About MedTech

Fueled by innovation at the intersection of biology and technology were developing the next generation of smarter less invasive more personalized treatments.

Your unique talents will help patients on their journey to wellness. Learn more at Flexible Robotics Team (MONARCH) is seeking a highly skilled and innovative contributor to the Monarch Hardware Team. This role is responsible for not just for executing tests but for owning reliability intent across the product lifecyclefrom early concept through postmarket. The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who uses physics data and regulation to proactively protect patients while enabling disciplined product execution across the full lifecycle.

As a Reliability and Test Engineer focused on electrical and mechanical testing you will play a key role in improving the reliability of the Monarch robotic system across development testing manufacturing and field use with the goal to optimize the design for best-in-class lifetime customer experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Designing requirement and tests that target failure mechanisms. Ensuring verification demonstrates safety and effectiveness and not just requirement closure.

• Plan and execute reliability testing at the sub-assembly and system levels for the Monarch robotic system partnering with cross-functional teams to bring prototypes to market.

• Design build and validate custom test fixtures and test methods to enable repeatable controlled testing.

• Conduct test data analysis and clearly communicate test results and collaborate with design engineers to resolve issues detected in testing.

• Facilitate test failure root cause analysis to understand the root cause failure mechanisms (mechanical electrical material biological) and drive resolution and corrective actions for failures originating in testing

• Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with design reliability and manufacturing engineers to suggest design and/or process improvements and address

• Analyze field performance and identify trends in failure across various sub-systems. Perform life data analysis identify risk areas and implement process or design changes to address. Track reliability growth with these implemented changes.

• Validate customer usage compared to assumed test requirements / duty cycles to identify any gaps in reliability test plan.

• Translating clinical and business needs into quantifiable reliability requirements. Inject reliability thinking early in design by translating intended use duty cycle and patient-risk assumptions into reliability requirements.

Required Qualifications:

• Early in career candidate with a BS or MS in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or a related technical field is required.

• Demonstration of a complex multidisciplinary project involving design and test

• Excellent technical writing and verbal communication skills are a must.

• Presentation capabilities that can be tailored anywhere from peer to team-level.

• Ability to work independently or in a team setting.

• Must be self-directed self-motivated and able to multi-task in a fast-paced environment with multiple priorities.

• Knowledge and ability to interpret and follow applicable regulations guidelines and policy statements is required.

• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 10% of the time.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep command of physicsoffailure (PoF): fatigue corrosion creep wear dielectric breakdown solder & interconnect failure.

• Hands-on experience with:

  • HALT / HASS

  • ALT / Accelerated Stress Testing

  • Weibull lognormal and exponential modeling

  • Confidence & reliability growth (Duane AMSAA)

• Ability to translate field reliability targets (e.g. 1 ppm failure over X years) into design inputs and test strategy.
