Davita Inc.
Reliability Engineer, Thermal & Mechanical, Energy Products
Davita Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
As a
Mechanical
Reliability Engineer focusing on
Tesla's energy products, specifically
Megapack
, you will play a key role in designing reliability into Tesla's
i
ndustrial
e
nergy
s
torage
s
ystems
ensuring the
products
meet the highest standards of reliability
.This role follows the reliability lifecycle of the product from concept to design,
validation
testing/analysis, manufacturing, and field operation
to design-in, confirm, and grow exceptional reliability at every stage. You will investigate failures through physics of failure analysis and physical testing to accurately predict the system's robustness and
optimize
product reliability while acceleratingTesla's next gen products'time to market.
This role is ideal for an Engineer who is passionate about reliability
physics
, enjoys problem-solving, and thrives in a
fast-paced collaborative environment. What You'll Do
Facilitate Design FMEA sessions to
detect risks,
drive reliable design choices and
inform
validation tes
ting Set and communicate reliability requirements and targets for site, product, subsystem, and components Define reliability test plans
,
design test conditions
, set test
duration
and sample size
,
based on physics of failure
modeling
and accelerated life testing
principles Analyze lab test data and field data to
identify
reliability trends, forecast reliability
estimates
utilizing
statistical analysis (e.g., Weibull analysis, physics of fa
ilure models)
and recommend design improvements.
Analyze usage and environmental conditions from field to improve requirement setting and testing methods Communicate
and drive
test plans, results,
learnings,
and recommendations to various st
akeholders within the organization Closely
collaborate with cross-functional teams, including test,
reliability data science,
design, architecture modeling,
service,
and quality to
identify
potential reliability issues
and drive the corrective actions Research failure mechanisms to build more robust validation plans and influence design choices.
Drive reliability assessments in product design reviews and clearly communicate risk at each phase of product development and for released products Influence supplier
selection
for higher reliability and
provide
clear guidance on reliability requirements and demonstration to suppliers Facilitate failure analysis to understand root cause and drive resolution of failures occurring during product development
phases Provide reliability design guidelines and apply reliability lessons learned to enable continuous improvement.
Answer complex questions on fleet usage and behavior to enable proactive health monitoring, grow reliability, and minimize field failures
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering
or
a
related field and three years of experience in a Reliability Engineering role or equivalent experience
Understanding of accelerated testing methods, governing equations, and physics of failure for different failure mechanisms
Understanding of applied statistics and reliability statistics (Weibull distribution, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Bayesian methods, Monte Carlo analysis, etc.)
Understanding of Accelerated Degradation modeling and reliability prediction methods
Knowledge of material degradation mechanisms and their impact on mechanical performance
Experience analyzing test results and interpreting reliability insights
Knowledge of reliability growth techniques, such as Crow-AMSAA and Crow Extended
Knowledge of the
ReliaSoft
Synthesis Platform, including Weibull++, BlockSim, ALTA, RGA, and
xFMEA
Working knowledge of failure analysis techniques such as optical microscopy,
SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)
,
CSAM (Confocal Scanning Acoustic Microscopy)
, X-ray, cross-sectioning and EDX
Working knowledge of programming languages, preferably Python
,
or
Matlab
