About the job

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

As a Display Product Failure Analysis (FA) Engineer, you will be responsible for performing failure analysis to identify root causes for failures in microLED display components, circuits, sub-assemblies, and products. You will be using a combination of circuit diagnostics, fault isolation techniques, and material characterization methods to understand the failure mechanisms and identify the root cause of failures in microLED backplanes, drivers, and displays. You will report and share your findings, and collaborate with other teams to improve the product designs and yields.

Google's Raxium display group has established a revolutionary semiconductor materials display technology that enables new functionality in display products, bringing to users a closer and more natural linkage between the digital and physical realms in applications such as augmented reality (AR) and light-field display. With start-up roots and a state-of-the-art compound semiconductor fab in Silicon Valley, Raxium is seeking to build upon its engineering team with an aim to disrupt next-generation display markets.
