In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:
- Lead critical reliability activities throughout new product development, ensuring products meet customer expectations and business reliability targets before launch.
- Identify, prevent, and resolve potential product failures by applying reliability engineering tools and proven risk assessment methodologies.
- Drive data-based decision-making through quantitative reliability analysis, failure reporting, corrective action systems, and reliability performance tracking.
- Collaborate and negotiate with cross-functional technical and core project teams to deliver key reliability milestones and support successful product development outcomes.
- Take ownership of complex components, systems, or projects, providing independent leadership and accountability in environments with ambiguity and evolving requirements.
- Enhance and standardize reliability processes, tools, and methods, contributing to continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen product quality and organizational effectiveness.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers, technicians, and student employees, supporting knowledge transfer and capability development across the team.
- Influence technical direction as a recognized reliability specialist, helping project teams proactively manage product risks and deliver more dependable, high-performing solutions.
To be successful in this role you will need the following:
- Strong reliability engineering expertise with at least 10 (ten) years of experience, including Power BIA knowledge, reliability risk management, and supporting new product development programs from concept through launch.
- Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills to perform quantitative reliability analysis, interpret failure data, develop reliability models, and make data-driven recommendations that reduce product risk.
- Experience in reliability testing and validation, including developing reliability test plans, accelerated testing strategies, and evaluating results to identify unknown failure modes and improve product durability.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional reliability activities, including Failure Mode Avoidance (FMA), failure reporting and corrective action processes (FRACAS), stakeholder collaboration, and influencing teams to drive reliability improvements and successful product launches.
- College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or appropriate STEM field is required.
- Post-graduate (Master's) degree relevant to this discipline area may be required for select roles.
- This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations.
- Prior Senior or Lead Engineer equivalent work experience in a relevant discipline area is required with a demonstrated track record of technical problem solving and quality decision making. Knowledge of MS Office tools is preferred.
