This is an opportunity to influence the future of Meta's infrastructure as we build FA framework from the grounds up that is needed to scale our current services and support long term goal of meeting Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).Candidate gets to work on state of the projects including custom ASICs, Robotics and able to spruce FA relationship with worldwide supply and manufacturing base. Candidate will be applying knowledge of system hardware, electrical, and materials analysis to perform failure analysis across different issues and provide a turnkey solution to arrive on corrective actions.

Failure Analysis Engineer Responsibilities:

  • Responsible for all aspects of identifying and characterizing failures on Data Center HW that leads to successful identification of RootCause of the failure
  • Independently be able to use FA equipment such as Optical/Digital Microscopes, Oscilloscopes, X-ray, SEM needed to successfully complete FA projects
  • Work closely with HW Reliability to Root Cause reliability failures
  • Recreate and identify failures observed in engineering, production, and field as needed for efficient fault isolation
  • Debugging thermal related PCB and electrical module failures
  • Develop Corrective actions for various fails that we see based on Physics Of Failure methodology and validate the same
  • Taking additional steps to ensure prevention of similar issues from repeating on new NPI programs
  • Quantify FA in terms of improvements in yield, reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, testability, capacity, and cost when needed
  • Validate and verify supplier and vendor FA
