Do you want to be part of the team that brings Surface and Xbox products to market? The Product Engineering team within Microsoft's NPI group is responsible for resolving engineering challenges that enable the successful launch of new, high-volume products.

The NPI Product Engineering team collaborates with hardware development and manufacturing teams throughout the product development cycle. We apply robust root cause techniques to identify the sources of manufacturing-impacting issues and lead corrective action development to resolve production challenges.

Responsibilities

As an NPI Product Engineer, you will design experiments and utilize engineering analysis and statistical methods to characterize failures and propose corrective actions for production. Daily activities will include a mixture of self-led technical investigations, directing activities of contract manufacturing teams, collaboration with engineers across multiple disciplines and locales, and presenting progress and findings to peers and management. Candidates should be relentlessly curious, excellent communicators, and driven to continuously improve upon previous successes.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Hardware Engineering, or related field
  • A minimum of 2 years in an electrical engineering role, preferably contributing to the design or manufacture of consumer electronics products
  • Ability to collaborate effectively within a cross-functional team to meet time, cost, and performance-related objectives
  • Ability to apply engineering theory, statistical analysis, signal analysis techniques, and root cause/corrective action methods to identify and resolve engineering challenges
  • Must be skilled in use of basic test equipment for circuit and signal characterization including oscilloscopes and multimeters
  • Demonstrative experience with advanced test equipment such as protocol/network analyzers, time domain reflectometry, etc.
  • Must display an understanding of microprocessor architectures, including the operation of related subsystems, interfaces, and components
  • Be able to self-manage daily activities, including prioritizing activities and deliverables of a contract manufacturing debug team
  • Ablity to express technical concepts, verbally and written, to peers and management
