As a Reliability Engineer at General Matter, you'll own the reliability of the hardware we build. You'll design and lead the test campaigns that tell us how our systems hold up over their life — how they fail, when, and why — and bring the analytical rigor to make those answers trustworthy. This is a hands-on, systems-level role embedded closely with our test organization: you'll turn requirements into test plans, make sense of the results, and feed what you learn back into design so reliability is built in rather than discovered late. As General Matter scales, you'll help lay the foundation for a dedicated reliability test capability.

Design and lead accelerated life test (ALT), life-leader, and component reliability test campaigns across our hardware.

Develop reliability test plans that map applied stresses to field conditions using appropriate acceleration models.

Perform the statistical analysis that determines test article quantities, sample sizes, test durations, and confidence/reliability targets (e.g., reliability demonstration testing, Weibull/life-data analysis, sudden-death testing).

Define and allocate reliability requirements across systems and components.

Analyze test and field data to characterize failure modes, life distributions, and reliability growth.

Lead failure analysis and root-cause investigations and drive corrective actions to closure.

Develop and maintain reliability models and artifacts — FMEA/FMECA, reliability block diagrams, fault trees, and life predictions.

Work embedded with test engineering to execute campaigns, instrument test articles, and interpret results.

Partner with design, manufacturing, and quality to embed design-for-reliability (DfR) practices across the product lifecycle.

Establish reliability metrics, tracking, and reporting to give leadership a clear view of hardware maturity and risk.
