Hardware Reliability Engineer

About the Role: 

Motive is looking for a Senior Reliability Engineer to own and manage hardware reliability engineering activities during product development. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners to understand the product use case and translate that into a comprehensive reliability plan to enable design and ship a reliable product.

This is a high impact role where the individual will be responsible for reliability specification development, test plan development, co-ordinating test execution as well as drive failure analysis and risk assessments.

What You’ll Do: 

•  Own end to end reliability for NPI products. Drive DFMEA to highlight reliability risks early in product development cycle.
• Develop reliability specifications for NPI products by collaborating with internal stakeholders (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, product management, program management etc.) to understand design and use case.
• Create reliability test plans during xVT builds. Work with manufacturing partners and test vendors on test execution.
• Drive failure analysis with internal and external stakeholders.
• Perform reliability risk assessments if necessary
• Provide crisp summaries of reliability findings to the cross-functional team during xVT to aid design and product decisions.

What We’re Looking For: 

• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering or similar discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in hardware reliability engineering of consumer electronics or automotive electronics products.
• Familiarity with industry standards such as MIL, SAE, IEC, ISO, JEDEC etc.
• Prior experience with accelerated life tests (ALT) and using acceleration models to develop reliability specifications.
• Hands-on experience with reliability testing such as vibration, environmental testing, mechanical shock, drop etc.
• Basic understanding of reliability statics such as Weibull analysis.
• Excellent supplier management and project management skills.
• Strong written and oral communication.
• Ability to travel to partner sites (30%).
• ASQ CRE certification is a plus
