About the role

Senior role in Google's XR/Raxium display group focusing on end-to-end failure analysis for next-generation Light Engine Assemblies (LEAs) including microLED displays and related sub-components. Emphasis on advanced FA techniques, root-cause investigation, and cross-functional collaboration to implement corrective actions.

Responsibilities

  • Support end-to-end failure analysis (FA) investigations for next-generation Light Engine Assemblies (LEAs), including microLED displays, modules, and associated sub-components.
  • Analyze and diagnose component failures originating from NPI builds, reliability qualification testing, production excursions, and field returns.
  • Perform lab analysis using advanced techniques, including electrical testing, optical setups, firmware debugging, SEM/EDX, FIB, TEM, X-ray/CT inspection, Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM), micro-probing, and physical cross-sectioning.
  • Define and standardize FA workflows, fault isolation procedures, and Turnaround Time (TAT) performance metrics.
  • Pinpoint underlying physical failure mechanisms and collaborate with design, process, and quality teams to implement root-cause solutions and corrective actions.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Optical engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4 years of experience working in a failure analysis role for displays or semiconductor modules.
  • Experience with optoelectronic modules, including working principles, manufacturing and assembly, testing and characterization, and failure modes.
  • Experience operating physical failure analysis (FA) tools (e.g., SEM/EDX, FIB, X-ray, cross-section/polishing, optical microscopy) and electrical fault isolation equipment.
