PRINICIPAL ENGINEER - RELIABILITY

The Design-for-Reliability Engineer will interact with best-in-class development teams in the assigned projects. She/He will collaborate with customers and internal team to develop the appropriate reliability plan. DDN products are developed based on a stage gate approach.
During the following phases of the projects, from design verification up to product validation, the Design -for-Reliability Engineer will determine the appropriate test strategy to collect data using destructive Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT) or Highly Accelerated Stress Tests (HAST) technics to evaluate product reliability. Based on collected data and in close collaboration with development team, she/he will identify weak design/process features or components and associated corrective action plans. She/he will get engaged with material and component experts to evaluate improvements of the corrective actions by technics such a stress/accelerated screening.
The Design-for-Reliability Engineer will leverage a reliability approach as defined in structured development approach such as Design for Six Sigma and Robust Design principles. She/he master reliability data source, stress acceleration models, ALT and Test to Failure analysis and other reliability tools in order to drive data decision based to ensure reliability of DDN products meet customer needs.
