Apple • Austin, TX

8d

About The Position

The position is on Apple’s innovative Datacenter MLB Reliability Engineering team, wherein we are seeking a highly analytical individual to develop the reliability strategy for our next-generation Data Center motherboards. In this role, you will bridge the gap between component-level and package level physics of failures and system-level availability. You will drive SoC and board integration reliability through rigorous stress testing and physics-of-failure analysis, utilizing advanced statistical modeling to ensure these critical modules meet the uptime and availability requirements of a high-demand data center environment.

Requirements

• BS in Materials Science, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field desired.
• 5+ years of experience.
• Proficiency in statistical life data analysis.
• Strong knowledge of Semiconductor package integration, SLI reliability, passive components, PCB reliability, bonding materials, and warpage control.
• Ability to apply FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) methodologies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex statistical concepts to non-experts.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

Nice To Haves

• MS or PhD in Reliability Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or an equivalent field.
• Background in reliability for large-die packages, heterogeneous integration, and high-power server motherboards.
• Experience applying reliability modeling (Markov, RBD, Bayesian) and RAS metrics to Data Center architectures.
• Proficiency with reliability software (e.g., Weibull++, BlockSim, JMP, Minitab) and scripting languages for statistical modeling like Python, R, or MATLAB.
• A record of initiating innovation and continuous improvement in reliability methodologies.
• Dynamic and "can-do" attitude with a desire to work with a great team and product.
• Exceptional problem-solving abilities and strong attention to detail.

Responsibilities

• Develop the reliability strategy for next-generation Data Center motherboards.
• Bridge the gap between component-level and package level physics of failures and system-level availability.
• Drive SoC and board integration reliability through rigorous stress testing and physics-of-failure analysis.
