Descripción del empleo

How You'll Help Us Connect the World:

As a Reliability Engineering Manager, you will lead the reliability strategy and validation of cable assemblies powering next-generation AI hardware systems. You will partner with design, manufacturing, and supplier teams to ensure our high‑speed interconnect solutions meet the most demanding requirements of hyperscale datacenters — from early design through large‑scale deployment.

You Will Make an Impact By:

• Defining and owning reliability requirements and strategies for cable assemblies used in AI infrastructure, including rack‑level and system‑level interconnects.
• Establishing mission profiles covering temperature, vibration, airflow, insertion cycles, bend radius, and field service conditions.
• Partnering with design teams to drive signal integrity over life — insertion loss, return loss, crosstalk, BER degradation — and mechanical robustness of cable assemblies.
• Developing and executing qualification test plans including thermal cycling, THB, vibration, flex, ALT, and connector mating durability.
• Leading complex electrical‑mechanical failure analysis (intermittent opens, fretting, plating wear, termination failures) using TDR, X‑ray, micro‑sectioning, and SEM.
• Applying structured root cause methodologies (8D, 5Why, Fishbone) and driving CAPA with verified effectiveness.
• Building life and reliability models (Weibull, Arrhenius, Coffin‑Manson, Miner's Rule) and correlating accelerated test results with field data.
• Analyzing FRACAS, RMA, and deployment data to identify systemic risks across large‑scale AI infrastructure.
• Partnering with manufacturing and suppliers to define process controls, screening strategies, and reliability impact of ECO/ECN changes.
• Mentoring junior engineers and authoring reliability reports and launch readiness documentation for executive and customer review.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred).
• 7+ years of experience in reliability engineering, validation, or failure analysis for cable assemblies, connectors, or high‑speed interconnects.
• Strong understanding of high‑speed electrical performance and how it degrades over time and stress.
• Hands‑on experience with mechanical and environmental testing of cable assemblies.
• Proven experience diagnosing intermittent and mixed electrical‑mechanical failures.
• Proficiency with reliability statistics and life data analysis (Weibull, ALT correlation).
• Strong cross‑functional communication and technical leadership skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI datacenter or hyperscale infrastructure environments.
• Familiarity with high‑speed copper and hybrid cable technologies (DAC, AOC, internal high‑speed harnesses).
• Working knowledge of SI/PI concepts — eye margin, BER, impedance control — as they relate to reliability.
• Familiarity with relevant standards such as IPC, IEC, Telcordia, or MIL‑STD.
• Experience supporting high‑volume manufacturing and deployment at scale.
