How much do process reliability engineer jobs pay per hour?

As of Jun 7, 2026, the average hourly pay for process reliability engineer in the United States is $63.74, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $54.81 and $72.84 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are some common challenges faced by Process Reliability Engineers in manufacturing settings?

Process Reliability Engineers often encounter challenges such as diagnosing recurring equipment failures, balancing long-term reliability with immediate production goals, and implementing improvements without disrupting operations. They must collaborate closely with maintenance, operations, and engineering teams to analyze data, conduct root cause analyses, and develop preventive strategies. Navigating the complexities of legacy systems and integrating new technologies can also require adaptability and strong problem-solving skills.

What is the difference between Process Reliability Engineer vs Process Engineer?

AspectProcess Reliability EngineerProcess Engineer
CredentialsEngineering degree, certifications in reliability or maintenanceEngineering degree, process optimization certifications
Work EnvironmentFocus on maintenance, reliability, and system uptime in manufacturing or industrial settingsDesign, develop, and optimize manufacturing processes
Industry UsageCommon in industries emphasizing system reliability and maintenanceWidespread across manufacturing, chemical, and production sectors

The Process Reliability Engineer primarily focuses on ensuring equipment and systems operate reliably, minimizing downtime. In contrast, the Process Engineer concentrates on designing and improving manufacturing processes for efficiency. Both roles require engineering backgrounds but differ in their core responsibilities and focus areas.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Process Reliability Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Process Reliability Engineer, you need a solid background in engineering principles, statistical analysis, and process optimization, usually supported by a degree in chemical, mechanical, or industrial engineering. Familiarity with reliability modeling software, root cause analysis tools, and methodologies such as Six Sigma or Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is typically required, and certifications like Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) are advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are vital soft skills for collaborating with cross-functional teams and driving improvements. These competencies ensure the consistent performance, safety, and efficiency of manufacturing or production systems, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational reliability.

What does a Process Reliability Engineer do?

A Process Reliability Engineer is responsible for improving and maintaining the reliability and efficiency of manufacturing processes. They analyze equipment performance, identify areas for improvement, and implement strategies to reduce downtime and increase productivity. Their work often involves collaborating with maintenance, production, and engineering teams to develop solutions that enhance process stability and product quality. Additionally, they may use data analysis and predictive maintenance techniques to prevent failures and optimize operations.

Job description

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over three decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI - the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a "learning machine" that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities which are hard to solve, which only we can pursue, and which matter to the world. This is our life's work: to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today. We are seeking an outstanding candidate for Silicon Reliability Engineer who will serve as the foundry process reliability professional for NVIDIA in utilizing cutting edge technologies to deliver high performance products while ensuring world class reliability.

What you will be doing:

  • Work closely with wafer foundries and various functional groups such as Design, Advanced Technology Group and Operations to develop process reliability requirements for new technology nodes.

  • Drive foundries for NVIDIA's test vehicle qualifications and process reliability improvement before taping out new products and support product bring-ups and quals.

  • Perform wearout reliability assessments and provide reliability guidance to design teams for Design for Reliability on the next generation products.

  • Provide reliability Vmax, aging guardband guidelines to product teams and develop reliability methodology to optimize product reliability performance.

  • Collaborate with foundries to plan and perform stress tests and build reliability models for extrinsic failure mechanisms.

  • Interact with foundries for excursion materials and assess a reliability risk for disposition.

What we need to see:

  • Deep understanding of cutting-edge semiconductor process technologies, reliability physics, and acceleration models.

  • Familiar with wearout failure mechanisms (TDDB, BTI, HCI, EM, SM) and models, wafer level reliability tests, test structures, and industry standards (JEDEC, AEC).

  • Proficient in reliability statistics, and hands on experience in failure rate calculations for early life, useful life and wearout period of reliability life curve.

  • Good knowledge of semiconductor process defects/root causes, failure analysis and defect screening methodologies.

  • Solid understanding in reliability degradation mechanisms in logic and memory circuits.

  • Hands on skills in reliability data analysis, particularly using statistical tools such as JMP.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication, and presentation skills.

  • PhD or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related major (or equivalent experience).

  • 5+ years of overall experience in semiconductor reliability.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers; we have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unparalleled growth, best-in-class teams are rapidly growing. If you're creative and autonomous with a real passion for your work, we want to hear from you!

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until May 25, 2026.
