What you will do:
The reliability engineer's (RE) main purpose is to ensure a Litens' design is validated for a customer application.
To achieve this purpose their scope of work includes:
- Understanding how the product fails with the intended functions under defined operating conditions for a period of time.
- Utilizing Design For Reliability (DFR) tools to help understand how the design works and identify failure modes and mechanisms.
- Utilizing Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) models and Reliability Prognostics to demonstrate the reliability meets the customer requirements
- Documenting and taking ownership of Validation Plans in the industry standard DVP&R

Main duties/responsibilities
- Ensure each product designed has a DVP&R which will confirm and document the Reliability and Robustness. This means the RE has ownership of this document and must ensure the document is completed and the results are acceptable.
- Create Reliability Demonstration tests to ensure Litens' products meet Reliability targets or criteria. The RE must utilize Reliability Engineering principals and tools to define these tests.
- Create the Design For Reliability (DFR) documents the help understand how the product functions and fails. The documents also help the RE to identify the operating conditions and life targets set by the customer and the application.
- Identify the New and Unknown parts of the design at the component level and interface level to help prioritize the higher risk potential failures for testing. These should be noted on the DFR documents where appropriate
- Review Customer requirements for each design to help create Reliability and Robustness tests to meet those requirements
