Electrical Reliability Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead Reliability Engineer efforts with each product team, supporting design reliability (predictive analysis and proactive failure modes and effects analysis), validation and qualification testing, production acceptance testing requirements, and fielding.
• Work with the team to analyze test results and field data to identify opportunities for improvement in product design, manufacturing processes, operations and maintenance procedures.
• Provide guidance and training to team members on Reliability, Maintainability, and System Safety principles and best practices.
• Lead Maintainability efforts with each product team such as predictive maintenance analysis, preventive maintenance procedure development, operational performance and metrics trend reviews, and have a stake in MRO (maintenance repair and operations) system infrastructure development across the business.
• Lead System Safety efforts with each product team such as FHA (functional hazard analysis), Fault Tree, SCFTA (Safety Critical Functional Thread Analysis), and SSA (System Safety Assessments)
• Support the Design Requirements Process as a Subject Matter Expert to ensure teams adhere to our Hardware Design Best Practices, and Analysis best practices.
• Lead, draft, and tailor Validation Test Plans and Qualification Test Plans with support from design team and execute with Test Engineer(s) for new products.
• Support Development Milestone Reviews such as Drawing Reviews, PDR, CDR, QDR, and support the production hand off process with Quality Engineering.
• Lead root cause analysis/failure investigation, and corrective action for issues found during R&D and Qualification testing alongside the Development, Quality and Test Engineering Teams.
• Lead acceptance test requirements for production and partner with Quality Engineering for incorporating into the end to end assembly plan.
• Lead development of preventive maintenance plans for all product variants and host regular metrics reviews to highlight key problem areas for deployed products.
• Propose and coordinate corrective actions to closure, while acting as the lead liaison to close all communication feedback loops between the FSR Team and the Electrical Engineering Teams.
• Host regular corrective action reviews to ensure lessons learned are communicated with all stakeholders, and that all actions have been implemented in a timely manner.
