Role Summary
In this role, you willย driveย end-to-end reliability for ourย Solid-Stateย Transformerย (SST)ย platform, fromย conceptย toย fieldย deployment. You will lead cross-functional teams to mitigate program risks viaย Failure Mode and Effects Analysisย (DFMEA)/Fault Tree analysis (FTA)ย and set clear reliability benchmarks for supplier selection. Byย developingย advancedย Physics-of-failureย (PoF)ย modelingย and performing expert-level RCA, you will ensure our hardware meets the demandingย lifetimeย required for modern energy infrastructure.ย
Responsibilities:ย
- Assist in the setup and execution of reliability test plans for SST's, including thermal mapping and accelerated life testing.ย
- Utilize statistical methods to analyze test data, identifying trends in component or system-level failures.ย
- Participate in DFMEA sessions, helping to document risks and track mitigation actions.ย
- Perform initial root-cause analysis on failed components using lab equipment (microscopes, X-ray, etc.) and coordinate with senior engineers on complex investigations.ย
- Assist in building reliability block diagrams and basicย PoFย models to predict product lifetime.ย
- Work closely with the Design and Manufacturing teams to communicate test results and ensure reliability targets are met.ย
- Maintain detailed records of test procedures, lab results, and reliability reports for key milestones.ย
- Ability to travel occasionally to different facilities to support hardware deployment and testing.ย
Qualifications:ย
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Reliability Engineering.ย
- Strong understanding of power electronics fundamentals and circuit analysis.ย
- Basic familiarity with reliability statistics (Weibull distribution, MTBF) and a desire to master advanced Bayesian and Monte Carlo methods.ย
- Comfortable working in a high-voltage lab environment; experience with basic diagnostic tools (Oscilloscopes, Multimeters).ย
- Interest in learning reliability tools such as ReliaSoft (Weibull++, ALTA) or simulation software like Ansys Sherlock.ย
- Basic proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or R for data processing and automation.ย
- Excellent written and verbal skills; ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable updates for the team.ย
- A "first principles" thinker who is eager to learn and thrives in a fast-paced hardware startup environment.ย
Please note:This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.ย
