Reliability Engineer

Job Description

Join us to help build the next generation of AI hardware solutions. You will be part of a highly skilled, agile team developing cutting‑edge hardware for the AI domain, where we push the boundaries of what silicon can do for emerging AI workloads. With a startup‑like culture, we move quickly and give engineers the opportunity to drive significant technical and business impact.

We are continuously developing modern and effective working methods, including hands‑on adoption of AI tools throughout the chip development flow.

Define and own the pod‑level reliability specifications that ensure the availability, resilience, and serviceability of a large‑scale data center across hardware, thermal, and operational dimensions.

• 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

Minimum Qualifications:

BS/MS/PhD in EE/ME Reliability or related; and/or at least 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.

• AI cluster operations
• Data analytics (Python/SQL)
