Reliability Engineer
Responsibilities:
- Define the overall Reliability Planning and Test strategy for systems, instrument subsystems, and components.
- Define appropriate reliability requirements for New Product Development and Sustaining projects.
- Generate and maintain reliability and life cycle models to support system design and test.
- Develop and execute appropriate engineering tests, DoE, Accelerated life tests, Reliability Demonstration Tests etc. for complex electro-mechanical fluidic IVD equipment/systems with the assistance of other test engineers, and technicians.
- Evaluate test results, write test reports, investigate failures, analyse performance problems, define root causes, recommend corrective actions, monitor field quality data and associated metrics such as failure rates and MTBF.
- Conduct failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA) of system level and sub-system level designs.
- Utilize predictive analytical methods including modelling, historical learning, industry data as well as engineering test data analysis to predict reliability, influence design decisions and define key parameters that should be monitored in the field.
- Work closely with Systems Engineers, Instrument Engineers, Assay Developers and Software Developers in all aspects of product development
