Senior Opto-Mechanical Failure Analysis Engineer
On-siteFull-timeHardware EngineeringElectronics ManufacturingData Infrastructure
Lead failure analysis and reliability investigations for advanced opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical products used in high-performance telecommunications and data-center environments.
Responsibilities
- Lead multidisciplinary investigations of opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical products, PCB/PCBA assemblies, and complex system integrations.
- Drive debugging and hands-on root-cause analysis for field returns, reliability failures, manufacturing defects, and system-level issues.
- Lead task forces addressing production excursions, failure analysis, and reliability problems.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, signal integrity, thermal, reliability, and manufacturing engineering teams on corrective and preventive actions.
- Perform and lead mechanical simulations to support failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and product optimization.
- Develop failure analysis methodologies, documentation standards, and reliability best practices.
- Present technical findings and recommendations to engineering and management stakeholders.
Requirements
- B.Sc. or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Materials Engineering, or a related field.
- At least 5 years of experience in opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical product development, including PCB or PCBA design.
- Strong knowledge of failure analysis, root-cause investigation, reliability engineering, and physics-of-failure methods.
- Experience debugging complex opto-electro-mechanical systems and identifying thermal, mechanical, assembly, manufacturing, and reliability failure mechanisms.
- Experience leading technical investigations, executing DOE studies, applying 8D methodology, and preparing detailed reports.
- Strong background in mechanical simulation of components and assemblies.
- Hands-on experience with microscopy, X-ray, CT scanning, thermal imaging, strain and stress measurement, and optical laboratory equipment.
- Knowledge of optical manufacturing, inspection methods, optical modules, fiber-optic interconnects, and multidisciplinary system integration.
- Strong 3D CAD experience; Creo knowledge is advantageous.
- Understanding of manufacturability, GD&T, CTF dimensioning, and statistical tolerance analysis.
- Professional verbal and written communication in English and Hebrew.
Nice to have
- Experience developing opto-mechanical telecommunications devices.
- Exposure to heat pipes, vapor chambers, or liquid cooling.
- Experience in high-volume manufacturing focused on reliability, yield improvement, and design for manufacturability.
- Experience with ANSYS Mechanical or similar stress simulation tools.
- Experience working with supply chains, contract manufacturers, consultants, suppliers, and manufacturing partners.
