Senior Opto-Mechanical Failure Analysis Engineer

Описание

NVIDIA Networking division is looking for a Senior Opto-mechanical failure analysis expert to join their mechanical engineering department as a key player in the development of next generation high-performance Telecommunication solutions for data centers. This position includes close interaction with HW, NPI, Thermal, Layout, Quality and Supply chain teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead multidisciplinary investigations for advanced opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical products, including PCB/PCBA assemblies and complex system integrations
• Drive debug activities, perform hands-on root cause analysis on field returns, reliability failures, manufacturing defects, and system-level issues using analytical and laboratory techniques
• Join and lead task forces to investigate and support production excursions, failure analysis and reliability issues
• Work closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Signal Integrity, Thermal, Reliability, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to identify corrective and preventive actions
• Perform and drive mechanical simulations of components and assemblies to support failure analysis, root cause investigations, and product design optimization
• Develop failure analysis methodologies, documentation standards, and best practices to improve product robustness and reliability
• Present technical findings and recommendations to cross-functional engineering and management teams

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering / Physics / Material Engineering or higher, with 5+ years of experience in opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical product development, including PCB/PCBA design
• Strong understanding of failure analysis methodologies, root cause investigation, reliability engineering principles, and physics-of-failure analysis
• Hands-on experience debugging complex opto-electro-mechanical systems and identifying thermal, mechanical, assembly, manufacturing, and reliability-related failure mechanisms
• Experience leading complex technical investigations, including DOE execution, 8D methodology, and preparation of detailed investigation and failure analysis reports
• Strong background in mechanical simulations for components and assemblies as part of product design and failure analysis activities
• Hands-on experience with laboratory and analytical tools such as microscopy, X-ray, CT scanning, thermal imaging, strain/stress measurements, and optical lab equipment in clean room environments
• Knowledge of optical manufacturing processes, inspection methods, optical modules, fiber-optic interconnects, and multidisciplinary system integration
• Excellent hands-on experience with 3D CAD tools; Creo is an an advantage
• Strong understanding of manufacturability, GD&T, CTF dimensioning, and statistical tolerance analysis techniques
• Self-motivated team player with strong verbal and written communication skills in both English and Hebrew

Nice to have

• Active involvement in the development of opto-mechanical telecommunication devices
• Exposure development of advanced thermal solutions such as heat-pipes, vapor chambers and liquid cooling
• Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments with a strong focus on reliability, yield improvement, and design for manufacturability (DFM)
• Experience with mechanical stress simulation tools suchs as ANSYS Mechanical
• Record of working with supply chains, contract manufacturers, and leading resources such as consultants, component suppliers, contractors, and manufacturing partners
