Staff Reliability Engineer

• Working knowledge of Design for Reliability (DFR) process and lead reliability engineering work throughout the product lifecycle.
• Define the reliability methods and tools for establishing confidence in the product design and implementation.
• Lead execution of DFR, including defining reliability targets, modeling, DFMEA, test specs and test planning.
• Manage reliability activities and risks through collaboration with cross-functional teams including failure analyses.
• Work with the test engineering team to ensure reliability test and verification plans on systems and components are aligned with the requirements.
• Support reliability data analysis, and collaborate with cross functional teams to resolve issues.
• Gather and analyze data on performance, reliability and degradation for fuel cell, mechanical and electrical systems.
• Work with other sections to support root cause analysis and corrective actions for various failure modes.
• Improve data collection and analysis methods for efficient monitoring of fleet performance and reliability metrics.
• Develop simulations to support predictions of service replacements and costs.
• Create presentations summarizing analyses with conclusions and recommendations for internal and external audiences.
• Strong data mining skills and experience in statistical analysis programs and other data visualization tools such as Excel, SQL Python, JMP, ReliaSoft RBD, Tableau, etc.
• Knowledge of Reliability Block Diagram, Fault Tree Analysis.
• Skilled at Root Cause and Corrective Actions (RCCA) using Six Sigma or 8D methods to solve complex problems
• Lead root cause analyses for using standard industry tools such 8D, 6-Sigma etc.
• Ability to read design drawings and understand Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Create PowerPoint presentations summarizing the analyses completed with assumptions, conclusions and recommendations for both internal and external audiences
• Knowledge of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodology.
• Ability to design experiments to test risk points and standardize testing procedures.
• Knowledge of Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) methodologies.
• Experience with Design of Experiments (DOE) for testing.
• Basic knowledge of chemistry, focused on hydrocarbons, sulfur odors and diatomic molecules.
• Experience in creating and maintaining dashboards to monitor component and system reliability to act as an early warning for systems that may be going out of control.

Basic experience working with hand tools (sometimes needed for performing RCCA and component/part autopsies).
