Senior Hardware Test and Reliability Engineer at Skydio · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Autonomous systems bring together electronics hardware, sensing, and real-time AI software. The complexity of the systems combined with the fact they can move freely in the real world, makes the development, performance, and reliability testing strategy a key element of delivering a great product.
We are seeking a driven and versatile Senior Hardware Test and Reliability Engineer to help drive safety and reliability initiatives, develop and execute test plans that enable rapid design iteration and robust product validation for state-of-the-art autonomous flying machines servicing a broad range of enterprise, public safety, and defense applications.
How you will make an impact:
Work with product development, embedded software, quality, manufacturing, and suppliers to define and execute comprehensive test strategies from early prototyping stages through volume production, enabling earliest possible discovery of failure modes for complex electro-mechanical autonomous systems
Lead technical test strategy and own validation planning, execution and risk management from early prototypes through volume production
Collaborate with electrical, mechanical and software engineering teams to perform failure analysis, identify root cause, implement corrective actions, resolve system issues, and help develop process/design mitigations
Contribute to design reviews and provide key design for reliability inputs to mitigate risks from first prototypes to first customer shipment and beyond
A keen interest in contributing across multiple domains to make Skydio products the default choice for users in challenging environments
Immerse yourself in massive data sets from developmental flight telemetry and robust customer analytics to identify problems before they occur, perform risk assessments, develop prognostic and conditioned based maintenance protocols, and anchor our reliability test specs firmly data
Useful skills and experience:
Deep curiosity with 6+ years experience hands-on testing, development and delivery of highly reliable complex electro-mechanical systems with an emphasis on high density PCBA test engineering and debug
Proven experience leading technical validation programs end-to-end, with accountability for test strategy, execution quality, and overall system readiness
