Description

As a Senior Reliability Test Engineer, you will be tasked with ensuring our hardware meets the highest level of quality and reliability. This involves developing and implementing reliability test strategies for new products, working closely with hardware and software engineering teams, and designing and executing novel environmental, RF, mechanical, and electrical testing techniques.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing and implementing reliability test strategies for new products to maximize field life and minimize early life failures
  • Working closely with hardware and software engineering teams to maximize reliability across all disciplines
  • Designing and executing novel environmental, RF, mechanical, and electrical testing techniques tailored to the product and its functions
  • Writing test programs to exercise the functionality of the product over various conditions and environments
  • Automating reliability test initiatives and reporting using proper data visualization techniques and thorough knowledge of the product and its functions
  • Defining the ongoing reliability testing strategy to monitor the manufacturing process health and screen for long-term reliability defects caused by process and component variability
  • Root cause systemic production issues or failures found in test and drive design or process changes to meet long-term reliability goals

Requirements include:

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline
  • 5+ years of experience in test, analysis, manufacturing, or hardware development
  • Thorough understanding and experience in environmental testing such as HALT/HASS, thermal, vibration, and TVAC
  • Programming experience in Python, C, and SQL with an emphasis on data analysis and automation
  • Demonstrated capability to think creatively and solve complex problems with little to no supervision on schedule
  • Thorough understanding of electronics reliability and failure mechanisms
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a highly cross-functional role

Bonus requirements include:

  • Experience with both electronics and mechanical design and analysis, including knowledge of RF principles
  • Experience in a fast-paced, iterative design environment within the consumer electronics, medical devices, aerospace, marine, or automotive industries
  • Demonstrated application of design or process validation and control methods such as DFMEA, PFMEA, design of experiments (DOE), and statistical process control (SPC)
  • Thorough understanding of electrical schematics and electronics manufacturing to analyze and improve test coverage
  • Hands-on experience qualifying and maintaining manufacturing processes for electronics and/or mechanical assemblies
  • Excellent communication skills, written and verbal. Ability to produce executive-level reports and presentations to efficiently convey information about large data sets
