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.

Experiencia y requisitos

- 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:

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