Reliability Engineer - Automotive Power Electronics

Job Description

Our Electrified Motion – Power Electronics division develops advanced technologies that enable the next generation of electrified vehicles. As a Reliability Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the robustness and long-term reliability of our automotive power electronics products, including inverters, on-board chargers and DC-DC converters.

In this role, you will contribute across the entire product lifecycle – from concept phase through series production and field support – while supporting cost-efficiency initiatives without compromising product reliability.

Your tasks:

► Evaluate customer reliability requirements and relevant automotive standards (e.g., ISO 16750, AEC-Q100, AEC-Q101) and define reliability targets for power electronics systems and components

► Identify, analyze and mitigate reliability-related risks during product development using structured methodologies such as FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)

► Analyze complete automotive systems to define use cases, mission profiles and load conditions (electrical, thermal, mechanical) and apply Design for Reliability (DfR) and physics-of-failure principles

► Define reliability design guidelines and develop test and validation plans, including accelerated life testing at component and system level

► Support cost optimization and target costing initiatives while ensuring that product robustness and reliability targets are maintained

► Lead systematic problem-solving activities (e.g., 8D, Ishikawa) for production and field issues and perform root cause analysis based on field data

► Document analyses, test results and findings and present reliability-related topics to internal stakeholders and customers

Qualifications

► Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Physics, Chemistry or a related field

► Proven professional experience in reliability engineering, ideally within the automotive or power electronics industry, or relevant fields with willingness to develop further in this area

► Experience with high-voltage power electronics products such as inverters, DC-DC converters or on-board chargers is an advantage

► In-depth understanding of physics-of-failure mechanisms in electronic components and materials

► Strong knowledge of statistical reliability methods (e.g., Weibull analysis) and risk evaluation approaches

► Familiarity with component and system-level reliability standards (e.g., JEDEC, AEC-Q) is beneficial

► Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach

► Confident communication skills in English; German language knowledge is an advantage

What gives you further advantages:

► Experience in automotive electrification or e-mobility projects
► Knowledge of reliability testing and validation methodologies
► Experience working in cross-functional and international project teams
