What you will do:
The reliability engineer’s (RE) main purpose is to ensure a Litens’ design is validated for a customer application.

To achieve this purpose their scope of work includes:

Understanding how the product fails with the intended functions under defined operating conditions for a period of time.

Utilizing Design For Reliability (DFR) tools to help understand how the design works and identify failure modes and mechanisms.

Utilizing Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) models and Reliability Prognostics to demonstrate the reliability meets the customer requirements

Documenting and taking ownership of Validation Plans in the industry standard DVP&R;

Main duties/responsibilities
Ensure each product designed has a DVP&R; which will confirm and document the Reliability and Robustness. This means the RE has ownership of this document and must ensure the document is completed and the results are acceptable.

Create Reliability Demonstration tests to ensure Litens’ products meet Reliability targets or criteria. The RE must utilize Reliability Engineering principals and tools to define these tests.

Create the Design For Reliability (DFR) documents the help understand how the product functions and fails.



The documents also help the RE to identify the operating conditions and life targets set by the customer and the application.

Identify the New and Unknown parts of the design at the component level and interface level to help prioritize the higher risk potential failures for testing. These should be noted on the DFR documents where appropriate

Review Customer requirements for each design to help create Reliability and Robustness tests to meet those requirements from a Reliability standpoint. Include these reliability requirements in the DFR documents.

Supports the creation and maintenance of Global Test Specifications (GTS) for Litens’ products.

Participate in the Reliability Engineering Team development of the Platform DVP&R; for Litens’ products.

Participate in the Reliability Engineering Team development of the database for documenting failure mechanisms and historical corrective actions (FRACAS).

What you will bring:

Knowledge of the tools used in the field of Reliability Engineering including; SOR reviews, Risk Analysis, Parameter Diagrams, Boundary Diagrams, Interface Analysis, Noise Factor Matrix, DVP&R;, DOE, ALT, HALT, HASS, Statistical Analysis (Weibull, Normal, Log-Normal,), Key Life Testing

Working knowledge of TS16949, APQP procedures, Reliability Engineering, Blueprint Reading, Advanced Measuring Techniques, Computer Literate

Ability to review and critique 3D CAD models, as well as 2D detailed engineering prints for conformance to Design Statement of Requirements

Ability to develop Parameter Diagrams, Boundary Diagrams, Interface Analysis, Noise Factor Matrix, FTA, DFMEA and DVP&R;

Ability to prepare and conduct technical presentations on PowerPoint

Ability to discuss, direct and participate in technical discussions surrounding Reliability and Robustness of Product Design

Familiarization with customers’ systems and methodologies in Reliability Methods would be an asset

Experience and/or knowledge in the application of GD&T;, QFD, DFM, DFA, DFS, VE/VA, DFMEA, DRBFM, PFMEA, Floor Plans, Process Flow Diagrams, Control Plans.

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical / Mechatronic / Electrical Engineering with 3-5 years minimum experience in Quality and Reliability Engineering role in the automotive industry





Experience in applying Reliability / Key Life Testing methodologies to Mechatronic Products and Power train applications

Knowledge of manufacturing processes, high / low pressure diecasting, molding, machining, assembly, testing and gauging

Above average analytical, organizational and communication skills both verbal and written

Highly motivated self-starter with exceptional organizational skills

Additional Information:

Compensation: $110,000 to $115,000 annually

Recruitment Technology: Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to screen, assess, or select applicants for this position.

Accommodations for disabilities in relation to the job selection process are available upon request.

Here’s to celebrating our people, our community, and the spirit of Canada.#canadaday #employeeappreciation #employeeevent #litens

Why thicker joints fail.Joint size in #cobots and #humanoids is a safety constraint before it is a mechanical one.Every millimeter of axial stack consumed by the motion components is a millimeter taken away from the safety electronics that make the robot certifiable for human-collaborative work. Push those #electronics out of the joint and you push them into external controllers - adding cabling, latency and failure modes.Modern joints have to host a stack of #safety functions - safe stopping, speed and position monitoring, #torque limiting, fault detection and more. Each demands silicon, isolation and routing that has to sit close to the motor to react fast enough to protect a human. A thicker joint forces designers to strip, relocate or compromise on that layer and compromised safety is the failure mode nobody talks about until #certification.Geometry is a safety strategy.The Litens #eAXActuator is built for this trade. A flat architecture collapses stack height without sacrificing output torque - freeing packaging volume for the safety electronics that today's standards demand.#Robotics #FunctionalSafety #Actuators #Litens #eAX
