Senior Reliability Engineer - FMECA & Accelerated Life Testing

Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Reliability Engineer with strong hands-on experience in component-level FMECA and accelerated life testing to support product reliability and lifecycle performance. This role is responsible for identifying reliability risks early in the development lifecycle, quantifying those risks using established standards, and driving mitigation through targeted testing and design improvements.

The Senior Reliability Engineer will collaborate closely with design engineers, material scientists, test laboratories, and program managers to ensure reliability objectives are met across programs.
Key Responsibilities
Reliability & Risk Analysis
  • Create, maintain, and update component- and sub-assembly-level FMECA worksheets in accordance with MIL-STD-1629A, IEC 60812, or equivalent standards
  • Identify failure modes, causes, and effects on system-level performance
  • Assign severity, occurrence, detection, and criticality rankings
  • Define and document risk mitigation strategies
  • Update FMECA results throughout the product development lifecycle and capture lessons learned
Testing & Validation
  • Develop accelerated life test (ALT) plans to validate product reliability and lifecycle performance
  • Define acceleration factors using models such as Arrhenius, Coffin-Manson, and related physics-of-failure approaches
  • Specify and interpret test methods using ASTM, IEC, and MIL standards
  • Coordinate and oversee test execution with internal and external laboratories
  • Analyze test results and translate data into actionable reliability insights
Collaboration & Communication
  • Partner with engineering and program teams to identify and mitigate reliability risks early
  • Support design reviews with data-driven reliability assessments
  • Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations
  • Present findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • 3-5 years of hands-on experience in Reliability Engineering
  • Demonstrated expertise in component-level FMECA and accelerated aging / thermal cycling tests
  • Proficiency with reliability standards such as MIL-STD-1629A, IEC 60812, or equivalent
  • Strong knowledge of failure physics, degradation mechanisms, and material behavior under stress
  • Experience developing and interpreting test plans using ASTM, IEC, or MIL test methods
  • Strong root cause analysis, risk assessment, and data interpretation skills
  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent analyses and test programs while maintaining documentation control
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical writing and formal presentations
Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Qualifications
  • Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools such as Cameo
  • Hands-on experience with reliability and statistical software:
    • ReliaSoft / Weibull++ / ANSYS Reliability
    • Minitab, R, or Python
  • Practical, hands-on experience with hardware testing and troubleshooting
  • Experience managing subcontractors or external reliability test vendors
  • Strong analytical mindset with a demonstrated ability to solve complex engineering problems
