Staff Reliability EngineerActive$180K–$230K

The opportunity

Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven Sodium-Ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.

What you'll do

  • Take independent DfR ownership for existing subsystem reliability and a lead: DfR role for future products, with a focus on HV electronics, devices, and power conversion

  • Fully develop reliability test programs (DV, PV, ORT) by leading DFMEA,: defining mission profiles, analyzing test acceleration, and specifying test requirements

  • Build and contribute to custom Python reliability analysis and modeling tools: to automate workflows for life prediction, test design, test/field data, and reporting

  • Define reliability requirements and acceptance criteria at key program: milestones and clearly communicate risk and reliability confidence to engineering leadership

  • Develop physics-of-failure lifetime models and close the loop by performing: failure root cause analysis and statistical analyses of test and field reliability data

  • Partner with the SIE team and suppliers to verify component quality by: overseeing outsourced testing and defining qualification and inspection requirements

What they're looking for

  • Collaborate across all teams to embed DfR principles into engineering: decisions throughout the product cycle, including early architecture decisions, manufacturing process development, and cost-down projects
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical: Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
  • + years of experience in hardware reliability engineering in power: electronics, high-voltage systems, or consumer electronics
  • Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles including: statistics, data analysis, physics-of-failure, lifetime prediction models, accelerated life testing, and DFMEA
