Develop and Implement reliability testing plans for key products, including Highly Accelerated Life Tests (HALT), environmental tests, and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)
Creates reliability testing framework that replicates typical field service life cycle using accelerate life testing methods
Analyze failure data from tests and field performance to identify trends and root causes
Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) to develop corrective and preventative actions
Identify opportunities for improving product reliability, quality, and durability through data analysis
Develop and maintain production validation test plans, instructions, and test scripts to ensure product durability and performance
Collect, process, and analyze test room(s)/system performance and reliability data
Develop and present reliability reports to stakeholders, highlighting findings and recommending improvements
Work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and quality to integrate reliability principles into product development including performance testing in the development and qualification of next generation products
Validates changes to manufacturing process does not impact overall life of product
Completes root cause analysis for early life failures associated with customer complaints
Work with engineering and quality to define, measure, and record necessary metrics (key performance variables) for product testing; maintaining testing and other necessary records
Service and repair of product testing apparatus
