Robotics Reliability Engineer - Motors, Mechanisms and Electronics

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Partner with design engineers to understand the physics of failure and design accelerated test methods that represent real field behavior
• Run DFMEA and set reliability targets early, predicting failure modes before launch and specifying the tests, sample sizes, durations, and acceleration factors needed to prove the design out
• Collaborate with our reliability design engineers to design and build test setups for different loading scenarios such as fatigue, vibration and shock, and temperature and humidity
• Monitor every way our robots fail in the field, across support tickets, social media, returns, and telemetry, and tear down returned units to find failures the customer never reported
• Own and track the full catalog of field and potential failure modes across the fleet, and drive each one to resolution through either testing or a design change
• Build and own the analytics on motor and sensor telemetry that surface where features and parts are failing at scale
• Perform root cause failure analysis at every stage, from early bench testing through field returns
• Prepare concise and detailed test plans, drive test execution, analyze test reports, and present results to all relevant stakeholders
