Reliability Engineer, Hardware

The role

You will own hardware reliability for next-generation autonomous construction machines. You will define reliability programs across various subsystems and translate goals into design, test, and process decisions.

What you will do

• Define and own hardware reliability strategy, requirements, and budgets.
• Plan and facilitate Design FMEAs across subsystems.
• Build and maintain fault trees for safety-critical and availability-critical functions.
• Develop reliability block diagrams, reliability allocations, and predictions.
• Define and execute HALT/HASS, accelerated life testing, and environmental/durability test programs.
• Run a Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System.
• Embed reliability into design and milestone reviews.
• Partner with supply chain and vendors to qualify components and suppliers.
• Build reliability data pipelines and dashboards.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to turn findings into design and process changes.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years in hardware reliability engineering for vehicles, heavy machinery, robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial equipment.
• Deep, hands-on expertise leading DFMEA and FTA.
• Expertise in reliability prediction/modeling, accelerated and life testing (HALT/HASS, ALT), and structured root-cause analysis / FRACAS.
• Strong working knowledge of reliability and statistical tools (e.g., ReliaSoft Weibull++/BlockSim, Windchill Quality/Relex, Minitab, Python or R).

Nice to have

• Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems
