Responsibilities
Translate product reliability requirements and specifications into detailed test protocols and pass/fail criteria
Develop and implement mechanical, thermal, electrical, and environmental loads/stresses (e.g., vibration, shock, thermal cycling, humidity, electrical stress) required by the protocols
Plan and execute Reliability Demonstration Testing, Characterization Testing, and Ongoing Reliability Testing to validate product robustness across development and production lifecycle
Design, build, and validate custom test fixtures and test rigs to enable repeatable, controlled testing
Develop and maintain test automation and scripting for test setup, execution, data logging, and analysis (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, or equivalent)
Execute hands-on testing, monitor test runs, and ensure data integrity and traceability
Analyze test data, produce summary reports, and present findings to engineering and program teams
Document and report issues discovered during testing; create reproducible problem descriptions, supporting data and test artifacts
Triage issues to the appropriate project teams or Failure Analysis (FA) groups and support root-cause investigations as required
Maintain and calibrate test equipment and laboratory documentation; ensure test safety and compliance with internal standards and external regulations
Collaborate cross-functionally with design, manufacturing, quality, and FA to close reliability issues and feed lessons learned back into the product development cycle
