Summary:

　　Meta’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer. We build world-class VR and AR products that help to connect people worldwide, and we are committed to driving this effort through relentless innovation. Our reliability engineering and failure analysis teams at Meta are focused on new technology, from materials to the product level, and actively participates in the development and design of cutting-edge technologies. Do you want to flourish by pushing the limits to find a solution to complex problems? If so, this would be an exciting opportunity for you to consider.As part of our failure analysis group, you are going to help craft solutions to complex problems. You’ll collaborate with various teams to transform hardware components into an integrated reliable product by pushing the boundaries on what we can do in the realm of AR, VR, and the broader Meta hardware technologies. You will function as a liaison between different groups, develop an understanding of materials by correlating their properties to performance and failures, address failure mechanisms, and suggest possible solutions. You will also be expected to get trained on different instruments, support material characterization studies, develop standard operating protocols, and coordinate the use of multiple instruments. We emphasize a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to solve technical issues and looking for an excellent team player. Description We are looking for an experienced individual who can identify and define the right characterization techniques and execute projects to drive root-cause analysis. The right candidate is willing to get trained and support others to address needs from various projects. This position strongly partners with cross-functional teams within Meta. We are looking for an individual who is a strong team player. He/she must adhere to best-in-class lab practices, maintain an organized and clean laboratory environment, manage sample and instrument inventories, follow all lab health and safety regulations.
