How much do remote hardware reliability engineer jobs pay per year?

As of May 31, 2026, the average yearly pay for remote hardware reliability engineer in the United States is $117,973.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $102,500.00 and $129,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

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

To thrive as a Remote Hardware Reliability Engineer, you typically need a degree in electrical or mechanical engineering, strong analytical skills, and experience with hardware testing and failure analysis. Familiarity with reliability testing tools like HALT/HASS, statistical analysis software, and reliability modeling systems is important, along with certifications such as CRE (Certified Reliability Engineer). Outstanding problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective remote communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating with global teams and addressing issues proactively. These competencies ensure the development and maintenance of robust, reliable hardware products, minimizing failures and optimizing performance in diverse environments.

How does a Remote Hardware Reliability Engineer collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams while working offsite?

As a Remote Hardware Reliability Engineer, effective collaboration with cross-functional teams—such as design, manufacturing, and quality assurance—is typically achieved through regular virtual meetings, collaborative platforms, and detailed documentation. You’ll often participate in remote design reviews, data analysis sessions, and troubleshooting calls to address reliability concerns. Clear communication and proactive project updates are essential to ensure everyone is aligned, especially when working across different time zones or locations. Building strong relationships with team members via consistent online interaction helps maintain project momentum and ensures reliability standards are met.

What is a Remote Hardware Reliability Engineer?

A Remote Hardware Reliability Engineer is a professional who assesses, tests, and improves the reliability and durability of hardware components and systems, all while working remotely. They analyze failure data, design tests, and recommend modifications to ensure products meet quality and performance standards. This role often involves collaborating with engineering teams using digital communication tools, running simulations, and reviewing data to prevent future hardware failures. By working remotely, these engineers can support projects from anywhere, offering flexibility while maintaining high standards for hardware reliability.

What is the difference between Remote Hardware Reliability Engineer vs Remote Hardware Test Engineer?

AspectRemote Hardware Reliability EngineerRemote Hardware Test Engineer
CredentialsEngineering degree, certifications in reliability or hardware engineeringEngineering degree, certifications in testing or quality assurance
Work EnvironmentDesigning reliability strategies, analyzing failure data, improving hardware durabilityDeveloping and executing testing procedures, validating hardware performance
Industry UsageManufacturers, tech companies, aerospace, automotiveManufacturers, consumer electronics, hardware development firms

While both roles focus on hardware, the Remote Hardware Reliability Engineer emphasizes ensuring long-term durability and reliability through analysis and design improvements. In contrast, the Remote Hardware Test Engineer concentrates on testing hardware components to verify performance and quality before deployment.

Job description

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver-The World's Most Experienced Driver-to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo's fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

Hardware Engineering is a diverse, innovative, and collaborative group of electrical, mechanical, reliability, software and vehicle engineers. We design, build, and perfect the products which are the eyes and ears of Waymo's autonomous driving technology, and integrate those products into vehicle platforms. We're seeking curious and talented teammates to keep us moving in the right direction.

This role follows a hybrid work schedule and you will report to a Technical Lead.

You will:

  • Perform Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to identify hardware reliability risks early
  • Define reliability requirements and environmental specifications to create comprehensive test plans
  • Independently develop and execute reliability experiments and custom test setups
  • Lead failure analysis and corrective actions to determine root causes for hardware issues
  • Manage technical relationships with vendors and suppliers to execute reliability testing and validation
  • Maintain failure rate models and deliver field reliability reports to communicate technical risks

You have:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Material Science, or Physics
  • 5+ years of experience in reliability and quality analysis, including FMEA, Weibull analysis, and SPC
  • 5+ years of experience with data analysis and reporting tools such as Python, SQL, JMP, or Tableau
  • Experience independently developing reliability test plans, executing experiments, and performing failure analysis
  • Knowledge of the mechanics of materials and physics of failure for electronics and sensors
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams to resolve complex hardware reliability and quality issues

We prefer:

  • Experience in automotive or autonomous vehicle reliability testing and standards
  • Product development and launch experience across 2-3 independent product categories
  • High-volume manufacturing reliability experience, like ORT
  • Masters Degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or Engineering
  • 5-10 years of product design, reliability, and quality experience
  • Prior experience managing vendors and suppliers for electronic components

Occasional travel (1-2 times a quarter) both domestically and internationally

The expected base salary range for this full-time position across US locations is listed below. Actual starting pay will be based on job-related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for the role location or, if the role can be performed remote, the specific salary range for your preferred location, during the hiring process.

Waymo employees are also eligible to participate in Waymo's discretionary annual bonus program, equity incentive plan, and generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements.
