Job Description:

Work Model: Flex On‑Site (4 days onsite / 1 day remote; 5 days onsite optional)

Contract Length: Initial 6‑month contract with a strong likelihood of extension

Rate: $60-68/hr

This Reliability Engineer role differs from traditional reliability positions. The ideal candidate is proactive and hands-on—someone who actively seeks out data, collaborates closely with cross‑functional teams, and drives reliability improvements rather than passively reporting metrics. Reliability is viewed as a shared responsibility, requiring strong partnership with design, manufacturing, and engineering stakeholders.

• Evaluate materials, components, systems, and manufacturing techniques from a reliability perspective
• Apply reliability best practices, including failure physics, accelerated testing, and scientific test design
• Develop and execute reliability test plans, FMEAs, and reliability models
• Advise design engineering on component selection, application, and testing strategies
• Recommend design, process, or test changes to improve system and product reliability
• Define reliability requirements for components and systems to meet internal, customer, and regulatory objectives
• Develop or apply acceleration techniques and analytical tools to identify reliability risks early in the product lifecycle
• Present findings and recommendations to engineering leadership and executive stakeholders (with support as needed)
• Influence design teams toward reliability improvements without direct authority

Required Knowledge:

• Reliability engineering best practices
• Applied failure physics
• Mechanical and/or electrical engineering fundamentals
• Materials science concepts
• Accelerated life testing methodologies
• Reliability test design and statistical analysis

Preferred Experience:

• Hands-on experience with electron beam (e‑beam) technology
• Experience using reliability tools such as ReliaSoft (Weibull, BlockSim) or similar modeling software
• Familiarity with reliability block modeling, FMEA, and statistical process control

• Engineering degree strongly preferred (Electrical, Mechanical, Physics, or related field)
• Formal reliability degree not required
• Minimum of 5 years of practical, hands-on reliability engineering experience preferred
• Practical experience is valued more than advanced degrees

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable influencing and collaborating across teams without direct authority
• Confident engaging with senior leaders and executives
• Outgoing, collaborative, and team-oriented mindset
• Ability to drive alignment around reliability as a shared, cross‑functional goal

• Strong preference for candidates local to the Milpitas / Santa Clara area to support collaboration and onboarding

• Advanced experience with e‑beam tools
• Deep knowledge of Weibull analysis and reliability modeling software
• Manufacturing reliability experience and familiarity with production environments
