From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
As the Failure Analysis Manager, you will own the technical strategy and execution for a team that investigates why hardware fails and ensures it doesn't fail again. Your team applies electrical fault isolation, physical analysis, and accelerated stress testing to Amazon's most complex hardware, turning ambiguous failures into actionable design improvements.
You will lead a team of highly talented engineers through investigations spanning NPI and field returns, delivering root cause clarity that directly shapes product decisions. You will set the vision for the team's growth, build senior-level partnerships across Amazon's hardware portfolio, and serve as the authoritative voice on failure risk, corrective actions, and recovery plans for critical customer escalations.
Key job responsibilities
Own root cause failure analysis and reliability testing outcomes across Amazon's hardware portfolio: consumer electronics, spacecrafts, drones, data center infrastructure, robotics, and some others
SPICE lab is a Seattle-based R&D team within Amazon's Lab126 subsidiary, partnering with Amazon's most ambitious hardware organizations. We support a growing portfolio of programs including Prime Air, Leo, Mechatronics, AWS, Annapurna, Lab126 Devices, and others. If you are passionate about building the future and want to take part in developing ideas from concept to production, consider joining the SPICE lab team!
Our lab operates across three closely integrated functions: Failure Analysis, Reliability Testing, and Materials Characterization. These disciplines reinforce each other — failure investigations inform test planning, reliability testing reproduces mechanisms to validate root cause hypotheses, and shared analytical techniques underpin materials selection decisions. This role will manage both the Failure Analysis and Reliability Testing teams.
Strong hands-on capability with established depth across component, board, and system failure domains, and a track record of influencing hardware design decisions at the portfolio level
