Reliability Test Engineer

The role

You will design and build test setups, automate them, and run electrical, mechanical, and reliability campaigns. You will turn data into reports to drive design decisions.

What you will do

• Run validation across electrical, mechanical, environmental, and reliability testing.
• Build test setups including designing fixtures and PCBAs.
• Pick sensors and supplies.
• Automate test equipment, environmental chambers, and DAQ systems.
• Lead root cause and failure analysis on issues found in test.
• Automate analysis and anomaly detection across large test datasets.
• Write reports that drive design decisions across engineering.

Required qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of hands-on test engineering on electromechanical products that run embedded firmware.
• Strong with DAQ systems: sensor selection, signal conditioning, and troubleshooting.
• Python and/or LabVIEW for instrument control, test sequencing, and data analysis.
• A track record of tests that define real mechanical, electrical, and reliability limits.
• High standards for documentation.

Nice to have

• Battery, power electronics, or high-voltage testing.
• Environmental chambers, thermal cycling, vibration, or HALT/HASS.
• Fixture design in CAD and PCB design for test boards.
• Statistical analysis and reliability modeling.
