About the role
The systems performance and reliability group is responsible for ensuring that we deliver best-in-class hardware products. As a performance & reliability (P&R) engineer, you will be involved in all aspects of the product development process, from the initial prototyping to launch. P&R engineers conceptualize and implement custom hardware systems and test plans to support R&D activities, as well as verification, validation, qualification, and acceptance testing.
Ideal candidates will thrive in demanding multidisciplinary environments, enjoy hands-on hardware and software development, and have strong data analysis and presentation skills. Sophisticated and robust testing is the underpinning of key architectural downselections and the primary determinant of system performance and reliability. As a senior member of the team you will help set the high standards of our technical development processes.
What you will be doing
-
Collaborate with engineers and scientists to develop custom test fixtures, software, and protocols
-
Lead development and execution of verification, validation, qualification, and acceptance testing
-
Conduct reliability, robustness, and sustainability tests (including MTBF / HALT)
-
Troubleshoot complex electromechanical, optical, and fluidic systems
-
Develop, document, maintain, and execute test software / scripts
-
Identify and implement test and development process improvements
-
Assist in transfer of test protocols to external test and manufacturing partners
-
Implement and standardize test data reporting tools and report templates
To be successful, you will need
-
Bachelors in an engineering discipline (systems, software, mechanical, biomedical, etc); masters preferred
-
5+ years of industry experience (design, test or systems engineering role)
-
Hands on experience performing independent design, assembly and/or testing of complex electromechanical systems
-
Fluency in Python; C/C++ experience is very nice to have
-
Experience with JMP or Minitab; working knowledge of good design of experiment
-
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills

-
Proficiency in SolidWorks; experience designing simple and complex mechanical parts for manufacturing
-
Foundational understanding of GD&T and DFM
-
Specific experience in life sciences / laboratory instrumentation product development
-
Technical proficiency in one or more of the following disciplines: optics, fluidics, precision motion, embedded electronics
-
Classroom or professional experience with system modeling
-
Experience developing and/or testing products in a regulated environment (e.g., ISO 13485, minimally ISO 9001)
