Own the design and implementation of hardware and software systems to execute comprehensive performance and reliability validation for products performing in a wide array of use cases
Analyze data, calculate statistics, and carefully document results to explain trends and inform impactful design improvements
Perform failure analysis to identify root cause and help develop process/design mitigations to resolve system issues, collaborating with mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing, and quality engineering teams
Participate in design reviews and provide key design for reliability inputs to mitigate risks at every stage of the product development lifecycle.

Requirements:

A sense of how to test, how not to test, and how to find vulnerabilities in processes and design
A systematic approach to problem solving, and a knack for rapidly identifying issues within electro-mechanical systems
strong desire to drive failure analyses to true root cause
Enthusiastic tendencies toward diving in and applying first principles to engineer creative solutions to complex problems
Experience with Python or other programming languages for test automation, data analysis and visualization
Strong desire to learn and contribute across multiple domains within a dynamic and growing organization
