About the job
A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.
Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone.
As a Field Reliability Technical Program Manager, you will work closely with data center design and engineering experts to align our cross-functional reliability methodology, and supplier quality managers to establish manufacturing process control plans to ensure that the highest level of quality and reliability is consistently delivered. You will collaborate with global commodity managers to connect field performance measurement back to manufacturers that can relate to their field performance systems, Data Center Operations teams to provide scalable data collection requirements and Business Information Technology and Solutions teams to incorporate use cases into BRD's for project life cycle management, project management tracking and enterprise resource planning systems.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.US: $192000 - $278000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities
- Work with cross functional stakeholders to establish the roadmap for and subsequent execution of field reliability practices for key electrical, controls and power distribution systems in our data center infrastructure portfolio to enable consistent feedback to design, supply chain, construction and operations, increase fleet predictability/performance and excellent Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
- Provide feedback to engineering on equipment reliability performance to factor into future design expectations (Design for Reliability).
- Review global equipment field reliability performance and its Cost of Poor Quality (CoPQ) impact, identify and address systemic issues based on lessons learned during Data Center construction, commissioning and operation.
- Investigate early life failures, recurring reliability issues of field equipment and closing the loop to improve supplier reliability performance.
- Health, dental, vision, life, disability insurance

Tips for Your Electrical Reliability Engineer Job Search
Quantify your reliability improvement results
Hiring managers want to see outcomes, not just duties. Replace vague bullet points with metrics like mean time between failures improved, downtime hours reduced, or maintenance costs cut on specific assets or systems you worked on.
Highlight certifications relevant to reliability engineering
Certifications like Certified Reliability Engineer or Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional signal technical depth. List them prominently on your resume, especially when applying to utilities or heavy-industry employers who screen for them before interviews.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists electrical reliability engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name your tools
Job descriptions often call out specific software like CMMS platforms, power system simulation tools, or failure analysis programs. When a posting names tools you use daily, prioritize it and mirror that exact language in your resume and cover letter.
Prepare for scenario-based technical interviews
Expect questions built around real failure events: root cause analysis walkthroughs, how you would approach a recurring transformer fault, or how you prioritize assets in a criticality ranking. Practice narrating your decision process step by step, not just the outcome.
Negotiate scope alongside salary
When you receive an offer, ask about the asset portfolio size, maintenance budget authority, and access to reliability software. These details tell you whether the role lets you do real reliability work or becomes reactive maintenance under a different title.
Electrical Reliability Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most electrical reliability engineers?
The most active employers for electrical reliability engineers right now are SpaceX, Amphenol, and International Paper, and the most openings are in Texas, California, and Alabama, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Utilities, refining, and large-scale manufacturing operations consistently drive the highest demand for this role.
How many electrical reliability engineer jobs are remote?
About 30% of electrical reliability engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most roles require on-site equipment inspection and data collection. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility include reliability program development, standards writing, and data-driven condition monitoring analysis where field presence is less frequent.
How do you become an electrical reliability engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, then build hands-on experience in maintenance, power systems, or plant operations where you work directly with electrical assets. Develop expertise in failure analysis methodologies like FMEA and RCM. Earning a Certified Reliability Engineer credential strengthens your candidacy significantly. Many engineers move into reliability roles after several years in plant electrical or maintenance engineering positions.
How do you get hired as an electrical reliability engineer with little experience?
Focus on roles titled maintenance engineer, electrical plant engineer, or reliability technician that build the foundational skills employers want. Pursue coursework or self-study in reliability centered maintenance and failure mode analysis before applying. Highlight any project work involving root cause analysis, predictive maintenance tools, or electrical system troubleshooting, even if done in a support capacity rather than a lead role.
What does the electrical reliability engineer interview process look like?
Most processes include an initial screening call, a technical interview focused on failure analysis methods and power systems knowledge, and a panel interview with maintenance and operations stakeholders. Some employers add a practical exercise where you walk through a real or hypothetical equipment failure scenario. References from prior plant or utility environments are commonly requested before an offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to electrical reliability engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to electrical reliability engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, industry background, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
