We are Apple’s Hardware Reliability Engineering team, and we are looking for you to work with our diverse iOS hardware engineering teams. As the Reliability team, we are responsible for ensuring and improving the durability and reliability of Apple’s products. To achieve that, we partner with multiple engineering teams from the beginning (concept) to the end (field returns) of a product lifecycle by helping to explore new technologies and understand how customers will use our products.

If you have a passion for constant learning and innovative engineering products, you will fit right in. You will develop and implement creative reliability tests on new hardware programs, quantify reliability risk, support failure analysis resulting from these tests, and advise the executive team on the best path forward.

Come join our team!

As a Hardware Reliability Engineer, you will be responsible for doing the following:
– Developing new reliability tests procedures and specifications
– Preparing concise and detailed test plans and analyzing test reports
– Statistically analyzing data to provide design risk assessments
– Presenting tests, test results, and risk assessments in a confident and positive manner to the cross-functional and leadership teams
– Researching new technologies to understand unique failure mechanisms
– Guiding design and interacting with diverse groups to improve product reliability
– Investigating failures during reliability testing to determine root cause and drive mitigations
