## About the role

As our fleet grows, we need to know how long every part of our robots will last, and why the ones that fail early do. You'll be our first reliability engineer. You'll set reliability targets for the robot, measure them against real fleet and factory data, run the life testing that tells us where we stand, and personally tear down failed hardware to prove the root cause. You report to the Head of Manufacturing and have the authority to hold any robot that isn't ready to ship. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Robotics or Computer Engineering
- 4+ years as a reliability engineer on electromechanical products (robotics, automation, automotive, aerospace, medical devices or similar)
- Hands-on reliability analysis: Weibull or life data analysis, MTBF/failure-rate modeling and reliability growth
- You've designed and run accelerated life or stress testing (ALT, HALT/HASS) and used the results to change a design or a supplier
- You've personally torn down failed hardware and driven it to a verified root cause, not by changing code or filing paperwork
- Experience with DFMEA and FRACAS
