Responsibilities

• Develop reliability performance metrics and lead management reviews to review progress against those metrics. Lead reliability test planning, methodology, and execution for all aspects of the product.
  
• Lead the failure analysis process with internal and external cross-functional teams for all failures discovered during reliability testing.
  
• Work in reliability test labs and collaborate closely with Test Engineers.
  
• Perform field data analysis, lead reliability testing to real world usage correlation studies, and drive the continuous improvement and refinement of reliability performance metrics.
  
• Translate product management reliability goals into appropriate testable goals and perform statistical data analysis, Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) and modeling, and risk assessments.
