Job description

Are you passionate about the development, characterization, and failure analysis of innovative materials? Do you ever wonder what goes into creating amazing Apple product user experiences? The engineers in Apple's Materials Reliability Group assess material-level reliability risks and have an influential role in guiding materials and finishes toward reliable designs for new product development. Through deep investigation and collaboration, we strive to create a customer experience of enduring product quality. We are looking for an experienced individual who is passionate about: understanding how materials fail, driving test development to characterize failure risk, diving into failure root cause analysis, and advocating for material reliability improvements. Come join our team!
Description
As a Materials Reliability Engineer, you will assess material-level reliability risks of new product designs; and work with materials engineering and process teams to perform failure analysis, and to push for design and process mitigations and controls.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's Degree in technical field (Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, etc) with 3+ years of industry experience
Understanding of how material properties, processing, and structure impact product performance. Our team works on a range of materials. An expertise in a particular material area is not required, as long as you are able to dive deep into learning about a new material space quickly
Experience working in, or collaborating with, a lab environment with a focus on understanding root cause of material failures
Experience using statistical data analysis, and the ability to communicate results from analyses clearly
Ability to identify failure root cause and potential corrective actions, utilizing results from multiple data sources
Ability to travel internationally without restriction as needed (less than 20% of the year)
Preferred Qualifications
M.S. or PhD in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering
Familiarity with failure characterizations techniques (Optical Microscopy, X-ray/CT, Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, etc.), and the ability to use failure analysis methodology to derive failure root cause
Experience with Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) and reliability prediction modeling
Experience with statistical tools such as Weibull, JMP, or familiarity with accelerated test models
Familiarity with one of the following material types: anodized aluminum, titanium, precision glass, PVD coatings, optical materials
Interest in developing new tests and methodologies for replicating and validating complex failure modes
Collaborative approach to working with other teams
