As a Module Reliability Engineer, you will set test specs and drive procurement / qualification of equipment that is critical to the validation of Design Reliability. You will assess Reliability by executing stress testing and analyzing the resulting data. Finally, you will provide direction for failure analysis in order to develop an understanding of the root cause of a particular failure as well as collaborate with the design team to determine corrective action.
Responsibilities
Drive & update FMEA
Establish specifications for component/module reliability
Set up reliability test infrastructure at Apple suppliers
Perform validation test development
Generate reliability test plans and drive test execution at Apple suppliers
Analyze and summarize reliability data
Drive failure analysis and mitigations
Provide risk assessments
Requirements
A graduate degree in Materials Science, Physics, Engineering or equivalent field with 2+ yrs of experience
Possess extraordinary problem solving abilities
Have experience with the design and manufacture of assemblies that convert digital signals into physical signals (voltage, light, vibration) and vice versa
Are adept in statistical data analysis and are capable of clear reporting
Ability to handle multiple projects at once including running activities remotely at third party vendor sites overseas
Ability to complete tests and resolve problems in an unattended manner
Flexibility to accept new tasks and go beyond one's comfort zone to pursue the solution to new and unexpected problems
