Design for Reliability Engineer (DfR) - Robotics

As our DfR engineer, you will build the frameworks, tools, and culture that ensure our products are designed to be reliable from day one — not tested into reliability after the fact. You will be a trusted advisor, educator, and technical leader who elevates the entire organization's reliability capability.

ANYbotics transforms industrial inspection with autonomous robots, such as ANYmal, that navigate complex environments to provide unparalleled data insights. Our technology addresses the challenges of hazardous and demanding industries, ensuring safety and efficiency. To maintain our leadership in the mobile robotics market, we prioritize robust engineering and reliability in every component of our hardware and software stack.

In this role, you will define, document, and embed a comprehensive Design for Reliability (DfR) framework into the product development process, establishing critical reliability gates and decision criteria that align with key product milestones. You will standardize core reliability methods across teams—ranging from RBD and FMEA to Weibull analysis and MTBF/MTTR modeling—while leading accelerated life testing programs such as HALT and HASS. Beyond process, you will act as a hands-on mentor and technical coach, building a community of practice and delivering tailored training programs to foster reliability literacy from engineering teams to executive leadership. As the central point of coordination for the reliability domain, you will manage governance by reporting KPIs to leadership, interfacing with suppliers on validation expectations, and driving the continuous evolution of our engineering playbooks based on field feedback and emerging industry trends.
