Robotics Reliability Engineer - Motors, Mechanisms and Electronics

Company Overview Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics. Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to "full self-driving in the home” with real-time 3D mapping, adaptive path-tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device. Privacy First What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud. Our Approach Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones, PDAs, and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time. Our Culture Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy. About the role What you'll do As a robotics reliability engineer on the team, you will be responsible for driving all the reliability requirements across different sub-systems - especially as it pertains to motors, mechanisms and electronics Work with design engineers to understand the physics of failure and apply them to designing accelerated test methods to represent field behaviors Oversee the design and build of test setups for different loading scenarios – fatigue, vibration and shock, temperature and humidity, etc. Perform root cause failure analysis at different stages of testing Prepare concise and detailed test plans, driving test execution, analyzing test reports and presenting results to all relevant stakeholders Create and manage fleet analytics pipelines to systematically identify and eliminate field failures Lead design initiatives that require particularly detailed reliability oriented testing and analysis Strengthen DFR practices while acting in a cross disciplinary fashion spanning across all functions of mechanical, electrical and software engineering What we look for Technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent 2-5 years of work experience in reliability engineering position Track record of defining reliability targets and test plans for consumer electronic products Experience driving the design of test setups for reliability testing Statistical experience such as Weibull++ or familiarity with different accelerated test models Solid understanding of Design of Experiments (DOE) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) Comfort with fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work We'd love to hear from you if... You are genuinely motivated to help those around you You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones You love diagnosing complex technical issues You are excited to do great work Compensation: Base: $130,000 - $200,000 per annum. Actual Compensation will depend on skills, experience and qualifications. Base Salary is one part of the total compensation package. The role is also eligible for equity through the company’s discretionary equity program, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision coverage access to a 401(k) plan.
