About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Reliability Engineering, or a related field is required.
  • At least 5 years of experience in reliability, product development, validation, or quality engineering within a mechanical or electromechanical environment is required.
  • Experience with Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), reliability modeling (MTBF, Weibull, RBD), root cause analysis, validation testing, and accelerated life testing is required.
  • Experience working within structured new product introduction (NPI) or stage-gate development processes is required.
  • Familiarity with reliability testing methods and environmental qualification practices is required.
  • Strong technical communication skills, including reports, presentations, and executive summaries, are required.
  • Experience analyzing field performance data to drive engineering decisions is required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead DFMEA development and continuous improvement for new and existing products.
  • Support Design for Reliability (DFR) during product development and NPI.
  • Develop and maintain reliability models, including MTBF, reliability block diagrams (RBD), Weibull analysis, and failure trend analysis.
  • Define reliability requirements and targets at system, subsystem, and component levels.
  • Establish and monitor reliability key performance indicators, including field failures, warranty trends, product degradation, and customer returns.
  • Participate in design reviews and provide risk-based reliability recommendations.
  • Develop and execute reliability test strategies, including highly accelerated life testing (HALT), highly accelerated stress screening (HASS), accelerated life testing (ALT), environmental, fatigue, corrosion, thermal cycling, and mechanical loading tests.
  • Support Design Verification Plans and Reports (DVPRs) and qualification planning.
  • Define statistically appropriate sample sizes and confidence levels for validation testing.
  • Coordinate and oversee internal and third-party laboratory testing.
  • Analyze test results and recommend design improvements to enhance durability and performance.
  • Analyze field failures, customer returns, and warranty trends to identify systemic reliability issues.
  • Develop and maintain warranty forecasting inputs and support reserve modeling.
  • Partner with Finance, Quality, and Engineering to improve warranty prediction accuracy.
  • Feed field performance lessons learned back into product development.
  • Lead or support structured root cause investigations using 8D, fault tree analysis (FTA), and Weibull methods.
  • Support corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) for recurring failures.
  • Improve reliability processes, data collection, and reporting practices.
  • Develop reliability dashboards and performance metrics as needed.
  • Integrate reliability engineering into stage-gate product development processes.
  • Partner with Design Engineering to improve product robustness early in design.
  • Support Sustaining Engineering with field issue resolution and design improvements.
  • Collaborate with Manufacturing and Quality on recurring performance issues.
  • Provide reliability input for new technology evaluations and product changes.
  • Support qualification activities aligned with UL, IEC, ASTM, and ISO standards.
  • Assist with certification testing and technical documentation.
  • Stay current on evolving standards related to solar tracker systems and outdoor structural applications.
  • Establish and standardize reliability engineering processes, tools, and best practices.
  • Mentor engineers and cross-functional teams on reliability principles.
  • Contribute to long-term reliability strategy and roadmap development.
  • Support growth of the Reliability function as business needs evolve.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree in Engineering or a related discipline is preferred.
  • Experience in renewable energy, solar, heavy equipment, automotive, or outdoor mechanical systems is preferred.
  • Familiarity with corrosion mechanisms and environmental degradation is preferred.
  • Experience with statistical software such as Minitab, ReliaSoft, or JMP is preferred.
  • Familiarity with structural systems, including fasteners, bearings, drivetrains, actuators, torque tubes, and mechanical joints is preferred.
  • Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or Black Belt) or Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) certification is preferred.
