Apple is seeking a Reliability Engineer to join our Mac Hardware Reliability team! \\nIn this role, you’ll collaborate with diverse hardware teams to ensure our products are not only durable and reliable, but also built to exceed expectations. From early concepts to field returns, you’ll lead cross-functional teams, design innovative reliability tests, and drive continuous product improvements. \\n\\nAt Apple, we don’t just follow industry standards—we push beyond them. We value creative problem-solving, dynamic thinking, and the ability to quickly adapt to new technical challenges. If you’re excited about tackling tough problems and shaping the future of amazing products, we’d love to have you on board!
As a System Reliability Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping our products, ensuring longevity by design. You will be responsible for characterizing product usage patterns, translating them into controlled lab tests, and coordinating timely design validation efforts. With these results, you will collaborate through design iterations ensuring our products meet high standards for customer experience.\\n\\nYou bring exceptional problem-solving skills and technical expertise,"including":\\nA deep understanding of material and device properties (mechanical, electrical, optical, thermal) and the underlying physics\\nProficiency in statistical data analysis and clear reporting, providing design risk assessments and guiding product improvements\\nStrong theoretical knowledge in physical failure analysis techniques, such as SEM/EDX/X-Ray and other characterization techniques \\nProven ability to develop new reliability test procedures, create detailed test plans, and analyze results to assess design risks\\n\\n
Identifying high-risk failure modes early in the design process and working closely with design engineering teams to mitigate risks.\\nCreate new reliability tests based on the physics of failure and anticipated user behavior and deployment environment, ensuring our systems meet the highest standards.\\nDevelop and deliver critical test equipment and specifications, and collaborate with vendors to meet testing deadlines.\\nSupport failure analysis efforts, offering design recommendations based on your evaluation of test data to drive continuous product improvements.\\n
Bachelor’s Degree in technical field ( mechanical engineering, materials engineering, electrical engineering, physics or related fields) with 3+ years of industry experience\\nGood written and verbal English communication skills. Ability to effectively communicate through email, WebEx, and phone\\nAbility to make clear and concise slides and presentations through keynote, excel, etc.\\nStrong attention to detail and curiosity of how technologies work\\nAble to use basic productivity apps such as email, web browser, calendar, WebEx/Zoom, spreadsheet, keynote/ppt, etc.\\n
M.S. or PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent field\\nStatistical experience such as Weibull, JMP, or familiarity with accelerated test models\\nFamiliar with Failure Analysis techniques (Optical Microscopy, X-ray/CT, Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, etc.), and the ability to use failure analysis methodology to derive a root cause of failure\\nCollaborative attitude and ability to cross-functionally work effectively\\nAbility to travel internationally without restriction (up to 10%)
