What you need

  • Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Reliability, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience designing and executing reliability test campaigns (e.g., accelerated life testing, HALT/HASS, durability, or component reliability testing).
  • Strong applied statistics for reliability — life-data (Weibull) analysis, reliability demonstration and sample-size determination, design of experiments (DOE), confidence intervals, and acceleration modeling.
  • Proficiency with reliability and statistical tools (e.g., ReliaSoft Weibull++/ALTA, Minitab, JMP, Python, or R).
  • Experience with FMEA/FMECA and reliability modeling methods.

Nice to have

  • Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
  • 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.
  • Access to a 401(k) retirement plan.

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of remote work options or flexibility in hours beyond extended hours and weekends as necessary.
  • The role requires a hands-on approach, which may not suit those looking for a purely strategic position.
