Description
As a Materials Reliability Engineer, you will assess material-level reliability risks of new product designs; and work with materials engineering and process teams to perform failure analysis, and to push for design and process mitigations and controls.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in technical field (Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, etc) with 3+ years of industry experience Understanding of how material properties, processing, and structure impact product performance. Our team works on a range of materials. An expertise in a particular material area is not required, as long as you are able to dive deep into learning about a new material space quickly Experience working in, or collaborating with, a lab environment with a focus on understanding root cause of material failures Experience using statistical data analysis, and the ability to communicate results from analyses clearly Ability to identify failure root cause and potential corrective actions, utilizing results from multiple data sources Ability to travel internationally without restriction as needed (less than 20% of the year)
Preferred Qualifications
M.S. or PhD in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Familiarity with failure characterizations techniques (Optical Microscopy, X-ray/CT, Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, etc.), and the ability to use failure analysis methodology to derive failure root cause Experience with Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) and reliability prediction modeling Experience with statistical tools such as Weibull, JMP, or familiarity with accelerated test models Familiarity with one of the following material types: anodized aluminum, titanium, precision glass, PVD coatings, optical materials Interest in developing new tests and methodologies for replicating and validating complex failure modes Collaborative approach to working with other teams
