About canoo:
Canoo has developed breakthrough electric vehicles that are reinventing the automotive landscape with bold innovations in design, pioneering technologies, and a unique business model that defies traditional ownership to put customers firstDistinguished by its experienced team – totaling over 500 employees from leading technology and automotive companies – canoo has designed a modular electric platform purpose-built to deliver maximum vehicle interior space and adaptable to support a wide range of vehicle applications for consumers and businessesWith offices around the country, the company is scaling quickly and seeking candidates who love to challenge themselves, are motivated by autonomy and purpose, and get things done.
Overview: the reliability engineer is responsible for setting the component, system, and vehicle level reliability goals that each engineering team is designing to and provides cross-functional technical guidance to make sure we achieve those goalsIn this role, you will interpret what reliability means to our customers and translate that into actionable and testable requirementsResponsibilities:
Define system & component level reliability requirements and targets for our vehicles and disseminate them into requirements for subsystems
Determine how to validate reliability requirements using test plans, such as dvp&r’s, for test execution as well as simulation and analysis methods
Provide guidance on test sample size requirements and durations for reliability testing using lifetime models and reliability statistics.
Serve as a technical expert to the design engineering community on design for reliability and influence design decisions and trade-offs for new product designs by applying reliability analysis to uncover potential risks and opportunities early in the design process
Lead design failure mode and effects analysis process (dfmea) for several vehicle systems to capture the reliability performance risks and identify the appropriate risk mitigation activities
Use reliability targets, risk information from dfmeas, and reliability physics of failure to work with validation engineers in developing virtual and physical test plans to prove the designs and demonstrate the required reliability performance
Facilitate failure analysis investigations to understand root cause and drive resolution of failures occurring during product development
After product launch, research unique field failure mechanisms to build more robust validation plans and influence design choices, and apply reliability lessons learned to enable continuous improvement
