As a Hardware Reliability Engineer at Shield AI, you will be responsible for ensuring the robustness and long-term performance of our VBAT flight hardware. You'll work closely with design, manufacturing, and supplier chain to implement design-for-reliability best practices and perform reliability verification from concept through production.
\nYou will lead environmental and stress testing efforts, including temperature cycling, vibration, HALT, and HASS, conduct failure analysis and materials characterization, and analyze root cause investigations for manufacturing non-conformances and field returns. You'll participate in design reviews and FMEA activities, shape material selection and manufacturing requirements, analyze test and field data using reliability modeling tools, and help develop corrective actions and process improvements that elevate hardware reliability across the program.
\nResponsibilities:\nude and implement design-for-reliability best practices, conducting rigorous testing, shaping manufacturing requirements, selecting materials, and analyzing field data to enhance the robustness of VBAT hardware.\nPerform stress screening, environmental testing, and drive failure analysis to ensure flight hardware meets reliability and performance targets.\nAnalyze designs and test results to identify potential failure modes and mitigations.\nCollaborate with design engineers to implement design for reliability best practices early in design.\nAct as a key stakeholder in reviewing and approving designs for release.\nParticipate in design reviews and failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) to assess potential reliability issues.\nInvestigate manufacturing non-conformances and field hardware failures to determine root cause.\nTravel as needed to perform deep dives into supplier processes.\nDevelop and recommend corrective actions to address identified reliability issues.\nUtilize reliability modeling and simulation tools to predict system performance and lifespan.\nStay current with industry trends, advancements, and best practices in hardware reliability engineering.\nPropose and implement process improvements to drive improvements in reliability across the program.
