Reliability engineer

Reliability engineers (mechanical) ensure products and equipment perform dependably over their service life. The work involves reliability modelling and failure-mode analysis, designing accelerated life tests, diagnosing the root causes of field failures, and advising on maintenance-strategy trade-offs.

They work in manufacturing, machinery, and industrial settings. The role suits analytical, persistent engineers who enjoy understanding why things fail and the long-game work of designing durability in — so that equipment keeps running long after it leaves the factory.
