- Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.
- Experience in a hardware-intensive industry such as automotive, aerospace/defense, semiconductor, industrial equipment, or energy.
- Experience building a reliability program or reliability test capability from the ground up.
- Familiarity with physics-of-failure methods and accelerated stress modeling.
What you get
- Base salary range of $140,000-$200,000 annually.
- Eligibility for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options.
- Access to medical, vision & dental coverage.
