As a Design-for-Reliability (DfR) Engineer for low-voltage electronics, you will drive product reliability for vehicle control, connected car, and self-driving systems from concept through production.

Serve as the primary DfR expert for hardware design and architecture teams, establishing design guidelines, identifying electronic failure modes, and defining standard countermeasures.

Develop validation strategies, physics-of-failure-based reliability specifications, and accelerated testing methods to expand reliability margins and stress design boundaries.

Lead root-cause failure investigations using first-principles thinking, collaborating with internal engineering teams, suppliers, and failure analysis laboratories to define and verify corrective actions.

Audit Contract Manufacturers on-site during development phases to ensure DFMEA and PFMEA recommendations are properly implemented.

Analyze fleet and field data to proactively detect emerging risks, using insights to inform design standards for future Electronic Control Unit (ECU) programs.
