Reliability Engineer, Energy Storage

Redwood Materials is looking for a Reliability Engineer to define system reliability requirements, generate damage models, and characterize the reliability of their new product. The role involves working cross-functionally to define requirements, analyze designs, and design tests to meet high reliability standards in real-world conditions.

Requirements

• Define and own the reliability strategy for hardware products with complex printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and electromechanical systems
• Plan and execute reliability tests such as HALT, thermal cycling, vibration, drop, humidity, ingress protection (IP) testing, and power cycling
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define design-for-reliability (DfR) requirements and drive root cause analysis for test failures
• Track reliability KPIs and deliver reliability insights to guide design improvements and product decisions
• Develop accelerated life test models and support FMEA and DFMEA processes
• Analyze reliability data using Weibull, log-normal, and other statistical models to predict field performance
• Work closely with engineering teams to establish reliability gates through program stages (A/B/C/D)
• Support failure analysis (FA) efforts using tools like X-ray, cross-sectioning, and SEM/EDX to identify failure mechanisms in PCBAs
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts across reliability processes, lab capabilities, and test methodologies
• Author reports / document findings

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work in a dynamic and fast-paced setting
• Chance to shape a new department at Redwood Materials
