Description

We're seeking a self-driven, energetic individual to join the Failure Analysis Team in Bangalore. The team is responsible for root cause failure analysis across all Apple Hardware products and advanced material characterisation for guiding design and process changes.

Responsibilities

• In this job role, you will be responsible for performing hands-on failure analysis and in-depth characterisation of materials using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Focussed Ion Beam (FIB) and other analytical techniques to drive root cause analysis.
• You will be responsible to develop innovative methods / techniques to aid failure analysis, improve turn around time and ensure equipment utilisation and uptimes.
• Additionally, you will be responsible to communicating results to cross functional teams and collaborating with them to drive corrective actions.
You will be responsible in providing technical updates to upper management.

Minimum Qualifications

• Masters degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in materials characterization (ceramic, metal, polymer, composites) or failure analysis.
• 2+ years of hands on experience in operating Focussed Ion Beam (FIB), Scanning Electron Microscopy) and Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD).
