Job Description

As a Reliability Engineer in MRL, you will take a critical role in bringing reliable new technologies to our augmented, mixed, and virtual reality products. You will collaborate with a large breadth of cross-functional disciplines to understand emerging designs and technologies. You will be responsible for identifying risks associated with these various technologies and architectures. You will be responsible for identifying appropriate stresses that our products must pass and creating test plans which will be used to assess the reliability of our products. You will be responsible for producing accurate reliability analyses in a timely manner. You will be responsible for providing suggestions to improve the reliability of our products. We are looking for someone who can wear multiple hats depending on the task at hand. The ideal candidate has a "can do" attitude with a strong background in reliability engineering, high attention to detail, thirst for knowledge, and an inherent interest in all aspects of engineering.

Reliability Engineer Responsibilities:

• Develop reliability requirements at system and module level for consumer facing hardware
• Lead stress characterization of appropriate usage conditions
• Lead and document FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis)
• Develop acceleration models and accelerated tests capturing the Physics of Failure
• Develop new reliability test specifications, procedures and appropriate test plans
• Expertise in driving root cause analysis and design of experiments (DOE)
• In-depth research into applicable failure mechanisms
• Contribute to failure analysis and use correct methodology to identify root cause of failures
• Expertise in reliability testing and analysis through product lifecycle (Cradle-to-Grave)
• Provide accurate and in-depth statistical analysis
• Prepare detailed and concise reliability reports
• Influence cross-functional teams to implement mitigations for reliability risks
• Provide Design of Reliability and Architectural evaluations of new product categories
• International travel, up to 20%
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 10 years of experience in reliability engineering
