Staff Reliability Engineer
SPAN, San Francisco
The role
SPAN is seeking a Staff Reliability Engineer to be the technical leader for our reliability team, improve lab organization, standardize reliability test suites, improve the visibility of reliability test reports, and mentor a small team of dedicated reliability engineers. You'll set the technical direction for reliability testing across the entire suite of SPAN products—spanning electrical, mechanical, environmental, and systems-level considerations—while managing the day-to-day work of the entire team.
You'll be the closed-loop-feedback function between test results and product requirements and design decisions, translating product data into clear, actionable input for design engineering teams across all disciplines.
This is a role for someone who can operate at both altitudes: hands-on enough to dig into a failure mode with an oscilloscope or X-ray machine, and strategic enough to standardize reliability test suites, prioritize conflicting test programs, and mentor junior engineers on sound reliability judgment and organizational escalation.
