## About the Role

* Degree in electrical, mechanical, mechatronics or related engineering discipline
 * Hands-on experience in reliability testing and failure analysis. You have personally run tests, torn down hardware, and identified root causes
 * Solid working knowledge of reliability methods: FMEA/DFMEA, FRACAS, Weibull analysis, accelerated life testing
 * Comfortable with data analysis tools (Excel, Python or similar) and able to draw defensible engineering conclusions from field and test data
 * Structured, ownership-oriented problem solver. You close problems, not just document them
 * Able to work independently and drive progress without close supervision
 * Clear, factual communication in English and German (min. B2)

## Description

Reporting to the Director, Hardware Reliability, you will play a key role within New Product Development (NPD) and sustaining engineering by applying structured reliability engineering methods.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You will work directly with hardware, data and cross-functional teams to build reliability into our products. Not from a distance, but at the bench and in the design.

This position is based at our Lübeck office and requires regular onsite presence, with some flexibility for remote work.

In this role, a typical day will look like:

 * Own and execute reliability test programs (HALT, ALT, vibration, thermal cycling) from planning through documented conclusion, including hands-on test setup and instrumentation
 * Lead root cause analysis for electrical, mechanical and electro-mechanical failures
 * Drive DFMEA activities in NPD teams: facilitate sessions, track open mitigations, and close them with engineering evidence
 * Maintain and continuously improve the FRACAS process; extract trends from field, warranty and service data and translate them into actionable engineering improvements
 * Perform component and assembly lifetime assessments, work directly with suppliers on reliability requirements and qualification data
 * Provide clear, traceable technical documentation and present findings and recommendations to engineering teams
 * Act as the go-to reliability resource on cross-functional NPD programs. Not in a consulting role, but as an active engineering contributor with accountability for outcomes
