## Description

We are looking for a Senior Opto-Mechanical Failure Analysis expert to join our mechanical engineering department as a key player in the development of next generation high-performance Telecommunication solutions for data centers.

This key position includes close interaction with HW, NPI, Thermal, Layout, Quality and Supply chain teams.

As a Senior Opto-Mechanical Failure Analysis Engineer, you will lead multidisciplinary investigations for advanced opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical products, including PCB/PCBA assemblies and complex system integrations.

Your responsibilities will include driving debug activities, performing hands-on root cause analysis on field returns, reliability failures, manufacturing defects, and system-level issues using analytical and laboratory techniques.

You will also work closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Signal Integrity, Thermal, Reliability, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to identify corrective and preventive actions.

In addition, you will perform and drive mechanical simulations of components and assemblies to support failure analysis, root cause investigations, and product design optimization.

Develop failure analysis methodologies, documentation standards, and best practices to improve product robustness and reliability.

Present technical findings and recommendations to cross-functional engineering and management teams.

Requirements:

- B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or higher, with 5+ years of experience in opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical product development, including PCB/PCBA design.

- Strong understanding of failure analysis methodologies, root cause investigation, reliability engineering principles, and physics-of-failure analysis.

- Hands-on experience debugging complex opto-electro-mechanical systems and identifying thermal, mechanical, assembly, manufacturing, and reliability-related failure mechanisms.

- Experience leading complex technical investigations, including DOE execution, 8D methodology, and preparation of detailed investigation and failure analysis reports.

- Strong background in mechanical simulations for components and assemblies as part of product design and failure analysis activities.

- Hands-on experience with laboratory and analytical tools such as microscopy, X-ray, CT scanning, thermal imaging, strain/stress measurements, and optical lab equipment in clean room environments.

- Knowledge of optical manufacturing processes, inspection methods, optical modules, fiber-optic interconnects, and multidisciplinary system integration.

- Excellent hands-on experience with 3D CAD tools; Creo is an advantage.

- Self-motivated team player with strong verbal and written communication skills in both English and Hebrew.
