MGR II Qlty & Reliability Engineering

For more than 80 years, our client’s engineers and product specialists have partnered with customers to produce highly engineered connectivity and sensing solutions that make a connected world possible. Their focus on reliability, durability, and sustainability exemplifies their commitment to progress. The unmatched range of their product portfolio enables companies, large and small, to turn ideas into technology that can transform how the world works and lives tomorrow.

Responsibilities:

• Primary responsibility for developing and driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) Methodologies for all Power Products.
• Drive a DFSS culture, one of innovation, constant learning, and continuous improvement that aspires to deliver "First Time Right"; provide product development and DFSS training, coaching, and mentoring to product design teams to create a world class product development organization.
• Drive excellence in Design for Reliability ensuring comprehensive utilization of modeling and simulation, structured DOE approaches, robust product validation including HALT/HAST and Test to Failure (TTF) methodologies. Oversee integrating reliability considerations during technology & product evaluation, NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec (Mission Profile) through Product Release into mass production; will have T&V Plan + Reliability Test Plan Finalization Authority for Power Products.
• Partner with PDE’s to quickly produce and evaluate first samples to expedite speed to market and drive fast and iterative product design improvements; drive Early Concept Testing identifying potential weaknesses and failure mechanisms in the product design and validating all improvements through testing and capability analysis.
• Work very closely with MPDE about Process Developments and Equipment Developments, developing comprehensive test plans to ensure capability to six sigma standards and driving world-class Simultaneous Engineering (Concurrent Engineering).
• Support Mfg Quality with failure analysis (F/A) and Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) of line scrap and customer returns as well as competitive benchmarking activities.
• Lead the identification of special testing needs and requirements and partner with Global R&T COE to develop Custom Test Equipment, Tests & Test Specifications. Oversee all application testing for Power Products.
• Drive high performance organization by providing your team routine coaching and feedback, holding your team accountable to meet performance objectives, and providing meaningful development to increase individual/team capability. 
• Manage employee well-being by prioritizing work, effectively managing resource loading, and providing flexibility to enable employees to successfully balance their work and personal lives.
• Drive organization effectiveness by structuring your organization in a way that best enables the BU strategy, maximizes resource efficiency and productivity, and provides role clarity and clear lines of accountability.
• Manage the talent in your organization to support the business now and to proactively prepare for the future by identifying organization skillset/role gaps, implementing plans to fill any skillset/role gaps, and assessing current talent fit to ensure the right talent is matched to the right roles to best meet the needs of the business.

Requirements:

• Bachelor/ Master’s degree in technical discipline (Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics)
• 10+ years of Experience in all aspects of reliability engineering for electronic or mechatronics products from reliability estimation to reliability calculation and risk identification.
• Must also have many years of experience working with test equipment, test systems, test labs, development and deployment of HALT/HAST testing, Test & Validation Plans, development of custom test systems and performing “application tests.” Must have a good balance between theory and practice.
• Experience interacting with global cross-functional engineering teams in multi-site global organization.
• Excellent English, both verbal and written, and the ability to interact professionally with customers, leadership, stakeholders, cross functional teams and subject matter experts.
• Exceptional analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills and ability to make decisions when presented with a series of challenges, conflicts and constraints. Ability to drive to big picture goals and milestones while valuing and maintaining strong attention to the details.
• Knowledge on FIT estimation methodology, statistical analysis for reliability calculation such as Weibull-analysis or 2-statistics, application of Bayes theorem, random failure principle, FMEDA, FTA
• Reliability Engineering training from company, ASQ, TUV, Reliasoft or equivalent
• Experience with custom product development, working closely with customers to define mission profile of the end application and optimizing reliability strategy based on customer needs.
• Experience in running statistical analysis for reliability calculation for mechatronic products.
• A high curiosity in understanding how systems/products work along with a reverse engineering mindset.
• Willingness to travel as required, ~20%
