Job Details

Reliability Engineer (Logic Board Failures)

We are seeking a Reliability Engineer with deep electrical engineering expertise and board-level hardware knowledge. In this role, you will support PCB-level validation, reliability testing, and electrical failure analysis for complex hardware systems. You’ll collaborate closely with design, reliability, and test teams to improve board durability, ensure robust system integration, and identify failure mechanisms across hardware builds.

 Responsibilities

 • Design and validate Logic Boards, PCB boards for electrical reliability and performance

 • Lead detailed failure analysis and debug of board-level issues across multiple systems

 • Develop and execute board-level reliability and qualification test strategies

 • ability to review schematics and PCB layouts; recommend design changes for reliability improvements

 • Troubleshoot electrical circuits and high-speed signal interfaces

 • Contribute to hardware bring-up and integration efforts

 • Document findings and collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve issues

 Required Skills & Experience

 • 3–6 years of experience in board-level hardware validation and reliability

 • Strong background in Electrical Engineering; MS/PhD preferred

 • Hands-on experience with PCB design and debug

 • Familiarity with high-speed buses (e.g. USB, PCIe, I2C), signal integrity, and semiconductor packaging

 • Expertise in failure analysis methods, including microscopy and diagnostic tools

 • Knowledge in consumer electronics, data center hardware, or high-reliability environments

 • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and team collaboration skills

 

Education

BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field (MS/PhD preferred)

 

Type: Full-Time

Location: Remote (PST or CST time zones preferrable)

Pay Rate Range: $60-75/h (DOE)
