How much do reliability engineering jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 7, 2026, the average yearly pay for reliability engineering in Pennsylvania is $118,256.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $102,700.00 and $129,300.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a reliability engineer?

To thrive as a Reliability Engineer, you need a solid background in engineering principles, data analysis, and problem-solving, often supported by a degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with reliability analysis tools (such as Weibull Analysis, FMEA), statistical software, and certifications like Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) are typically required. Strong communication, attention to detail, and collaborative skills help Reliability Engineers effectively work with cross-functional teams and convey technical findings. These skills and qualifications are crucial for minimizing system failures, optimizing maintenance strategies, and ensuring long-term operational efficiency.

What is reliability engineering?

Reliability engineering is a field of engineering that focuses on ensuring systems, components, or products consistently perform their intended function without failure over a specified period. Reliability engineers analyze data, design tests, and implement processes to improve product durability and reduce the likelihood of failures. Their work often spans across product design, manufacturing, and maintenance to enhance safety, performance, and customer satisfaction.

What is the difference between Reliability Engineering vs Maintenance Engineering?

AspectReliability EngineeringMaintenance Engineering
FocusDesigning systems for reliability and minimizing failuresMaintaining and repairing existing equipment to ensure operational uptime
CertificationsReliability Engineering certifications, Six Sigma, engineering degreesMaintenance certifications, HVAC, electrical, or mechanical licenses
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, project planning, analysis labsOn-site equipment, repair shops, plant floors
Industry UsageManufacturing, aerospace, energy, oil & gasManufacturing, facilities management, utilities

Reliability Engineering focuses on designing and improving systems to prevent failures, while Maintenance Engineering emphasizes repairing and maintaining equipment to ensure continuous operation. Both roles are essential in industries like manufacturing and energy, but they differ in their approach—one is proactive, the other reactive.

How does a reliability engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve system reliability?

Reliability Engineers work closely with design, maintenance, operations, and quality teams to identify potential failure points and implement preventive measures. They often facilitate root-cause analyses after incidents, share findings with relevant departments, and help develop long-term solutions to recurring problems. Collaboration involves regular meetings, data sharing, and coordinating reliability improvement projects to ensure that all teams are aligned in enhancing system performance and reducing downtime.

How much do reliability engineers get paid?

Reliability engineers typically earn a median annual salary ranging from $70,000 to $110,000, depending on experience, industry, and location. Senior roles or those with specialized skills in data analysis, failure modes, and maintenance strategies can command higher salaries, often exceeding $120,000 annually.

What does a reliability engineer do?

A reliability engineer focuses on ensuring that systems, equipment, or products perform consistently and without failure over time. They analyze failure data, develop maintenance strategies, and implement testing procedures to improve reliability, often using tools like FMEA and root cause analysis. This role typically requires strong problem-solving skills and knowledge of engineering principles.

Job description

What we are looking for

Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all.

We're searching for a Staff Hardware Reliability Engineer. The Hardware Reliability team is dedicated to ensuring the robustness and dependability of hardware systems in the Aurora hardware stack. Our team is responsible for designing tests, and validating the hardware components that form the backbone of Aurora's autonomous systems, ensuring they meet the highest Automotive standards of performance and durability under our tough field conditions.

In this role you will

  • Lead and oversee hardware reliability testing and validation for automotive power and compute hardware used in autonomous vehicles.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical, firmware, mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams, to ensure overall system reliability.
  • Develop, implement, and monitor reliability testing protocols, including stress tests, environmental tests, and failure mode analysis.
  • Analyze failure data to identify root causes of hardware reliability issues and implement corrective actions.
  • Create detailed reports on reliability testing, findings, and corrective actions and present them to stakeholders to drive decisions around hardware improvements and risk.
  • Drive continuous improvement in hardware design and development processes to meet automotive reliability standards.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to reliability engineers, helping drive adoption of reliability best practices across teams.

Required qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred), Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven experience (5+ years) in hardware reliability engineering, preferably in the automotive, aerospace, or heavy-duty vehicle industry.
  • Strong understanding of hardware design principles, reliability testing methodologies (e.g., HALT/HASS, vibration, thermal cycling, humidity), and failure analysis techniques.
  • Experience working with firmware development teams and a solid understanding of firmware and hardware interactions.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead root cause analysis and corrective action processes (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone) for hardware reliability issues.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Proficiency in data analysis tools and software (e.g., Python, JMP...) and familiarity with reliability prediction and assurance tools and methods (e.g., Weibull++, dFMEA)
  • Experience with hardware requirement concepts

Desirable qualifications

  • Knowledge of automotive safety standards and regulations (e.g., ISO 26262, ISO 16750)
  • Experience with automotive electronics/ECU or compute hardware (thermal, power, connector reliability)
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers or Tier-1 suppliers on quality/reliability issues (PPAP, supplier corrective actions)
  • Prior experience mentoring engineers or driving reliability process adoption across teams
  • Test automation and infrastructure knowledge 

The base salary range for this position is $163,000 - $236,000 per year. Aurora's pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.
