Reliability Engineer

Responsibilities

• Define and own the reliability strategy for hardware products with complex PCBAs and electromechanical systems
• Plan and execute reliability tests such as HALT, thermal cycling, vibration, drop, humidity, ingress protection (IP) testing, and power cycling
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define design-for-reliability (DfR) requirements and drive root cause analysis for test failures
• Track reliability KPIs and deliver reliability insights to guide design improvements and product decisions
• Develop accelerated life test models and support FMEA and DFMEA processes
• Analyze reliability data using Weibull, log-normal, and other statistical models to predict field performance
• Work closely with engineering teams to establish reliability gates through program stages (A/B/C/D)
• Support failure analysis (FA) efforts using tools like X-ray, cross-sectioning, and SEM/EDX to identify failure mechanisms in PCBAs
• Author reports and document findings

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in hardware reliability engineering
• Deep knowledge of electronic and mechanical failure mechanisms
• Proficiency in statistical analysis tools such as Minitab, JMP, or Python
• Experience with reliability lab equipment and test setup design
• Knowledge of reliability warranty analysis and reliability prediction methods
• Working knowledge of failure analysis techniques such as optical microscopy, SEM, CSAM, X-ray, cross-sectioning, and EDX
