Senior Technical Program Manager, Reliability

Role Summary

Responsibilities

• Own the reliability program end-to-end, leading planning, coordination, and execution of all reliability and qualification activities (e.g., HALT, HASS, ALT, FMEA/DFMEA, MTBF analysis, and derating assessments) across all engineering disciplines, product development, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality
• Build and maintain the reliability roadmap by defining milestone-driven reliability schedules aligned with product development timelines (EVT, DVT, PVT), ensuring that testing, qualification submissions, and reliability demonstrations are sequenced to avoid program delays
• Lead DFM and design review processes with a reliability lens, driving accountability for durability and lifetime implications during design reviews and ensuring that manufacturing processes and test fixtures align with reliability qualification requirements
• Own test sample submissions, failure investigation tracking, response timelines, and qualification-readiness assessments at all stages of development
• Identify and mitigate reliability risks early by proactively surfacing design, material, or process gaps that could jeopardize product lifetime and field performance targets; partner with engineering and operations to drive timely resolution through structured trade-off analysis
• Own and manage relationships with external test labs, qualification partners, and field reliability data providers, including coordinating test schedules, responding to test failures, and driving re-test cycles to closure
• Serve as the reliability communication hub, delivering regular, clear status updates on qualification progress, open failure modes, and reliability dependencies to executives, engineering leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders to enable informed decision-making
• Lead the integration of reliability requirements into product design, collaborating with electrical and power electronics engineers to ensure that thermal margins, component stress levels, derating rules, and lifetime models are factored into design decisions from the start
• Drive component-level reliability outcomes in partnership with supply chain and quality teams, including ownership of component qualification status, approved vendor lists (AVLs), component derating requirements, and supplier qualification relative to reliability and lifetime obligations
• Define and continuously improve reliability program management infrastructure, owning all activity trackers, milestone frameworks, and reporting systems that keep the program on track
• Own reliability documentation and traceability — including test reports, failure analysis records, qualification matrices, and other reliability artifacts — ensuring completeness, accuracy, and alignment with product lifetime goals

Qualifications

• Technical degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline; or equivalent hands-on industry experience with complex power electronics hardware and reliability engineering
• 6+ years of experience in technical program management, reliability engineering, quality engineering, material science or product qualification roles involving power electronics, electrical hardware, medical devices, automotive or energy systems in a production environment
• Demonstrated experience managing product qualification programs to relevant reliability and qualification standards (e.g., IEC 60068 environmental testing, MIL-STD-810, IEC 62109, Telcordia/BELLCORE, JEDEC component qualification, or equivalent industry standards)
• Familiarity with product development lifecycle stages (EVT, DVT, PVT) and how reliability activities integrate with each phase, including test planning, failure analysis, design iteration, and final qualification sign-off
• Nice to have - working knowledge of power electronics principles — converters, inverters, motor drives, grid-tied systems — sufficient to engage meaningfully with engineering teams on reliability implications of design decisions
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills with experience aligning engineering, quality, supply chain, and operations teams around shared reliability milestones and accountability
• Experience managing external relationships with accredited test labs and qualification partners, including coordinating test schedules, responding to test failures, and managing re-test cycles
• Excellent verbal, written, and visual communication skills — with the ability to translate complex reliability requirements into clear engineering actions and present qualification status to both technical and executive audiences
• Experience with component-level reliability programs including derating analysis, FMEA/DFMEA, MTBF modeling, and qualification processes tied to product lifetime requirements
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments with evolving reliability targets and competing program priorities
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 30%, including international locations, to support lab testing, qualification audits, and global partner engagements
• Please note : This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
