TL;DR · Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer, Amazon Leo joins the hardware development team to drive design for reliability in low Earth orbit satellite network systems. This role involves developing and leading reliability activities throughout the product lifecycle, including building a center of excellence for reliability analysis and testing. Key responsibilities include developing HALT, HASS, and accelerated life test campaigns, performing stress-driven risk analysis for thermal, electrical, and mechanical stresses, and conducting root cause investigations for hardware failures. The candidate will utilize Physics-of-Failure models, reliability block diagrams, and statistical modeling to identify product weaknesses. Required skills include proficiency in failure analysis, materials characterization, and knowledge of PCBA manufacturing, electronic component derating, and environmental testing. The work focuses on ensuring hardware reliability for satellite systems and space applications.

What you'll do

  • Develop and lead reliability activities during product development and throughout the product life cycle.
  • Perform stress-driven risk analysis including thermal, electrical, and mechanical stresses to identify product weaknesses.
  • Develop HALT, HASS, and accelerated life test campaigns to validate hardware performance.
  • Create subsystem reliability models and establish reliability allocations across components to meet targets.
  • Review and guide subsystem team component selections, derating, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
  • Support component and manufacturing process qualification to ensure product quality.
  • Drive root cause investigations and failure analysis for hardware failures.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or above in Mechanical, Materials, Reliability, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Master's or Doctorate degree or above in Mechanical, Materials, Reliability, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience in hardware reliability engineering (preferred: focus on satellite systems or space applications).
  • Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures.
  • Knowledge of reliability engineering principles, methods, and tools.
  • Knowledge of environmental testing, including temperature cycling, vibration, HALT, and HASS (preferred).
  • Proficiency in failure analysis techniques and materials characterization methods.
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
