About The Position
Candidate will support 3 projects working on the Imaging Platform, A7, and Sustaining. This is a contract role with a possibility of temp-to-perm. The role involves 30% lab work for new product final liability testing, 40% field support for product failures (reviewing with engineers and providing solutions), and 30% sustaining activities including cost reduction. The Reliability Engineer will play a critical role in the development of new life science technology within the R&D group, providing hands-on, analytical, and reliability expertise to support engineering programs for complex instruments. The position requires working in a team environment to assess and improve product reliability throughout the design process. Responsibilities include managing reliability projects, implementing tests, analyzing data, assessing reliability risks, and reporting to stakeholders.
Requirements
- Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in engineering or related discipline required.
- Minimum of 5 years of reliability engineering experience or experience performing tests to collect experimental data and performing statistical analyses to interpret results.
- Knowledge of reliability fundamentals and understanding of reliability analysis (i.e., life predictions, product life modeling, root cause analysis, environmental testing, accelerated testing, etc.).
- Applies technical standards, principles, concepts, and techniques to solve problems.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Willingness to work in BSL2 lab.
- Willingness to prepare blood samples for testing (training will be provided).
Nice To Haves
- 2 years of experience may be substituted with an advanced degree in engineering or related discipline.
