Robotics Reliability Engineer

About the Company

Matic is on a mission to recapture lost time by revolutionizing home robotics. Our first product is a floor cleaning robot that utilizes spatial AI, real-time 3D mapping, and adaptive path-tracking to work reliably in real homes.

Responsibilities

• Partner with design engineers to understand the physics of failure and design accelerated test methods
• Run DFMEA and set reliability targets early to predict failure modes before launch
• Design and build test setups for loading scenarios such as fatigue, vibration, shock, temperature, and humidity
• Monitor field failures via support tickets, social media, returns, and telemetry
• Perform teardowns of returned units to identify unreported failures
• Own and track the full catalog of field and potential failure modes across the fleet
• Build analytics on motor and sensor telemetry to surface failures at scale
• Perform root cause failure analysis from early bench testing through field returns
• Influence design direction by flagging under-prioritized failure modes

Requirements

• Technical degree in mechanical engineering, materials science, or equivalent
• 2-5 years of experience in a reliability engineering position
• Track record of defining reliability targets and test plans for consumer electronics
• Deep comfort with reliability statistics, life data analysis, and Weibull++
• Solid understanding of Design of Experiments (DOE), FMEA, and DFMEA
• Experience specifying and building reliability test setups
• Ability to analyze multi-source field data including telemetry and support tickets
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup atmosphere
