Senior Staff Reliability Engineer

• Monitor, document, root cause, pareto, and prioritize resolution for design or process defects discovered during product prototype design, development, verification testing, customer pilots and eventual field deployment
• Lead failure analysis investigations, driving root cause identification, prevention, and corrective actions via close collaboration with cross-functional subject matter experts
• Develop mechanisms for prioritizing failure and reliability investigation
• Lead or support DFMEA activities, driving lessons learned into new product designs, translating engineering design risks into mitigation priorities, including verification strategies, test methods and procedures, with well defined acceptance criteria
• Create and integrate system and subsystem reliability models with targets that achieve overall product requirements. Author a cohesive set of reliability requirements across the product ecosystem and track estimated performance against them
• Work with the System Test team to develop reliability growth testing strategies, including accelerated life methods, and appropriate sample size selection
• Deliver executive presentations showcasing results, improvement recommendations, and implementation progress
• Work with the Customer Success team to drive serviceability, maintenance schedules, and care plans

• BS in Engineering or related field (MSME or MSEE preferred)
• 5+ years electromechanical systems design and development experience
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to deliver high-level summaries to an executive audience and navigating deep technical analysis with expert engineers
• Hands-on failure analysis of electromechanical systems, as a design engineer, reliability engineer, and/or quality engineer
• Extensive experience with corrective action reporting processes and systems, ideally across many companies, along with experience creating and improving such systems
• Defining test conditions, generating acceleration factors using empirical models, generating test durations, sample sizes, pass-fail criteria, setup controls, and data acquisition
• Reliability & robustness methods, including Six Sigma, DFMEA, DVP&R, DOE, root cause analysis, data analytics
• Structured problem solving methods (8D, Six Sigma, Is/Is-not, Ishikawa)

• Highly relevant design domains, including DC motors, controllers, gear trains, bearings, encoders, transducers, cameras, user interfaces, 2-way audio, PCBAs, flex circuits, wire harnesses, slip rings, radios, compute, batteries & BMS, lighting for communication, articulating arms with end effectors, structural housings & linkages
• Software tools including Jama, Jira, Google Suite, Testrail, Python, Matlab, Reliasoft or other statistical analysis tools
• Data analysis using tools such as Looker, Snowflake, and/or Tableau. Experience writing queries in SQL
• Analysis of software log data to identify failure causes
• Ability to drive complex new electromechanical embedded products through test design, execution, and analysis
• Diagnostics and fault management
