Data Center MLB Reliability Engineer

At Apple we dont just follow industry standardswe define them. We value creative problem-solving and the ability to adapt to new technical this role you will collaborate with diverse hardware teams to ensure our data center infrastructure is not only durable but built to exceed expectations. From early concepts to field optimization you will drive innovative reliability strategies and continuous improvement to shape the future of the critical systems powering our global services.

The position is on Apples innovative Datacenter MLB Reliability Engineering team wherein we are seeking a highly analytical individual to develop the reliability strategy for our next-generation Data Center this role you will bridge the gap between component-level and package level physics of failures and system-level availability. You will drive SoC and board integration reliability through rigorous stress testing and physics-of-failure analysis utilizing advanced statistical modeling to ensure these critical modules meet the uptime and availability requirements of a high-demand data center environment

Lead the board-level reliability strategy for high-performance computing (HPC) motherboards and server Design and Process FMEA to identify categorize and eliminate failure modes early in the design physics-of-failure principles to analyze semiconductor packages Second Level Interconnects (SLI) and PCB advanced reliability models such as Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) Markov Chains and Bayesian analysis to quantify board-level risk and its contribution to overall system Reliability Availability and Serviceability (RAS) metrics for large-scale data center deployments into actionable board-level design targets and validation and execute comprehensive test plans including Mechanical Stress Environmental Testing and Accelerated Life Testing (ALT).nDrive rigorous Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and perform statistical analysis to assess design with cross-functional teams to translate system-level availability requirements into component specifications.
