Minimum 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.
Preferred qualifications
Master's degree or PhD in Materials Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optics/Photonics, or related discipline. 8 years of failure analysis experience specializing in micro displays, projectors, optoelectronics systems, or optical modules. Deep expertise in advanced non-destructive and destructive FA techniques and tools, for displays and electro-optical subassemblies. Experience leading root-cause analysis (RCA) and delivering actionable failure analysis reports to cross-functional engineering teams.
Strong knowledge of display module failure mechanisms (e.g., wire bond fatigue, die cracking, delamination, active alignment shift, optical degradation, moisture ingress, EOS/ESD). About the job For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by breakthroughs in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR team is at the forefront of the next major leap – the convergence of AI and XR. This is more than just new devices – it's about reimagining how we interact with the world around us.
