The role is part of Apple's Datacenter MLB Reliability Engineering team, focusing on developing reliability strategies for next-generation Data Center motherboards. The individual will work closely with hardware teams to enhance data center infrastructure durability and performance. Key responsibilities include conducting stress testing and physics-of-failure analysis to ensure system-level availability. The position requires a strong analytical background and the ability to communicate complex concepts effectively.

• BS in Materials Science, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field desired with 5+ years of experience.
• Proficiency in statistical life data analysis.
• Strong knowledge of Semiconductor package integration, SLI reliability, passive components, PCB reliability, bonding materials, and warpage control.
• Ability to apply FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) methodologies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• MS or PhD in Reliability Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or an equivalent field.
• Background in reliability for large-die packages, heterogeneous integration, and high-power server motherboards.
• Experience applying reliability modeling (Markov, RBD, Bayesian) and RAS metrics to Data Center architectures.
• Proficiency with reliability software (e.g., Weibull++, BlockSim, JMP, Minitab) and scripting languages for statistical modeling like Python, R, or MATLAB.
• A record of initiating innovation and continuous improvement in reliability methodologies.

• Develop the reliability strategy for next-generation Data Center motherboards.
• Bridge the gap between component-level and package level physics of failures and system-level availability.
• Drive SoC and board integration reliability through rigorous stress testing.
• Utilize advanced statistical modeling to ensure critical modules meet uptime and availability requirements.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

• 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.
