What you’ll do
Key Responsibilities
Work with Product SMEs to influence product design by introducing innovative ideas to mitigate reliability risks and optimize product performance.
Serve as an SME and independently deliver Design for Reliability (DfR) activities in electrical product development programs.
Develop short-term and long-term technology maturity roadmaps for Design for Reliability of electrical components.
Lead Physics of Failure (PoF)-based reliability assessments for electrical/electronic products, as well as cooling system solutions used in data centers.
Plan and conduct reliability life testing, leveraging Eaton’s internal test laboratories and external agencies as appropriate.
Develop data analytics–based solutions using test data from electrical/electronic products to support reliability life modeling.
Provide technical mentoring to new talent in handling critical issues and delivering project objectives.
Reduce warranty defects through optimized burn-in strategies in close collaboration with manufacturing plants, and drive the adoption of structured problem-solving methodologies such as FRACAS and Shainin Red X for new product development and existing product engineering initiatives.
A. Technology Responsibilities
Collaborate with business stakeholders to assess current reliability capabilities and identify opportunities for Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) and test optimization.
Develop short-term and long-term technology roadmaps to enhance existing reliability technologies and build new organizational capabilities.
Drive initiatives to implement risk mitigation strategies across the organization, including the application of structured problem-solving methodologies in new product development and product improvement programs.
B. Program Responsibilities
Provide technical leadership for the assigned business portfolio through effective stakeholder management and engagement.
Plan project milestones, execute deliverables, conduct technical reviews, communicate progress to stakeholders, and support team development through technical mentoring.
Create and/or update reliability deliverables, including Reliability Program Plans, Reliability Predictions, Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEA), Highly Accelerated Life Tests (HALT), and Reliability Demonstration Tests (RDT) for new product development programs.
C. Extended Responsibilities
Lead reliability management (RM)-level initiatives and contribute through impactful value-added activities.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers to ensure high-quality, first-time-right deliverables.
D. Individual Contributor Responsibilities
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute Design for Reliability (DfR) activities for new product development (NPD) programs, primarily focused on data center applications, ensuring the identification, assessment, and mitigation of reliability risks.
Understand project requirements and independently solve complex technical challenges through collaboration with local and global stakeholders.
Demonstrate innovative thinking and foster a culture of technical rigor to generate intellectual property, including patents, trade secrets, and technical publications.
Exhibit a continuous improvement mindset to deliver measurable value in terms of cost, quality, and schedule performance.
