The Battery Reliability Engineer will play a crucial role in ensuring the dependability of Apple's battery technology. This position involves collaborating with design teams to identify potential failure modes and develop robust solutions before production. The engineer will utilize physics-of-failure principles to pioneer new stress testing methodologies. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of scientific rigor and real-world product impact.

• Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline such as Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry with 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Strong foundational knowledge of the physics governing material and device behavior across mechanical, electrical, and chemical domains.
• Demonstrated hands-on laboratory experience with a track record of systematically uncovering failure root causes.
• Proficiency in statistical data analysis with the ability to distill complex findings into clear, actionable insights.
• Ability to travel internationally without restriction (up to 10%).
• M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or an equivalent discipline.
• 5+ years of engineering experience in reliability, failure analysis, or related fields.

• Identify high-risk failure modes early in the product development lifecycle.
• Drive design teams toward robust and reliable solutions before battery production.
• Pioneer new stress conditions grounded in physics-of-failure principles.
• Translate insights into the equipment infrastructure and specifications needed to validate product reliability at scale.
• Synthesize data from multiple sources to identify root causes and champion corrective actions.

• Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
