Reliability Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities

Brief Description & Role

The candidate will be responsible for defining, developing and executing reliability strategies for our cutting-edge RF products throughout their entire llifecycle, from design and development to manufacturing. You will play a critical role in identifying potential failure mechanisms, implementing robust testing strategies, and driving continuous improvement to deliver exceptional product quality to our customers.

Responsibilities

• Design for Reliability : Collaborate closely with design and development teams during the early stages of product development to incorporate reliability best practices into product design, material selection, and manufacturing processes.
• Reliability Testing : Develop, implement, and execute comprehensive reliability test plans (e,g, accelerate life testing, environmental testing, HALT / HASS, highly accelerated stress screening) for components, sub-assemblies, and finished products.
• Failure Analysis : Conduct in-depth failure analysis on field returns, manufacturing defects and test failures to identify root causes using various analytical techniques (e.g. microscopy, X-ray, cross sectioning, electrical testing).
• Data Analysis & reporting : Analyse reliability test data, field failure data, and warranty date to identify trends, predict product lifetime, and generate insightful reports for cross-functional teams and management.
• Risk Assessment : Perform reliability risk assessments throughout the product lifecycle, proposing mitigation strategies and recommending design or process changes to improve product robustness.
• Supplier Collaboration : Work with suppliers to ensure the reliability of purchased components and materials, establishing reliability requirements and monitoring supplier quality.
• Process Improvement : Drive continuous improvement initiatives in product design, manufacturing processes, and testing methodologies to enhance overall product reliability and reduce warranty costs.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner effectively with R & D, manufacturing, Quality, Service, and Project teams to ensure a holistic approach to product reliability.
• Documentation : Maintain thorough documentation of test plans, test results, failure analyses, and corrective actions.
