Play a critical role in the development of new life science technology as a reliability engineer in the R&D group. Provide hands-on, analytical, and reliability expertise to support engineering programs associated with the development of complex instruments. Work in a team environment to assess and improve product reliability throughout the design process. Manage reliability projects by implementing tests, analyzing data, assessing reliability risks, and reporting accurate information to stakeholders.

• Lead and monitor multiple reliability projects.
• Provide reliability risk assessments to cross-functional teams and executive leadership.
• Create and implement test plans to effectively mitigate risks in new product designs.
• Facilitate and direct multidisciplinary discussions to evaluate technical risk through FMEA.
• Leverage internal and external resources to complete reliability test plans.
• Record, organize, and manage large amounts of detailed test data.
• Methodically analyze test data and interpret results for critical reliability decision-making.
• Troubleshoot instrument failures and/or reliability issues as necessary.
• Direct, execute, and document root cause investigations.
• Guide the team to corrective action identification, implementation, and validation.
• Escalate top issues by providing clear, well-structured, high-level updates.
• Provide engineering input for new designs to ensure reliable and robust products.

• Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in engineering or related discipline required.
• Minimum of 5 years of reliability engineering experience or experience performing tests to collect experimental data and performing statistical analyses to interpret results. (2 years may be substituted with advanced degree in engineering or related discipline)
• Knowledge of reliability fundamentals and understanding of reliability analysis (i.e., life predictions, product life modeling, root cause analysis, environmental testing, accelerated testing, etc.)
• Applies technical standards, principles, concepts, and techniques to solve problems.
• Willingness to work in BSL2 lab
• Willingness to prepare blood samples for testing (training will be provided).

In addition to the above minimum qualifications, the following are considered highly desirable:

• Knowledge of fluidic, optical, and/or electro-mechanical systems.
• Experience with test automation (Lab View, Arduino, etc.).
• Experience utilizing FMEA to guide team discussions and priorities.
• Statistical knowledge, especially related to six sigma tools and methodology, design of experiments, and reliability modelling.
• Experience managing large sets of data using data processing tools such as Minitab, MATLAB, JMP, or R.
