Job summary

Intel is seeking an experienced Reliability Engineer to define and own pod-level reliability specifications for a large-scale AI hardware data center. You will drive RAS-focused design targets across compute, memory, storage, network, and power subsystems.

You will lead FMEA, root-cause analysis, and telemetry-driven improvements, partnering with facilities on N+1 redundancy and disaster recovery. This on-site role at multiple US locations emphasizes data-driven reliability across silicon and

Qualifications

• Minimum: BS/MS/PhD in EE/ME Reliability or related; 4–6 yrs experience.
• Experience authoring and owning reliability specs and requirement flow-down.
• Strong RAS, FMEA, statistical reliability (Weibull, FIT) skills.
• Experience with large-scale fleet telemetry and thermal/power redundancy.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain pod-level reliability/availability specs and targets (MTBF, AFR, RAS) for compute, memory, storage, network, power, and cooling subsystems.
• Translate system/SLA requirements into pod and subsystem level reliability specs; flow requirements down to silicon, platform, and facilities teams.
• Lead FMEA, root-cause analysis, and pod fleet failure-data analytics to drive corrective actions and spec updates.
• Architect RAS features (ECC, memory mirroring, predictive failure, telemetry) and graceful degradation/redundancy against pod-level specs.
• Partner with facilities on pod power/cooling redundancy (N+1, 2N), thermal margins, and disaster-recovery readiness.
• Establish HALT/HASS, burn-in, qualification processes; track field returns and KPIs against pod spec.
