Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Reliability Engineer - **Company:** RobCo GmbH - **Location:** München, Germany (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Data Integrity, Failure Mode Effects Analysis, Hardware Design, Python (Programming Language), Minitab, Reliability Engineering, Windchill - **Published:** July 30, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=a6ef2544ea7d09ca ## About the Role * Completed vocational training or a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or comparable experience. * Several years of experience in reliability engineering focused on complex electro/mechanical products. * Strong ownership and growth mindset, pragmatic working style and analytical rigor to reach defensible conclusions from incomplete evidence. * Very good English skills (German is a plus). * Practical command of RBD modeling, MTBF/MTTF prediction, L10/B10 life calculation, and hands-on FMEA/FMEDA experience., * Background in robotics, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, or medical devices. * Domain knowledge of servo drivetrains (gearboxes, bearings, brakes) and their specific failure modes. * Familiarity with functional safety standards (ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 62061, or ISO 26262) or standard series like IEC 60300, IEC 61709, or SN 29500. * Experience with specialized reliability tools and software (ReliaSoft, Isograph, Windchill Quality, SISTEMA, Minitab, or Python/R) and applying Weibull analysis to messy real-world data. * Experience working with modular or configurable product families where reliability must be calculated per configuration. ## Description RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works., As our Senior Reliability Engineer (m/f/d), you are the technical authority ensuring system-level robustness and long-term endurance across our modular robotic platforms. If something is broken, you fix it. If something can be automated, you build it. Working cross-functionally across hardware design, physical testing, and field operations, you will translate messy real-world data into actionable design changes and world-class reliability standards., * Direct the multi-year reliability and endurance test roadmap, serving as the technical authority for the physical test team executing it. * Close the loop against field and service data, translating operational insights into optimized maintenance intervals, spare-part strategies, and concrete design changes. * Own system-level reliability across our core products and module families, building Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) to aggregate component data into module-, arm-, and system-level reliability targets at defined confidence levels. * Set reliability requirements early and rigorously enforce them during design reviews to actively shape and refine the product architecture. * Drive failure mode identification by leading DFMEA and FMEDA sessions at system and module levels, while spearheading root-cause analyses for real-world failures. * Execute deep statistical analyses, calculating MTBF/MTTF for random failures and L10/B10 wear-out life for bearings, gears, and brakes while defending underlying assumptions. * Evaluate data integrity with sharp engineering judgment, knowing precisely when data is decision-grade versus a placeholder to guide leadership decisions. ## Related Videos - [Exploring 5 Key Applications of AI Abundance with Blockchain Assurance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/971-exploring-5-key-applications-of-ai-abundance-with-blockchain-assurance) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
