Apple Inc.
Cupertino, California, United States Hardware
Description
As a Battery Reliability Engineer, you will identify high risk failure modes early in the design life cycle, and collaborate with design engineering teams to reduce the risk. You will develop new stress conditions based on the physics of failure and expected user behaviors, and implement the necessary equipment and specifications that are critical to validate product reliability. You will assess customer-facing reliability through stress test data analysis, and work with vendors to meet reliability requirements. Finally, you will support failure analysis, providing design direction based on your evaluation of the test data and failure root cause understanding. To be successful in this role, your ability to establish and maintain interdepartmental relationship is critical. Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in a technical field (engineering, physics, chemistry, etc.) 3+ years of industry experience in an engineering role Deep understanding of the physics behind material and device properties (mechanical, electrical, chemical) Experience working in a lab environment with focus on understanding the root cause of failures Proficiency in statistical data analysis and the ability to communicate your results clearly to others Ability to identify root cause and recommend corrective actions based on results from multiple data sources Collaborative attitude and ability to effectively work cross-functionally Ability to travel internationally without restriction Preferred Qualifications
M.S. or PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or an equivalent field 5+ years of experience in an engineering role Familiarity with electrochemistry and battery technology Experience with statistical data analysis tools such as JMP or Weibull++ Experience with Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) and reliability prediction modeling Familiarity with failure analysis and materials characterization techniques (microscopy, spectroscopy, etc.) and the ability to use these tools to determine the root cause of failures At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $147,400 and $272,100, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards, and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You’ll also receive benefits including: Comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and for formal education related to advancing your career at Apple, reimbursement for certain educational expenses — including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation. Learn more about Apple Benefits.
Note: Apple benefit, compensation and employee stock programs are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms of the applicable plan or program. Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We seek to promote equal opportunity for all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.
