Reliability Engineer, Energy StorageActive$123K

Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back.

What you'll do

• Define and own the reliability strategy for hardware products with complex: printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and electromechanical systems

• Plan and execute reliability tests such as HALT, thermal cycling, vibration,: drop, humidity, ingress protection (IP) testing, and power cycling

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define design-for-reliability: (DfR) requirements and drive root cause analysis for test failures

• Track reliability KPIs and deliver reliability insights to guide design improvements and product decisions

• Develop accelerated life test models and support FMEA and DFMEA processes

• Analyze reliability data using Weibull, log-normal, and other statistical models to predict field performance

What they're looking for

• Work closely with engineering teams to establish reliability gates through program stages (A/B/C/D)
• Support failure analysis (FA) efforts using tools like X-ray,: cross-sectioning, and SEM/EDX to identify failure mechanisms in PCBAs
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts across reliability processes,: lab capabilities, and test methodologies
• Author reports / document findings
