About The Position

The Staff Reliability Engineer works in cross-functional teams with designers, customers, and manufacturing engineering and project leaders to ensure products designed can meet reliability specifications. The role involves defining the reliability testing strategy, reliability test plan, and conducting tests. The engineer will complete a stress-based MTBF analysis of products, thus providing initial reliability predictions.

Requirements

• 10+ years' reliability expertise in reliability analysis, reliability prediction methods, and accelerated life testing and design analysis for electronic products (Communication, Enterprise products).
• Demonstrated experience with FMEA, design for reliability (DFR), DFT, and design for manufacturability (DFM) concepts, particularly as they relate to process, property, and complex manufacturing systems.
• Familiar with Reliability Block Diagram (RBD), Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), De-rating, reparable and life analysis.
• Familiar with environmental and reliability testing such as vibration test, shock test, drop test, storage test, HALT/HASS, acoustic test, RVI test, etc.
• Familiar with reliability data analysis software, e.g., JMP, Minitab, and/or Windchill.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Project management and data analysis skills.
• Able to work independently, self-motivated, and well-organized.
• Candidate must have demonstrated home internet access due to the hybrid nature of the role.

• Coordinate third-party performance and regulatory testing.
• Train relevant manufacturing partner personnel to conduct the tests.
• Perform failure analysis and generate failure reports.
• Design guidelines recommendations based on run-to-failure testing and stress vs. strength analysis.
• Actively collaborate with the engineering team and seek opportunities to develop new/improve existing durability test methodology to enhance product development efficiency.
• Apply problem-solving and analytical skills to conduct failure analysis.
• Lead FMEA for chassis- and rack-level (L10/L11) products, coordinating inputs from design teams and working with other stakeholders in the organization to complete tasks per customer requirements.
