Operations Reliability Engineer - Mac

Apple • Cupertino, CA

2d

About The Position

Operations Reliability Engineers guide development and operations teams toward generating reliable designs for Apple's new technology components, modules, and overall products. The role identifies high-risk failure modes early in the design life cycle and uses engineering knowledge to help determine the best mitigation path before ramp. The position contributes to bringing new products to life with reliability that delights customers and reflects Apple's standards.

Requirements

• At least 7 years of experience performing reliability testing, including mechanical stress tests such as shock, drop, and vibration testing, as well as environmental and fatigue testing.
• Experience with failure-analysis analytical and material-characterization techniques, including optical microscopy, X-ray, SEM/EDS, FTIR, and XPS.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, such as Mechanical, Electrical, Reliability, Materials, Optical, Industrial, or a similar field.

Nice To Haves

• Master's or PhD in Engineering, such as Mechanical, Electrical, Reliability, Materials, Optical, Industrial, or a similar field.
• Strong understanding of the physics behind mechanical, electrical, and optical material properties, and ability to use fundamental failure-analysis methodology to determine root causes of failure.
• Knowledge of reliability models, accelerated test models, and industry test standards such as JEDEC, MIL, ASTM, and IEEE.
• Deep understanding of the application of DOE (Design of Experiments) and FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis).
• Strong statistical and data analytics skills, including statistical process control and sampling methods.
• Exceptional problem-solving abilities, strong attention to detail, and ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously.
• Dynamic, can-do attitude and desire to work with a team and product.
• Clear and consistent communication, including executive-level presentation skills and ability to drive cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Guide development and operations teams toward reliable designs for new technology components, modules, and products.
• Identify high-risk failure modes early in the design life cycle.
• Use engineering knowledge to help determine mitigation paths before ramp.
