Do you ever wonder what goes into making Apple products an amazing user experience? The engineers on Apple's innovative reliability team are responsible for insuring that our products exceed our customer's expectations for robustness, durability, and reliability. We are looking for talented contributors who enjoy working on revolutionary products and aspiring to make them better through creation and execution of comprehensive test suites, identification of potential failure modes, and collaboration with design teams to drive product improvements.
Description
The position is on Apple's innovative Mac Reliability Engineering team, where we collaborate with hardware development and Silicon packaging. The engineer will be responsible for leading board level reliability on new Mac portables, development of new test procedures to quantify the reliability of a design, and failure analysis resulting from these tests.","responsibilities":"Preparing concise and detailed test plans and test reports
Statistical data analysis to provide risk assessments of a design
Researching a technology to determine possible failure modes
Prioritizing and completing tasks to meet deadlines
Providing design input to improve product reliability when necessary
Interacting with a wide variety of individuals and teams to communicate results
Preferred Qualifications
Application of DOE (design of Experiments)
Failure Analysis analytical techniques (Optical Microscopy, X-Ray, CSAM, SEM/EDS, FTIR, XPS etc)
Knowledge of industry test Standards (JEDEC, ASTM, IEEE)
Exceptional problem solving abilities, written and verbal communication skills and strong attention to detail
Ability to manage multiple projects at the same time
Dynamic and "can do" attitude with a desire to work with a great team and product
Ability to travel internationally without restrictions
Minimum Qualifications
MS in Materials Science, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field with 2+ years of relevant engineering experience
Experience performing board level reliability testing including Mechanical Stress Tests, Shock/Drop/Vibration Testing, Environmental Testing
Ability to use fundamental failure analysis methodology to derive root cause of failures, knowledge of failure modes and statistical life data analysis using curve fitting and distributions models
Knowledge of board level design, DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and reliability best practices to guide component selection and placement in early architecture
Strong knowledge of Semiconductor package integration, SLI (Second Level Interconnect) reliability, passive components reliability, bonding materials and warpage control
Ability to apply FMEA (Failure Modes an Effects Analysis) methodologies
