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 Quality and Reliability Engineer Job Search
Quantify defect reduction on your resume
Hiring managers for quality and reliability roles scan for measurable outcomes, not just duties. Replace phrases like 'improved yield' with specific results tied to DPPM reduction, Cpk improvements, or field return rates you directly influenced.
List your certifications above your tools
CQE, CRE, and Six Sigma certifications signal immediate credibility in this field. Place them in a dedicated section near the top of your resume, before your technical tools list, so recruiters see your credentials before they reach your software stack.
Target postings by failure mode discipline
Quality and reliability roles split sharply between FMEA-heavy process work and physics-of-failure disciplines like HALT, HASS, and accelerated life testing. Search using those specific terms rather than the generic title to surface openings that match your actual depth.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists quality and reliability engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a structured problem-solving walkthrough
Interviewers in this field almost always ask you to walk through a real quality escape or reliability failure you investigated. Prepare two or three examples using the 8D or A3 framework so your answer demonstrates methodology, not just the fix you landed on.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
Quality and reliability engineers often have more leverage to negotiate lab access, capital budget authority, and cross-functional influence than pure compensation. If the base offer is firm, ask about ownership of qualification programs or direct customer-facing responsibilities before accepting.
Quality and Reliability Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most quality and reliability engineers?
The companies hiring the most quality and reliability engineers right now include Amazon, Amazon Web Services, and Samsung Electronics, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Aerospace, semiconductor, and medical device manufacturers consistently account for the highest volume of active postings.
How many quality and reliability engineer jobs are remote?
About 44% of quality and reliability engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on lab and manufacturing floor requirements of most roles. Sub-areas with the highest remote share tend to be supplier quality auditing, quality systems documentation, and reliability data analysis rather than test engineering or process qualification work.
How do you become a quality and reliability engineer?
Start with an engineering bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, industrial, or materials engineering, as most employers list this as a baseline requirement. Build hands-on exposure to quality tools like FMEA, SPC, and measurement system analysis through internships or entry-level manufacturing roles. Earning a CQE or CRE certification from the American Society for Quality strengthens your application considerably and signals formal grounding in both disciplines.
Can you get hired as a quality and reliability engineer without direct experience?
Yes, entry-level quality and reliability engineer roles exist, particularly in aerospace and consumer electronics, and employers often consider candidates who demonstrate relevant academic project work or internship exposure. Coursework in reliability engineering, design of experiments, or statistical process control is a strong substitute for professional experience early in a career. Highlighting any hands-on work with test equipment, failure analysis, or quality audits, even from academic labs, helps significantly.
What does the quality and reliability engineer interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four stages. An initial recruiter screen is followed by a technical phone interview covering reliability concepts, statistical methods, and your familiarity with industry standards like ISO or IATF. A panel interview with engineering and quality leadership typically includes a case study or failure analysis walkthrough. Some employers add a practical exercise asking you to review a sample FMEA or interpret a Weibull plot before the final offer stage.
Where can I find and apply to quality and reliability engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to quality and reliability engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your background and apply directly to each one that fits.
