Senior Reliability Engineer

About the Role at RobCo

As our Senior Reliability Engineer (m/f/d), you are the technical authority ensuring system-level robustness and long-term endurance across our modular robotic platforms. Working cross-functionally across hardware design, physical testing, and field operations, you will translate messy real-world data into actionable design changes and world-class reliability standards.

Your Responsibilities

• Direct the multi-year reliability and endurance test roadmap, serving as the technical authority for the physical test team
• Close the loop against field and service data, translating operational insights into optimized maintenance intervals and design changes
• Own system-level reliability across our core products, building Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) to aggregate component data
• Set reliability requirements early and rigorously enforce them during design reviews
• Drive failure mode identification by leading DFMEA and FMEDA sessions
• Execute deep statistical analyses, calculating MTBF/MTTF for random failures and L10/B10 wear-out life
• Evaluate data integrity with sharp engineering judgment

We're Looking for Someone Who Has

• Completed vocational training or a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or comparable experience
• Several years of experience in reliability engineering focused on complex electro/mechanical products
• Strong ownership and growth mindset, pragmatic working style and analytical rigor
• Very good English skills (German is a plus)
• Practical command of RBD modeling, MTBF/MTTF prediction, L10/B10 life calculation, and hands-on FMEA/FMEDA experience

Nice to Have

• Background in robotics, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, or medical devices
• Domain knowledge of servo drivetrains and their specific failure modes
• Familiarity with functional safety standards (ISO 13849, IEC 61508, IEC 62061, or ISO 26262)
• Experience with specialized reliability tools (ReliaSoft, Isograph, Windchill Quality, SISTEMA, Minitab, or Python/R)
