Reliability Engineer - Foster City, United States - Zoox

Description

At Zoox we have set the goal to provide our customers with the highest level of safety and a best-in-class experience while using our fully autonomous vehicles.

You will work with a team of world-class engineers with diverse backgrounds such as robotics, control, and vehicle engineering, to deliver the vehicle performance using virtual tools and methodologies.

In taking on the virtual and physical durability development you will work in predicting where the vehicle is within its lifespan and providing maintenance scenarios and optimization strategies.

Working in a startup environment gives you the chance to unleash your creativity and make a big difference in the final product.

In this role, you will:

Establish and refine the system/component-level targets for reliability performance of the powertrain system [electric drive unit (EDU) and high voltage battery (HVB)] in collaboration with internal stakeholders on the Vehicle Systems Engineering Powertrain team.

Drive the design failure mode and effects analysis process (DFMEA) for the powertrain system to capture the salient reliability performance risks and the appropriate risk mitigation activities.

Use reliability targets, risk information from Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA), and reliability physics of failure to work with validation engineers in developing virtual and physical test plans to prove out the designs and demonstrate the required reliability performance of the powertrain system.

Pave the way from development to field deployment by developing and deploying the systems necessary to identify reliability performance improvement opportunities and drive the implementation of corrective actions.

Qualifications

Masters-level engineering or similar technical degree with 5+ years hands on experience in Reliability Engineering
Detailed understanding of EV powertrain systems, and typical failure modes and test methods for these systems
Deep understanding of reliability data analysis and risk assessment, and how to develop component reliability targets based on functional safety and business objectives
Experience in failure mode assessment, accelerated reliability testing and advanced field reliability monitoring concepts
Personable with the ability to lead and coach a high-caliber engineering team toward world class levels of reliability/dependability
