Please read all job requirements, we will not consider you if you do not posses the skills requested.
Microsoft is a world leader in the design of personal computer input devices. We are currently looking for a creative and talented individual with a passion for technology to drive reliability and qualification of hardware products to advance PC Hardware’s leadership position in exceeding our consumers' durability expectations.
The candidate’s primary responsibility will be development and implementation of methodologies/techniques to enhance product reliability. The candidate will be required to analyze and verify engineering design concepts of electro and optical mechanical products using simulation and test tools. He/she will be expected to propose design improvement based on analyses results.
Candidate should be able to perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate product (mechanical) functional performance as well as address overstress and fatigue-related durability problems.
The applicant should understand Physics-of-Failure and be able to develop and implement accelerated tests to mitigate risks and qualify engineering designs during product development. She/he is expected to be familiar with using acceleration models for common failure modes in electronic products to estimate product service life. Candidate should be capable of applying Design of Experiments (DOE) concepts to develop test plans to improve product robustness and performance.
The individual should be able to use knowledge of product design and manufacturing to develop Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Knowledge of statistical techniques and models is required to analyze test data and estimate product life cycle performance.
Candidate will be responsible for monitoring product performance in the field and will work closely with manufacturing partners and component vendors to perform failure analysis and drive corrective action.
At the component level, the individual will work with other functional disciplines to develop specifications for discrete components used in PCB assembly. He/she will participate in component vendor selection activity and will be responsible for component qualification activity for components that are critical and strategic to Microsoft product requirements. The candidate will be expected to use knowledge of process capability for electronic component production as well as system-level performance requirements to establish critical to quality performance metrics. Person in this role will be responsible for implementing low cost part procurement strategies while minimizing component performance and reliability risk.
The candidate will use knowledge of electronic package design as well as qualification methodologies for silicon and packages to support qualification of ASICs developed internally at Microsoft.
This role will require engagement on multiple products with cross-functional teams. Strong skill-set in analysis and problem solving as well as communication are required. Candidates must be able to travel internationally.
Qualifications:
Masters degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Materials Engineering or a related field.
Three years work experience in:
• reliability and life estimation of electro-mechanical products using computer aided engineering design tools, statistics and finite element models;
• developing mechanical functioning, environmental stress and accelerated life tests to evaluate product performance;
Proven experience in working with external design and manufacturing partners is a plus
