Reliability Design Team Lead

Reliability Design Team Lead

As the Team Lead for the Reliability Design Team, you will play a critical role in building and leading a team of reliability and component engineers to ensure our spacecraft electronics and systems meet our quality, reliability, and availability needs. You’ll support the team in pushing the boundary of what is possible in a geo-synchronous spacecraft design and enable performance in space that has not been realized to date and in particular ensure that Design for Reliability is at the forefront of our engineering processes.

Role

• Directly manage, mentor and grow a team of reliability and component engineers 


• Collaborate with a broad and multidisciplinary engineering team to ensure that our spacecraft will operate reliably over their entire mission duration


• Develop and own Astranis's approved EEE parts list and our qualification and screening and processes for flight parts


• Support the engineering, production and mission operations teams with failure analysis and root cause analysis expertise


• Drive the growth of the power team through recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-expanding team

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, materials science, or a related engineering field.


• 8+ years of experience as a component, reliability, or electrical engineer.


• 4+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas: semiconductor physics, physics of failure, accelerated testing, design for reliability

Bonus

• Knowledge of accelerated test profiles for component-level screening and qualification testing


• Understanding of HALT/HASS test profiles and reliability assessments


• Knowledge of supplier quality processes: production part approval process, advanced product quality planning, first article inspection reports, product lifecycle management systems, etc.


• Experience performing failure analysis and destructive physical analysis investigations to provide corrective actions and paths to closure


• Experience maintaining source control documentations for EEE components


• Experience gathering and interpreting PPAP documentation for EEE components
