Job Title

Job Description Summary: The Reality Labs Quality team is seeking an experienced Early Field Failure Analysis Engineer to conduct detailed root cause analysis on device failures. You will be responsible for performing failure analysis on high-volume, technically complex consumer products such as Meta smart glasses and Meta Quest virtual reality headsets. You will leverage your debug and diagnostic skills and utilize a wide array of failure analysis techniques to isolate the root cause of hardware failures. You will also communicate your findings and recommendations to a highly cross-functional team to influence and drive improvements to the quality of current and future products. To be successful in this role, you will have a passion for failure analysis, fault isolation, and troubleshooting. You will possess a strong curiosity for understanding failures at a symptom level, and through robust failure analysis techniques, dive deeper towards the root cause. You will be dependable and possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills to thrive in a highly cross-functional environment. Responsibilities: u2022 Perform engineering-level failure analysis of Reality Labs Devices. u2022 Own the end-to-end failure analysis process u2013 from failure replication at the system level to failure isolation at the module and component level. u2022 Investigate components, assemblies, and manufacturing processes to find the root causes of various product failures. u2022 Identify and drive closure to hardware design risks, assembly escapes, poor module quality, as well as software/firmware issues affecting product performance and reliability. Generate necessary test scenarios and collect data needed to isolate failure modes. u2022 Collaborate with relevant internal (mechanical, electrical, quality, software engineering teams) and external (vendors) stakeholders. u2022 Provide inputs to the design and process teams to improve design quality and production yield. This can be completed through lessons learned and developmental systems tear-downs to identify risk factors. u2022 Participate in the execution of failure analysis for any possible field safety escalations. u2022 Utilize various diagnostic equipment to characterize failures (power supply, oscilloscope, audio tester, thermal camera, microscope). u2022 Organize and manage lab space including testing areas, assembly areas, and other project workspaces. u2022 Manage and report progress of devices under triage.
