Own Design for Reliability (DFR) for the XFRA node: set reliability targets and mission profiles for outdoor residential and commercial sites; create and maintain DFMEA/XFMEA across thermal, electrical, mechanical, fluid, and systems interfaces.

Plan and drive reliability testing appropriate to the node: thermal and power cycling, liquid-cooling loop durability (coolant, seals, pumps, heat exchangers), environmental stress (temperature extremes, humidity, dust, UV), vibration, and accelerated life methods that map to real site conditions.

Analyze test and early field data with statistical methods; convert results into design requirements, derating guidance, supplier actions, and corrective/preventive changes.

Lead or guide root-cause investigations on prototype and early-field failures; ensure findings result in concrete design, component, or process changes.

Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, electrical, firmware, and certification engineers on system-level risks (heat-pump cooling, battery integration, outdoor enclosure, SPAN Panel power interface, serviceability).

Support development of test methods and lab capability for outdoor liquid-cooled compute hardware; manage external test partners where needed.

Contribute to serviceability and maintainability targets so field repair remains practical as the install base grows.
