Hardware Reliability Engineer, Mac System Reliability

What you'll do

• Identify high-risk failure modes early in the design process to mitigate risks.
• Create new reliability tests based on the physics of failure and anticipated user behavior.
• Translate product usage patterns into controlled laboratory tests.
• Develop and deliver critical test equipment and specifications while coordinating with vendors.
• Support failure analysis efforts and provide design recommendations based on test data.
• Perform statistical data analysis to provide design risk assessments and guide product improvements.
• Conduct physical failure analysis using techniques such as SEM, EDX, and X-Ray.
• Coordinate timely design validation efforts through multiple design iterations.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s Degree in a technical field such as mechanical, materials, electrical engineering, physics, or related fields.
• 7+ years of industry experience.
• Deep understanding of material and device properties (mechanical, electrical, optical, thermal) and underlying physics.
• Proficiency in statistical data analysis, reporting, and providing design risk assessments.
• Strong theoretical knowledge in physical failure analysis techniques such as SEM/EDX/X-Ray.
• Ability to develop new reliability test procedures, create detailed test plans, and analyze results.
• M.S. or PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent field (preferred).
• Statistical experience such as Weibull, JMP, or familiarity with accelerated test models (preferred).
