## About the role

You will be the founding reliability engineering hire, owning whether our product survives in the field. Our wearable goes onto people's heads for hours a day. It charges over USB-C, lives in pockets and bags, gets sweated on, dropped, and travels through every climate. Your job is to make sure it works, keeps working, and meets every safety, regulatory, and quality bar that consumer electronics require.

## What they're looking for

- Must-Haves
- 10+ years of reliability engineering for consumer hardware, with at least one shipped product where you owned reliability from concept through field
- Deep working knowledge of consumer-electronics qualification standards (IEC 60068, IEC 61000, JEDEC, IPC) and the regional certifications landscape (FCC Part 15, CE/RED, IC RSS, plus battery and body-worn specifics)
- Experience designing accelerated life tests and applying statistical reliability methods (Weibull analysis, acceleration models, sample-size design)
- Demonstrated experience driving design-for-reliability with EE, ME, and FW leads: FMEA leadership, design reviews, and embedding reliability discipline upstream
- Comfortable owning external lab relationships, certification projects, and CM-side reliability gates
