TL;DR · Hardware Reliability Engineer, Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL)

Hardware Reliability Engineer, Amazon Leo - Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) joins the OISL Reliability team to ensure complex opto-mechanical, electrical, and electro-optical hardware meets qualification and lifetime requirements for the low Earth orbit environment. The role involves developing reliability models, conducting failure mode and effects analysis, fault tree analysis, and root cause investigations for hardware systems. You will execute reliability demonstration testing, accelerated life testing, and highly accelerated life testing while applying Weibull analysis and other statistical tools to predict product lifetimes. Key responsibilities include implementing Design for Reliability principles, managing verification plans, and investigating field failures. Required skills include proficiency in Python or MATLAB for data analysis and scripting. The role focuses on the technical challenge of building next-generation optical interconnect systems designed to operate reliably within the demanding conditions of space.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain reliability models and frameworks for electrical, mechanical, and optical components.
  • Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis (FTA), and root cause analysis (RCA).
  • Execute reliability demonstration testing (RDT), accelerated life testing (ALT), and highly accelerated life testing (HALT).
  • Apply Weibull analysis and other statistical tools to predict and improve product lifetime.
  • Establish reliability requirements and verification plans for new product development programs.
  • Implement Design for Reliability (DfR) principles in collaboration with design engineering teams.
  • Investigate field and test failures to identify failure modes and drive corrective actions.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation including test plans, reports, and specifications.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, material engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with reliability engineering principles including Weibull analysis, FTA, HALT, HASS, ALT, and RDT.
  • Experience with failure analysis techniques and root cause investigation.
  • Experience with data analysis and scripting using Python, MATLAB, or equivalent tools.
  • Master's degree or higher in engineering or equivalent (preferred).
  • Experience with optics, opto-electronics, optical communication systems, or space/LEO environmental requirements (preferred).
  • Experience with system-level reliability, industry standards, NPI, or manufacturing process qualification (preferred).
