Job Description
Primary function of position:
We are looking for a talented individual to join our growing Reliability Data & Modeling team focused on innovative approaches to reliability and life testing. This role has the opportunity to work creatively with a team of mixed disciplines including SW FW SA EE in addition to the reliability and mechanical engineers.
The primary function of this position is to make/review/improve/execute current plans for automated and semiautomated system/subsystems reliability testing. This includes design procurement and assembly of test fixtures and SW scripts required to limit human interactions throughout the reliability tests. Other important task is to lead/support current efforts by the design team for bench testing critical components and subsystems. The successful candidate must have a strong curiosity for how the system is performing its critical functions also must be hands on with automation/control and data acquisition concepts and tools. He/she must be able to work with EE/FW SW ME RE and mechatronics engineers to not only understand the current inhouse approaches to testing but also recommend improvements that paves the way for fulfilling the new vision.
He/she must have a proven trackrecord of automated test fixture development for medical capital and/or consumable equipment and extreme curiosity of the unexplored or unexplained great attention to details no fear of incomplete/developing specification and design documents and most importantly a passion to learn new things.
Job Description:
The reliability team charter includes but not limited to implementation of proactive reliability approaches during product development. The team provides vital guidance to ME SW FW HW and SA teams for datadriven design and operation decisions. The team also regularly analyzes field data from previous generation of the product to identify improvement opportunities for both legacy and future products.
The reliability engineer will contribute to the highlevel strategies of the reliability team regarding testing and failure data collection and analysis. The reliability engineer will be responsible for the followings:
- Review functional and reliability requirements of systems/subsystems to plan reliability/life tests that help evaluate the short/ long term compliance with the specs.
- Design procure and assemble test fixtures to limit/eliminate the need for human intervention during the tests
- Test fixture design covers the mechanical & electrical parts as well as control platforms algorithms & SW
- Work closely with SW FM IT and data team to enable automatic data collection during the system test. This includes the system logs and other critical info such as temperature vibration noise that may not be available directly from the system
- Modify/ develop the SW scripts necessary to run automated tests that cover the required subset of the system operational profile
- Plan interim quality and performance inspection required to verify integrity of the system/components critical functions during the test
- Work closely with quality regulatory and document control to properly document and release the test fixtures if used for finished products and features
- Provide regular reports on the status tests regarding cumulative test hours total number and nature of the failure events
- Regular triage of the failure data with the design team for full blown root cause analysis towards design improvement
- Plan and execute accelerated and highly accelerated life tests for components and subsystems this may include critical accessories and instruments
- DOE for performance tests to help engineering design and manufacturing team with required gage R&R variability and capability analysis
Qualifications :
Skill/Job Requirements:
- Strong written and oral communication skills
- Minimum Masters (Ph.D. Preferred) in mechanical or reliability engineering or other related engineering fields with direct work experience
- Minimum 3 years of work experience in reliability/life testing of medical capital/consumer equipment and instruments
- Hands on with statistical tools such as JMP Minitab DOE Weibull ALTA GoldSim
- Strong skills in manipulating big data (SQL python excel)
- Experience in programming (MATLAB Python C/C)
- Direct experience with accelerated/ highly accelerated life test design and analysis
- Hands on with data acquisition tools and techniques for measuring electrical and physical phenomenon such as voltage current torque force pressure or sounds
- Hands on with NI DAQs or similar platforms for PCbased control and automation
- Hands on with common servo systems including brushed and brushless DC motors feedback device/encoders and the controller
- Hands on with vibration measurement and analysis techniques in both time and frequency domains including peak RMS FFT PSD and Spectrogram analysis
