure cases reported by customers, and provide technical explanations and solutions.
Assist the production department in troubleshooting production line anomalies and resolving batch quality issues.
Support risk assessment during the new product development phase (such as DFMEA) and propose reliability design suggestions.
4. Standards and process establishment
Develop standard operating procedures (SOP) and case libraries for failure analysis to enhance team analysis efficiency.
Promote the implementation of industry standards (such as ISO 26262, IEC 60068) or internal corporate standards.
5. Prevention and continuous improvement
Based on failure data statistics, identify quality trends and propose preventive measures (such as process monitoring point optimization).
Participate in quality improvement projects (such as Six Sigma, 8D reports) to promote systematic quality enhancement.
6. Tools and technology application
Proficient in using analysis tools (such as EDS spectrometers, CT scanning, finite element simulation software, etc.).
Familiar with the automotive industry quality management system (such as IATF 16949) and reliability testing standards.
Key capability requirements:
Technical background: Relevant majors such as materials science, mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering, etc., familiar with the properties of metal/non-metal materials.
Analytical ability: Logically rigorous, able to derive conclusions by combining experimental data and engineering experience.
Communication ability: Able to translate technical language into actionable plans that can be implemented across departments.
Industry knowledge: Understand typical failure modes of automotive components (such as engines, braking systems, electronic components).
