If you are passionate about building robust, reliable products and want to have a direct impact on innovative industrial solutions, this role provides an exceptional opportunity for growth, influence, and technical leadership.

This role will be responsible for defining and driving hardware quality assurance, robustness, and reliability engineering strategies across HPAM hardware products throughout the development lifecycle. The role leads robustness and reliability validation activities, collaborates with cross-functional hardware, software, manufacturing, and supplier teams, and ensures products meet reliability, durability, safety, and customer quality expectations. Applies advanced subject matter expertise to assess risks, develop validation methodologies, and drive corrective actions for moderately complex products and systems.

This role offers the opportunity to influence the quality and reliability strategy of future HP Additive Manufacturing platforms while working at the forefront of industrial innovation and helping deliver industry-leading solutions to customers around the world.

Responsibilities

• Establishes reliability requirements, validation parameters, and acceptance criteria based on customer use conditions, business requirements, and industry best practices.
• Plan, develops and executes robustness, reliability and quality validation strategies for new and existing hardware products in accordance with product development processes and quality standards. Environmental, mechanical, thermal, transportation, abuse, durability, lifecycle, ALT and HALT among others.
• Understand physics of failure and performs failure analysis, root cause investigations, corrective action tracking and verification activities to identify and mitigate product quality and reliability risks.
• Applies statistical methods and reliability engineering tools such as Weibull analysis, reliability growth modeling, life data analysis, HALT, HASS, and Design for Reliability (DfR) methodologies.
• Collaborates with hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing, supplier quality, and operations teams to ensure reliability requirements are incorporated early in the design process.
• Leads risk assessments at system and subsystem level, including FMEA, fault tree analysis, and other reliability-focused evaluations to identify and address potential product weaknesses.
• Manages reliability and quality deliverables from internal teams, external partners, laboratories, and suppliers, ensuring alignment on quality objectives, schedules, and execution.
• Drives continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing field data, customer feedback, customer escalations, service feedback, product usage insights and validation results to improve product reliability, robustness and customer satisfaction.
• Drives Hardware Quality governance processes across product development programs, ensuring quality and reliability risks are visible, assessed, and appropriately managed through design reviews, quality reviews, and program decision milestones.
• Generates process efficiencies through robust documentation, validation reporting, metrics tracking, and project management practices.
• Provides technical guidance and mentoring to less experienced quality, reliability, and validation engineers.

Education & Experience Recommended

• Four-year or Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or another related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4-7 years of experience in reliability engineering, product quality, hardware validation, product assurance, or related engineering disciplines; alternatively, an advanced degree with 3-5 years of relevant experience.
• Experience with product qualification, reliability testing, failure analysis, and risk assessment methodologies is preferred.y
