Hardware Reliability Engineer, iPad System Reliability

What you'll do

• Identify high-risk failure modes early in the design process to reduce product risks.
• Create new reliability test procedures based on physics of failure and user behavior.
• Perform statistical data analysis to evaluate designs and provide risk assessments.
• Develop and deliver critical test equipment and specifications for hardware systems.
• Support failure analysis efforts by providing design recommendations based on test data.
• Research new technologies to understand unique failure mechanisms.
• Present test plans, results, and risk assessments to management and executive teams.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or an equivalent field.
• 3+ years of experience in a related field or industry.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability and willingness to travel internationally up to 10% as needed.
• M.S. or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or an equivalent field (preferred).
• Familiarity with Failure Analysis techniques and the ability to use failure analysis methodology to derive a root cause of failure (preferred).
• Statistical experience such as Weibull, JMP, or familiarity with accelerated test models (preferred).
• Solid understanding of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Design of Experiments (DOE) (preferred).
