  • Guide the engineering teams on failure modes, typical countermeasures for reliability failures, and design guidelines. Provide risk analysis to guide design decisions.
  • Monitor field performance and identify trends in failure.
  • Leading and facilitating FMEAs with cross-functional teams and developing design verification plans from these activities.

What You Will Bring

  • Minimum Bachelor of Science in an engineering discipline or equivalent. Five or more years of industry experience in a reliability engineering role.
  • Technical knowledge of one or more aspects related to PCBA reliability, energy storage systems, drive units, and chassis components.
  • Working knowledge of a coding language, preferably Python.

  • Experience with deploying reliability testing guidelines and inventing new ways of testing.
  • Ability to use FEA software (Eg. Ansys Sherlock) for product life prediction in creation of reliability tests .

The salary for this position ranges from $220,000 to $255,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

Why ALSO.

We’re passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed.

We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in the technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces.

Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.
