Reliability Engineer- Design for Reliability

Reliability Engineer

Molex is seeking a motivated and organized Reliability Engineer with reliability analysis background to join the Design for Reliability (DfR) team.

Reliability Engineer's main responsibility would be working with customers and building test and validation plans.

In addition, work with design engineers and design accelerated stress tests, to evaluate product reliability based on physics-of-failure (PoF) from simulations and providing design feedback to meet reliability goals.

In this role you will


* Develop and execute reliability test plans to validate product designs, including accelerated life testing, environmental stress testing, and other relevant tests to ensure that products meet or exceed customer requirements for reliability and durability.


* Align reliability tests with customer requirements & Expectations.



* Interface with Molex Customers & internal stake holders regarding testing requirements.


* Engage with customer specification evolution and support proposed deviations.


* Creation of strong relationship with Customer Reliability Engineers to share and build appropriate reliability test methods and associated validity criteria.

Conduct reliability analysis, perform risk assessments to identify potential failure modes and recommend mitigation strategies using techniques such as:


* Reliability modeling and prediction to assess expected field performance


* FIT/MTTF/MTBF analysis


* Stress vs strength analysis


* Degradation analysis


* Assess product lifetime using analysis such as Weibull analysis


* Physics of Failure to determine and eliminate root cause of issues

Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, and quality, to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve reliability issues.

Develop and maintain reliability models, including Weibull and exponential distribution, to predict product reliability and estimate product life.

Develop and implement reliability improvement initiatives, including statistical process control, root cause analysis, and corrective and preventive actions.
• Analyze test results, identify trends and patterns, and generate reports to communicate findings to relevant stakeholders.


* Develop and maintain reliability reports and documentation, including failure analysis reports, reliability predictions, and test results.

Preferred Qualifications


* Bachelor's degree in: Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical or Systems Engineering from an accredited institution.


* 3+ years of Reliability experience in reliability analysis, reliability prediction methods and accelerated life testing.


* Knowledge of key standards used in reliability engineering, such as MIL, JEDEC, IPC & IEC

• Experience with reliability testing and data analysis tools, such as Weibull++, Reliasoft, nCode and Minitab.
