PCBA Reliability Engineer - All Levels

We are looking for a hardware Reliability Engineer in charge of driving design for reliability, designing and executing test plans for the printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) in our humanoid robots to ensure they meet our reliability targets. 

• →Collect and analyze current and prospective product use cases to define PCBA reliability specs and validation methods.
• →Lead DFMEA efforts with design engineers to assess design risks, impacts, controls, and corrective actions.
• →Develop reliability tests for PCBAs and associated electronic components, electrical harness and connectors.
• →Drive and manage internal/external resources and suppliers in planning and executing reliability tests in each engineering build.
• →Work with test engineers to develop custom test fixtures, electronics, and codes.
• →Guide, support, and execute failure analysis, design of experiments (DOEs) and corrective action processes with cross-functional teams.
• →Document failures and work with design and manufacturing engineers to resolve them.
• →Conduct physics and statistical analysis on test and field failures to assess risk and provide actionable recommendations.

• Minimum 2 years of work experience in reliability engineering.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in relevant science and engineering fields.
• Strong knowledge of environmental reliability test principles, models, and methodologies, such as high temperature high humidity, thermal cycle/shock, mechanical vibration/shock.
• Strong knowledge of industry test standards such as AECQ, JEDEC, IPC standards.
• Strong knowledge of electrical circuits, PCBA design and relevant SW tools (e.g. Altium).
• Strong knowledge of PCBA failure modes, mechanisms, and FA techniques.
