Job Title: STAFF QLTY & RELIABILITY ENGINEER Posting Start Date: 12/24/25 At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. Job Description: Job Overview
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.
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, χ² 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)
• 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
