Cepheid is proud to work alongside a community of six fellow Danaher Diagnostics companies Together we re working at the pace of change on diagnostic tools that address the world s biggest health challenges driven by knowing that behind every test there is a patient waiting Learn about the which makes everything possible The Sr Staff Engineer Reliability Engineering is responsible working with product development and sustaining teams to ensure Cepheid is developing highly reliable products through the application of Danaher reliability tools e g Failure Mode Effects Criticality Analysis structured problem solving reliability modeling reliability predictions etc This technical role will be responsible to support assessment and improvement in final product reliability The ideal candidate will be working closely with the mechanical and electrical design software firmware and manufacturing engineers to characterize and demonstrate design improvements through testing and simulations Primary function of this position is to make review improve execute current plans for systems subsystems reliability testing This includes design procurement and automate the systems subsystems throughout the reliability tests Other important task is to support current efforts by the design team for bench testing critical components and subsystems This position is part of the Systems Engineering team and will be located Bengaluru IDC India At Cepheid our vision is to be the leading provider of seamlessly connected diagnostic solutions In this role you will have the opportunity to Define and implement functional and reliability requirements of systems subsystems to plan reliability life tests that help evaluate the short long term compliance with the specifications Provide reliability predictions along with test plans and methods to assess and drive product reliability to the desired levels Develop present methods of correlating reliability test results with actual field performance Interact and work closely with ME EE SW FW IT PM engineering groups and suppliers ensuring the desired reliability is achieved using Design for Reliability DfR approaches including FMEA and DoE approaches Works with R D Manufacturing Customer Care and Quality groups to help resolve customer complaints manufacturing issues during early commercial stages by performing reliability prediction of failure mechanisms on products under development and products in the field Own the product and engineering design reviews assessing the reliability budget of products designs and inspire changes which improve product reliability Able to articulate needed design changes to improve product reliability and influence and align with cross functional stakeholders on those recommendations The essential requirements of the job include Bachelor s degree in Electrical Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering with 8 years of experience or Master s degree in the same fields with 6 years of experience in reliability and life testing of medical capital or consumer equipment and instruments Minimum 5 years of experience designing validating executing and documenting reliability test methods and protocols including HALT HASS and Accelerated Life Testing Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience using statistical tools such as JMP Minitab DOE Weibull ALTA
