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. #J-18808-Ljbffr
