Robotics Reliability Engineer - Motors, Mechanisms and Electronics

Overview

Matic is bringing families out of the stone age of remarkably dumb disc home robots. Humanity spends roughly 2.5 trillion hours annually on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value. We are on a mission to recapture this time and value with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall‑E–esque home robots that families love and cannot fathom living without.

• As a senior reliability engineer on the team, you will be responsible for driving all the reliability requirements across different sub‑systems.
• Work with design engineers to understand the physics of failure and apply them to designing accelerated test methods that represent field behaviors.
• Oversee the design and build of test setups for different loading scenarios – fatigue, vibration and shock, temperature and humidity, etc.
• Perform root‑cause failure analysis at different stages of testing.
• Prepare concise and detailed test plans, drive test execution, analyze test reports, and present results to all relevant stakeholders.
• Create and manage fleet analytics pipelines to systematically identify and eliminate field failures.
• Lead design initiatives that require particularly detailed reliability‑oriented testing and analysis.
• Strengthen DFR practices while acting in a cross‑disciplinary fashion spanning all functions of mechanical, electrical and software engineering.

• Technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent.
• 2–5 years of work experience in a reliability engineering position.
• Track record of defining reliability targets and test plans for consumer electronic products.
• Experience driving the design of test setups for reliability testing.
• Statistical experience such as Weibull or familiarity with different accelerated test models.
• Solid understanding of Design of Experiments (DOE) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA).
• Comfort with a fast‑paced, startup atmosphere – you don’t shy away from the hard work.
• High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work.

• Genuinely motivated to help those around you.
• Passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones.
• Love diagnosing complex technical issues.
• Excited to do great work.
