Senior Engineer, Reliability

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Job Duties: Set and maintain standards for reliability assumptions, statistics, methods and documentation supporting product claims. Translate service-life, duty-cycle and warranty expectations into measurable reliability requirements and acceptance criteria. Develop executable test plans defining stress profiles, samples, instrumentation, failure criteria, stop criteria and analysis methods. Design and lead HALT, HASS, HASA, accelerated life and step-stress testing appropriate to product risks and use environments. Determine statistically defensible sample sizes, test durations, confidence levels and reliability demonstration approaches. Develop and defend acceleration factors using physics-of-failure models and validate assumptions when risk warrants. Evaluate corner cases, tolerance extremes and combined environmental or duty-cycle conditions that may set design limits. Own the Design Validation Plan for new platforms, including requirements traceability, DFMEA alignment, execution status and release recommendations. Analyze reliability data using Weibull and other life-distribution methods, censored data, confidence bounds, DOE, regression and hypothesis testing. Integrate warranty, field return, RMA and installed-base data to compare predicted and realized reliability and improve future validation. Lead failure analysis through root cause, corrective action and effectiveness verification within the FRACAS process. Partner with Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Product Management, suppliers and laboratories to embed reliability throughout development and production. Build repeatable analysis tools, structured data, dashboards and reporting standards that improve reproducibility and decision quality. Mentor engineers and technicians, represent reliability in reviews and audits, and communicate evidence, uncertainty and risk to technical and business audiences. ***** OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: Education and Experience: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, Reliability, Industrial Engineering or a related discipline. 5+ years of hardware product-development engineering experience, including reliability engineering, accelerated testing and life data analysis. ASQ Certified Reliability Engineer; Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt. Qualifications: Demonstrated expertise in HALT, HASS, ALT, step-stress testing, reliability demonstration and design validation planning. Strong applied statistics, acceleration modeling, physics of failure and technical influence without direct authority. Experience with metering, sensors, battery-powered electronics or long-service-life hardware is preferred. Knowledge of applicable industry standards; and experience with ReliaSoft, Minitab, JMP or relevant scripting tools is preferred. Competencies: Collaboration: Work collaboratively with others across the organization to achieve shared objectives. Communication: Convey information and ideas clearly and concisely to individuals or groups in an engaging manner that helps them understand and retain the message; listen actively to others. Initiating Action: Take prompt action to accomplish work goals; take action to achieve results beyond what is required; be proactive. Work Standards: Setting high standards of performance for self and others; assuming responsibility and accountability for successfully completing assignments or tasks; self-imposing standards of excellence rather than having standards imposed. ***** APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Apply Online: https://talentwire.org/jZbsdh
