The Organization:
Microsoft Experiences & Devices Group is driving the development of new hardware solutions such as Xbox, Surface & HoloLens that are bringing new and exciting experiences to the user. The Device Quality’s Device Analysis & Engineering (DAE) organization is supporting this objective by providing effective Electrical Failure Analysis solutions that improve customer experience and drive improvements back into the product development process. Our mission is to leverage applied science and critical thinking to influence change from electrical debug during technology selection through in-depth failure analysis for complex time sensitive issues.
The Position:
The main role of the position is to drive the failure analysis performed by our repair vendor, and ensure it is accurately recorded in the Microsoft system. This position involves the debug of hardware and software failures across the product lines and ensuring results are well documented with the findings. The role also includes the development of debug techniques and sharing knowledge and experience to understand the failure modes in the products. Therefore, the candidate must be able to demonstrate a strong technical knowledge in failure debugging and fault isolation techniques. The candidate also needs to have good interpersonal skills as they are expected to work with different functional teams, both across the Microsoft organization and our vendors to present and explain the failure analysis done as well as providing technical training.
