Job Description

The Staff Design-for-Reliability Engineer will support development teams across assigned R&T projects to ensure reliability is designed into DDN products. The role involves close collaboration with internal engineering teams and, when required, customers to execute reliability plans aligned with the stage-gate development process.



From design verification through product validation, the Staff Engineer will plan, execute, and analyze reliability tests, including accelerated and stress-based methods such as HALT and HAST. Based on test data, the engineer will identify potential reliability risks, failure modes, and weak design or process elements, and work with cross-functional teams to support corrective actions.

The role emphasizes hands-on reliability engineering, data analysis, and application of structured reliability methodologies (e.g., DFSS, Robust Design) to support data-driven decisions and ensure DDN products meet reliability and customer requirements.

Job Requirements

Education & Experience

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, or related technical discipline 10-16 years of experience in reliability engineering for automotive electronics, mechatronics, or similar complex products

Technical Skills

Working knowledge of reliability estimation and risk identification methods Experience with FIT estimation methodologies and reliability calculations Knowledge of statistical reliability tools such as Weibull analysis, ? statistics, basic Bayesian methods Understanding of FMEDA, FTA, random failure principles Experience executing accelerated life tests (ALT), HALT, HAST, and test-to-failure evaluations Gage R&R, MSA, Process Capability Studies

Other Skills

Exposure to customer-facing reliability discussions (with support from senior/manager-level engineers) Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail Curiosity to understand system behavior and failure mechanisms Good verbal and written communication skills; able to work effectively in cross-functional teams Willingness to travel as required (~15-20%)

We Value


DFSS / Six Sigma Green Belt certification (or working toward certification) Familiarity with industry standards such as EIA-364, IPC standards, UL component-level standards Basic knowledge of data center architectures, connectors, wire harnesses, busbars, or high-speed interconnects Exposure to product development environment which includes design, testing and manufacturing. Basic scripting or data analysis skills (e.g., Python, Excel automation, Minitab)

Job Responsibilities

Support the design-in of reliability for DDN products from concept through validation Contribute to requirement engineering by understanding load conditions, mission profiles, and environmental stresses Execute reliability test plans aligned with project phase and customer requirements Conduct accelerated testing, stress testing, and test-to-failure evaluations under guidance of senior or manager-level engineers Analyze reliability test data and identify failure modes, risks, and design limitations Perform initial FIT estimations using applicable standards and support final FIT calculations based on test results Assist in defining validation strategies based on application and customer mission profiles Support CAPA activities by analyzing failures and contributing to mitigation and corrective action plans Participate in design reviews and prepare reliability-related inputs and documentation Maintain and update reliability test data, models, and reports in shared databases Collaborate with material, component, and process experts to evaluate reliability improvements Communicate reliability findings clearly within project teams and support customer discussions when required
