Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior Reliability Engineer in charge of developing and executing reliability test plans for the printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), harnesses, and connectors to ensure they meet our humanoid robot product reliability targets. We need someone who can derive reliability targets and test specs with incomplete field usage knowledge, give data-driven recommendations to the design and manufacturing teams for what to improve, and advocate for design for reliability in the design phase.

Job Responsibility:

Work with cross-functional teams, own hardware reliability requirements and validation strategy
Develop and execute accelerated life tests for PCBAs, electronic components, electrical harness and connectors
Lead DFMEA efforts with design engineers to assess design risks, impacts, controls, and corrective actions
Design reliability test flows and procedures, communicate with internal and external/CM teams to execute tests and report results
Work with test engineers to design setup and fixtures used in reliability testing
Guide and support PCBA, harness, connector failure analysis, design of experiments (DOEs) and corrective action processes with cross-functional teams
Analyze field data, assess field risks, and design tests that correlate to field usage conditions

Requirements:

5+ years of experience in relevant reliability engineering areas
Bachelor's degree or higher in relevant science and engineering fields
Strong knowledge of environmental reliability test principles, models, and methodologies, such as high temperature high humidity, thermal cycle/shock, mechanical vibration/shock
Strong knowledge of industry test standards such as AECQ, JEDEC, IPC standards
Strong knowledge of electrical circuits, PCBA design and relevant SW tools (e.g. Altium)
Strong knowledge of PCBA, harness and connector failure modes, mechanisms, and FA techniques
Hands-on experience on field reliability risk analysis and failure prediction methods
Hands-on experience with Weibull++, JMP, or other reliability statistical analysis software
Hands-on experience on electronic circuit debug and relevant tools, e.g. source meter, oscilloscope
Hands-on experience with 3D CAD tool (e.g. CATIA)

Nice to have:

Experience of shipping reliable robotics, consumer or automotive products
Knowledge of PCBA, harness and connector manufacturing processes and quality control practices
Hands-on experience of CATIA V6 CAD
Hands-on experience of finite element analysis (FEA) SW, e.g. Ansys
Hands-on experience of FA tools & techniques such as SEM/EDS, CT-Xray, Cross-section, FTIR
Hands-on experience of accelerometers, load cells, strain gauges and relevant setup and data acquisition techniques
