- Perform failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA, FMEDA), Weibull analysis, and fault tree analysis
- Define and monitor reliability metrics such as MTBF, MTTR, and failure rates
- Conduct accelerated life testing and analyze design performance statistically
- Apply probabilistic risk assessment methods like Monte Carlo simulations and Bayesian inference
- Create models to evaluate system risk across various behaviors and scenarios
- Support safety case development and ensure compliance with relevant safety standards
- Analyze fleet and validation data to identify failure trends and degradation
- Collaborate on predictive maintenance tools, dashboards, and fault detection models
- Assist in incident investigations, certification processes, and continuous improvement initiatives
Requirements
- Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems, Reliability, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field
- At least 5 years of experience in reliability engineering or risk analysis in autonomous or safety-critical systems
- Strong skills in Python, R, MATLAB, or similar software for statistical modeling
- Familiarity with standards such as ISO 26262, MIL-STD-882, IEC 61508
- Deep understanding of risk and reliability methods, e.g., hazard rates, survival analysis
- Experience working with large datasets to drive insights
- Excellent communication skills and strong organizational and project management abilities
- Ability to develop and execute reliability strategies for components and systems
- Experience performing FMEA, FMEDA, Weibull analysis, and fault tree analysis
- Ability to define reliability metrics such as MTBF, MTTR, and failure rates and lead root cause investigations
- Experience conducting accelerated life testing and assessing design performance statistically
- Ability to apply probabilistic risk methods like Monte Carlo simulations and Bayesian inference
- Developing models to evaluate risk across system behaviors and scenarios
- Supporting safety case development and ensuring compliance with ISO 26262, ISO 21448, UL4600
- Analyzing validation and fleet data to detect trends, failure precursors, and degradation
- Collaborating on predictive maintenance tools, dashboards, and fault detection models
- Working closely with cross-functional teams to integrate reliability into all development stages
- Supporting incident investigations, certification processes, and continuous improvement efforts
