Job Description

General Description: The Reliability Support Engineer position is responsible for supporting hardware and software engineering teams in building reliable, automated products. This role will oversee engineering lab operations, maintenance, and improvements while supporting electro-mechanical testing, test automation, robotics, and data acquisition

- Starting compensation is based on experience.
- No H1 Sponsorship.
- Must Already be in Mountain View, CA or willing to relocate at own cost

Primary Responsibilities/Tasks:

  • Set up, configure, and execute engineering test procedures, sensor instrumentation, and automated data collection pipelines according to technical documentation.
  • Develop, maintain, and execute automation routines and DAQ test sequences using LabVIEW and scripting languages (e.g., Python, C++).
  • Integrate, program, and maintain robotic fixtures, actuators, and automated test stations to support repeatable life-cycle and stress testing.
  • Manage hardware and software computer setups, driver installations, firmware flashing, and network configurations for lab instruments.
  • Ensure lab spaces and test cells are organized, calibrated, safe, and maintained for maximum operational efficiency.
  • Actively participate in internal testing across all phases of product development

  • Hands-on background executing reliability, environmental, mechanical, and stress tests (thermal chambers, vibration tables, tensile/Instron testing).
  • Strong analytical mindset capable of deep-diving into unexpected test anomalies, system crashes, or sensor drift rather than purely executing repetitive routines.
  • Proficiency in analyzing and summarizing large datasets using Python, MATLAB, spreadsheets, and presentation decks.
  • Solid understanding of electrical/electronic instrumentation: oscilloscopes, DMMs, strain gauges, accelerometers, power supplies, and thermocouples.
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical CAD drawings, electrical schematics, and software architecture flowcharts.
