Job summary

Aalo Atomics, based in Austin, TX, seeks a Senior Reliability Engineer to lead reliability engineering across components, subsystems, and modular assemblies for safety-critical nuclear energy systems.

You will establish analytical bases for reliability estimates, identify failure modes, and translate requirements into robust designs and verification plans, collaborating closely with design, test, manufacturing, quality, safety, and systems teams.

Qualifications

• Minimum of seven (7) years of relevant experience in reliability engineering, product assurance, test engineering, or related field.
• Experience developing and critically reviewing designs of experiments for reliability estimation or demonstration.
• Strong knowledge of reliability statistics, life-data analysis, confidence intervals, sample-size determination, and accelerated testing.
• Experience applying reliability methods to physical components and integrated hardware assemblies.
• Proficiency with methods such as FMEA/FMECA, fault-tree analysis, reliability block diagrams, reliability growth, and root-cause analysis.

Responsibilities

• Own and advance reliability engineering methods for components, subsystems, and modular assemblies across the product lifecycle.
• Develop reliability requirements, allocations, predictions, and verification strategies; apply statistical models like Weibull, lognormal, survival analysis, Bayesian methods, and physics-of-failure.
• Design and review experiments for reliability estimation, including accelerated-life and degradation testing; define instrumentation and data-quality controls.
• Lead or support FMEA/FMECA, fault-tree analysis, RBDs, and root-cause investigations; assess interfaces and dependencies in modular assemblies.
• Create reliability plans, reports, models, and test protocols suitable for design reviews and safety-critical requirements.
• Collaborate across design, test, manufacturing, quality, safety, and systems teams; mentor engineers in reliability practices.
