Job Description SUMMARY: The Reliability Systems Engineer in our Product Development department is responsible for establishing optimal reliability strategies across products and projects, identifying and tracking progress to relevant metrics, and guiding subsystem and component owners in execution of the most beneficial reliability tools throughout the product development process. REPORTING TO/DEPARTMENT: Reports to the Sr. Director of Electromechanical Systems in the Electromechanical Engineering department. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Develop user and system-level product reliability requirements to enable achievement of customer and business reliability objectives; work with subsystem owners and subject matter experts to allocate those requirements to subsystem and component levels; provide guidance and implement strategies to verify those requirements; adapt strategies to address needs of both internal and sourced designs to ensure products/components meet or exceed functional requirements over their intended life in their intended environment. Translate user and system-level objectives into system and project-specific reliability plans; provide guidance to subsystem and component owners to create similar plans at those levels. Employ tools to identify and prioritize design risks and define mitigations to eliminate or reduce those risks as early as possible in the development cycle; tools include but are not limited to FMEAs, usage definition, evaluation with respect to anticipated stresses, and field data analysis. Identify design analysis and other (non-test-based) strategies to mitigate design risks and enable requirement verification; applicable tools include but are not limited to de-rating, reliability prediction, modeling, and finite element analysis. Provide guidance on test strategies to achieve reliability objectives, not limited to but including reliability growth testing (e.g. HALT/step stress testing), mitigation of design risks (e.g. environmental testing),...
