Rhoda AI is building generalist intelligent robots with end-to-end hardware and software systems. As the Senior Hardware Reliability Engineer, you own reliability as an engineering discipline, translating requirements into mission profiles and accelerated test plans across HALT, thermal cycling, and vibration.

You decompose platform and subsystem requirements into duty cycles and exposure profiles, drive design fixes through FMEA/FMECA, and collaborate with actuators, power electronics, and

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Reliability Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years in reliability engineering with ownership of mission-profile development and accelerated test design.
• Experience developing mission profiles or duty‑cycle models from product requirements.

Responsibilities

• Decompose platform/subsystem requirements into mission profiles and duty cycles for real‑world use.
• Translate mission profiles into accelerated test plans, including acceleration factors and pass/fail criteria.
• Build and maintain FMEA/FMECA analyses and drive design changes to prevent failures.
• Apply quantitative reliability methods (Weibull, MTBF/MTTF) to predict reliability over time.
• Collaborate with actuator, electrical, and structures engineers to convert mission profiles into test‑stand requirements.
