Then, you should contact us right away. (Or read-on to get details of who we’re looking for.)

You should be an expert in:

  • Power Electronics reliability analysis. 
  • Electronic test strategies.
  • And if you’re familiar with motor control, all the better.

And this is what we’d expect of you:

  • Perform the Reliability Analysis of various power electronics products for different mission profiles, including DMA (Design Margin Analysis), FMEA (Failure Modes & Effects Analysis) and FTA (Fault Tree Analysis).
  • Work closely with the Design Team and other key stakeholders (e.g. Supply Chain, manufacturers, suppliers) in getting the required information with a focus on useful life, shelf life, failure mechanisms, etc.
  • Perform ULA (Useful Life Analysis) and SLA (Shelf Life Analysis) in collaboration with the Design Team.
  • Design the plan and ensure the execution of the Accelerated Stress Test, implementing relevant test methods such as Accelerated Reliability Testing (ART), Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT)
  • Drive the Reliability and Certification Test strategy and drive the tests to completion.
