Reliability and Quality Engineering Expert

What You'll Do6

• Draft engineering analysis problems pulled from real projects you have worked, spanning designed experiments, process control, reliability and failure data.
• Solve each problem yourself and produce a reference answer with the reasoning spelled out at every step.
• Identify the errors that read as plausible to a generalist but stand out to someone who has run the analysis for real.
• Build scenarios that test engineering judgment rather than recall of textbook formulas.
• Set the difficulty and scope of your own problem set based on the methods you know best.
• Turn around work async on a schedule you control, with 10 hours a week as the minimum commitment.

Requirements8

• Degree in engineering, physics or statistics.
• 3 or more years of full time work in a reliability, quality, process or test role. Internships and school projects do not count toward this.
• Hands-on use of design of experiments, statistical process control or reliability analysis in that role.
• Comfort with at least one of Minitab, JMP, Python or R.
• Written English strong enough to make an analysis legible to a reader who was not in the room.
• Availability of 10 hours per week or more.
• Preferred: a Master's degree in engineering or statistics.
• Preferred: background in capability studies, measurement system analysis, life data analysis or uncertainty quantification.

Who Should Apply

Reliability, quality, process and test engineers with 3+ years of full time practice who reach for DOE, SPC or reliability analysis on the job and can defend each step of an answer in writing. Site reliability and software engineers are not the fit here.
