KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

A. Reliability Test Strategy & Development

  • Define Test Plans: Develop comprehensive Design Verification Plans (DVP&R) and reliability test profiles tailored for power electronics, PCBs, and electro-mechanical systems.
  • Accelerated Testing: Architect and execute Accelerated Life Testing (ALT), Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) to simulate years of field operation in a fraction of the time.
  • Environmental & Stress Testing: Define test protocols for thermal management, vibration, humidity, and electrical stress conditions (e.g., voltage surges, short circuits).
  • Standards Compliance: Ensure all test methodologies align with global industry standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, UL, CISPR for EMC).

B. Design & Risk Analysis

  • DFMEA/FMECA: Facilitate and review Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) to identify single-point failures and potential design risks early in the New Product Development (NPD) lifecycle.
  • Physics of Failure (PoF): Utilize PoF analysis to understand degradation mechanisms in power components (IGBTs, MOSFETs, capacitors) used in inverters.
  • Life Modeling: Apply mathematical modeling and statistical methods (e.g., Weibull, Arrhenius models) to predict product life and estimate Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

C. Failure Analysis & Continuous Improvement

  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead systematic problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D, Fault Tree Analysis/FTA) to investigate lab and field failures.
  • Corrective Actions: Define permanent corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and evaluate the design changes to eliminate warranty issues.
  • Field-to-Lab Correlation: Gather warranty and field data to correlate real-world usage profiles with lab test conditions.

D. Leadership & Consultation

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with hardware, firmware, and mechanical design teams to incorporate Design-for-Reliability (DfR) best practices.
  • Technical Mentorship: Provide expert consultation to junior engineers and test technicians regarding test setups, data acquisition, and interpretation of results.
  • Supplier Quality: Work with the procurement and supply chain teams to evaluate the reliability of critical electronic components and define supplier test requirements.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related field.
  • Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in reliability engineering, product testing, or hardware design within industrial automation, HVAC, or power electronics (Inverters/VFDs).
  • Technical Skills: 
      – Deep understanding of power module physics, thermal dynamics, and control electronics.
      – Proficiency with reliability software tools (e.g., ReliaSoft, Minitab) and statistical analysis.
      – Familiarity with climatic chambers, vibration shakers, and power analyzers.
  • Soft Skills: Excellent problem-solving skills, strong executive communication, and the ability to drive alignment across global teams.
