Reporting to the Director, Hardware Reliability, you will play a key role within New Product Development (NPD) and sustaining engineering by applying structured reliability engineering methods.

This is a hands‑on engineering role. You will work directly with hardware, data and cross‑functional teams to build reliability into our products. Not from a distance, but at the bench and in the design.

This position is based at our Lübeck office and requires regular onsite presence, with some flexibility for remote work.

In this role, a typical day will look like:

• Own and execute reliability test programs (HALT, ALT, vibration, thermal cycling) from planning through documented conclusion, including hands‑on test setup and instrumentation
• Lead root cause analysis for electrical, mechanical and electro‑mechanical failures
• Drive DFMEA activities in NPD teams: facilitate sessions, track open mitigations, and close them with engineering evidence
• Maintain and continuously improve the FRACAS process; extract trends from field, warranty and service data and translate them into actionable engineering improvements
• Perform component and assembly lifetime assessments, work directly with suppliers on reliability requirements and qualification data
• Provide clear, traceable technical documentation and present findings and recommendations to engineering teams
• Act as the go‑to reliability resource on cross‑functional NPD programs. Not in a consulting role, but as an active engineering contributor with accountability for outcomes

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Degree in electrical, mechanical, mechatronics or related engineering discipline
• Hands‑on experience in reliability testing and failure analysis. You have personally run tests, torn down hardware, and identified root causes
• Solid working knowledge of reliability methods: FMEA/DFMEA, FRACAS, Weibull analysis, accelerated life testing
• Comfortable with data analysis tools (Excel, Python or similar) and able to draw defensible engineering conclusions from field and test data
• Structured, ownership‑oriented problem solver. You close problems, not just document them
• Able to work independently and drive progress without close supervision
• Clear, factual communication in English; German is a plus
