Omschrijving werkzaamheden Reliability Engineer

Responsible for:

• Specification of reliability for mechanical systems and components (via a budget breakdown methodology). Focus on hardware. Working together with the designers responsible for the functional specification, providing them the required reliability guidance.
•  Delivery of the evidence that the specified reliability has been met, within the restrictions imposed by system specifications, costs and planning. This evidence consist of multiple elements, of which a major one is lifetime testing based on Weibull/Weibayes testplans
• By carrying out the above tasks the reliability engineer contributes to setting up the organisations Design for Reliability (DfR) methodology.
• Assisting designers (=leading by example) w.r.t analysis of design concepts and existing designs w.r.t reliability risks by applying own experience in reliability engineering (keywords: FMEA, MTBI, Weibull, Weibayes, Kaplan-Meier, failure modes, stress factors, Six Sigma, DfR), define appropriate actions, and take care of follow up on actions.

Job Description:

• For a specific subsystem and its related parts + modules / building blocks:
• Analyze field performance and lessons learned
• Establish reliability requirement + budget breakdown
• Define operational environment & user case
• Perform risk analysis / FMEA together with development team
• Identify critical parts
• Risk retirement ?€? including feasibility and lifetime testing
• Reliability testing at different function levels within a subsystem
• Reliability Prediction
• Review: design robustness
