Reliability Design Engineer - Motors, Mechanisms and Electronics

The role

You will build test infrastructure to predict and prevent failures in the lab. You will design, fabricate, and run electromechanical test rigs and automated setups to stress designs to failure.

What you will do

• Design, fabricate, and iterate electromechanical test rigs, fixtures, and automated setups
• Build accelerated life, fatigue, vibration and shock, and temperature and humidity tests
• Wire up and integrate actuators, motor drivers, sensors, and data acquisition
• Write scripts to automate test execution and data logging
• Partner with reliability engineers to translate physics of failure into test methods
• Support root cause failure analysis by designing apparatus and experiments
• Create and maintain CAD models, drawings, and documentation for test equipment
• Scale and maintain the reliability lab
• Work cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, software, quality, production, and supply chain teams

Required qualifications

• Technical degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a related hardware discipline
• 2+ years of hardware design engineering experience
• Proven ability to build, fabricate, and rapidly iterate physical prototypes and test setups
• Proficiency in CAD
• Hands-on comfort across electromechanical systems: actuators, motor control, sensors, and basic circuit work, data acquisition, and instrumentation
• Working proficiency with a scripting language such as Python for test automation and data handling
• Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere where you take ownership of ambiguous problems
• High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

Nice to have

• Exposure to reliability and test concepts such as accelerated testing, fatigue, life testing, DOE, or FMEA

Benefits

• Equity through the company’s discretionary equity program
• Medical coverage
• Dental coverage
• Vision coverage
• Access to a 401(k) plan
