Responsibilities

• As a System Reliability Engineer, you'll be responsible for identifying high-risk failure modes early in the design process and working closely with design engineering teams to reduce those risks. You'll create new reliability tests based on the physics of failure and anticipated user behavior, ensuring our systems meet the highest standards. You'll also develop and deliver critical test equipment and specifications, and collaborate with vendors to meet testing deadlines. Additionally, you'll support failure analysis efforts, offering design recommendations based on your evaluation of test data to drive continuous product improvements.
• Guide design and interact with diverse groups to improve product reliability
• Statistical data analysis to evaluate designs and provide design risk assessments
• Present test plans, results, and risk assessments in a confident and positive manner to management and executive teams
• Develop new reliability tests procedures and specifications
• Prepare concise and detailed test plans and analyze test results
• Research new technologies to understand unique failure mechanisms
