The Test and Reliability Engineer is responsible for ensuring we deliver product performance that meets or exceeds our design specifications and customers' expectations by establishing robust, data-driven, testing strategies, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). The role requires close collaboration with engineering, quality, production, manufacturing engineering, and customers for testing as part of new product development and to investigate failure modes, develop corrective actions, and implement reliability improvements across design, manufacturing, and field operations to enhance product life cycles and increase overall product life in the field. By driving root cause analysis and continuous improvement, the Test and Reliability Engineer helps deliver high-quality, dependable products that drive customer satisfaction. The ideal candidate will have experience developing and implementing robust, data-driven, processes with rigorous statistical data analysis working in conjunction with internal and external stakeholders.

  • Develop and Implement reliability testing plans for key products, including Highly Accelerated Life Tests (HALT), environmental tests, and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)
  • Create reliability testing framework that replicates typical field service life cycle using accelerate life testing methods
  • Analyze failure data from tests and field performance to identify trends and root causes
  • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) to develop corrective and preventative actions
  • Identify opportunities for improving product reliability, quality, and durability through data analysis
  • Develop and maintain production validation test plans, instructions, and test scripts to ensure product durability and performance
  • Collect, process, and analyze test room(s)/system performance and reliability data
  • Develop and present reliability reports to stakeholders, highlighting findings and recommending improvements
  • Work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and quality to integrate reliability principles into product development including performance testing in the development and qualification of next generation products
  • Validate changes to manufacturing process does not impact overall life of product
  • Complete root cause analysis for early life failures associated with customer complaints
  • Collaborate with engineering and quality to define, measure, and record necessary metrics (key performance variables) for product testing; maintaining testing and other necessary records
  • Service and repair of product testing apparatus
  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Technology or related discipline
