Modeling & Analysis: Establish system for reliability growth of new product development to quantify product maturation during and through long duration reliability tests, system level validation and field pilot trials.
Failure Analysis: Accountable for driving failure analysis based on reliability testing. Collaborate with suppliers to drive root cause analysis and take them to closure. Specify environmental and reliability tests needed to recreate failure modes. Co-ordinate with internal and external labs to scope out appropriate FA methodologies and interpret results and communicate recommendations.
Reliability Testing and Reporting: Ensure that engineering and test teams to get input on test equipment, custom test jigs, data acquisition systems, and test instrumentation to ensure accurate and consistent results. You will have accountability for owning and reporting all internal durability test data and results through standardized report formats that can act as collateral for customers.
Collaboration: Collaborate with Design, Manufacturing and Asset Management teams to implement and communicate design improvements based on test and field data. Collaborate with Quality team to drive root cause corrective actions and re-create failure modes through testing. Collaborate with Suppliers to specify reliability testing and review reliability test reports.
Risk Analysis & Assessment: Establish systems to apply first principles approach to determining risk and impact. Organize brainstorming sessions with key stakeholders for quick risk discovery. Oversee Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) sessions during the concept and design phase to help identify failure modes specific solar tracker systems and prioritize mitigation strategies.
Reliability Test Planning: Ensure that reliability test plans are developed for products being designed and/or maintained in India. Work with the internal test lab and outdoor solar testing fields to direct and execute long term reliability tests for above type of products at component and system level.
