Reliability Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design, fabricate, and iterate electromechanical test rigs, fixtures, and automated setups to reproduce field failure modes
• Build accelerated life, fatigue, vibration, shock, and temperature/humidity tests for motors, mechanisms, and electronics
• Wire and integrate actuators, motor drivers, sensors, and data acquisition systems
• Write scripts to automate test execution and data logging
• Partner with reliability engineers to translate physics of failure into test methods
• Support root cause failure analysis by designing experiments to isolate failure mechanisms
• Create and maintain CAD models, drawings, and documentation for test equipment
• Scale and maintain the reliability lab as hardware versions and test volume grow
• Work cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, software, quality, production, and supply chain teams

Requirements

• Technical degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or related hardware discipline
• 2+ years of hardware design engineering experience, ideally with high-volume physical products
• Proven ability to build, fabricate, and rapidly iterate physical prototypes and test setups
• Proficiency in CAD
• Hands-on comfort with electromechanical systems, motor control, sensors, and basic circuit work
• Working proficiency with Python for test automation and data handling
• Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere and ambiguous problems

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to reliability and test concepts such as accelerated testing, fatigue, life testing, DOE, or FMEA
