Responsibilities

Assist in the setup and execution of reliability test plans for SST’s (solid state transformer), including thermal mapping and accelerated life testing.
Utilize statistical methods to analyze test data, identifying trends in component or system-level failures.
Participate in DFMEA sessions, helping to document risks and track mitigation actions.
Perform initial root-cause analysis on failed components using lab equipment (microscopes, X-ray, etc.) and coordinate with senior engineers on complex investigations.
Assist in building reliability block diagrams and basic PoF models to predict product lifetime.
Work closely with the Design and Manufacturing teams to communicate test results and ensure reliability targets are met.
Maintain detailed records of test procedures, lab results, and reliability reports for key milestones.
Ability to travel occasionally to different facilities to support hardware deployment and testing.
What You'll Bring
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Reliability Engineering.
Strong understanding of hardware reliability or circuit analysis.
Basic familiarity with reliability statistics (Weibull distribution, MTBF) and a desire to master advanced Bayesian and Monte Carlo methods.
