ABOUT THIS FEATURED OPPORTUNITYJoin a team developing next-generation systems where reliability is critical to mission success. This is a highly hands-on role that offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge optical hardware, collaborate across engineering disciplines, and directly influence product quality, qualification, and long-term performance. You'll play a key role in ensuring advanced optical systems can withstand demanding environmental conditions and meet stringent reliability requirements.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
As a Reliability Test Engineer, you will develop and execute reliability test plans for optical systems, components, and assemblies. You'll work closely with design, manufacturing, quality, and reliability teams to perform environmental testing including thermal cycling, vibration, HALT/HASS, and life testing.
On a day-to-day basis, you'll operate environmental test equipment, analyze reliability data, investigate failures, perform root cause analysis, and provide recommendations that improve product performance and reliability. You'll utilize statistical reliability methods such as Weibull analysis and acceleration modeling to support lifetime predictions and qualification efforts while contributing to Design for Reliability (DfR) initiatives across the product lifecycle.
