Senior Director - Product Reliability

Key Responsibilities

Develop and lead the end-to-end product reliability strategy across design, testing, manufacturing, and field performance for electrolyzer systems.

Collaborate deeply with design engineering, R&D, and systems engineering to embed reliability into early design stages (FMEA, DfR, HALT, etc.).

Partner with operations and quality teams to monitor manufacturing consistency, identify systemic issues, and implement corrective / preventive actions (CAPA).

Work closely with field service and customer success to collect, analyze, and respond to real-world performance data and customer feedback.

Own and drive reliability testing programs, including accelerated life testing, environmental testing, stress testing, and statistical reliability validation.

Lead root cause analysis (RCA) on field and test failures, ensuring closed-loop learning feeds back into future designs.

Build and scale a high-performing reliability engineering team with strong analytical and experimental capabilities.

Present reliability metrics and insights to executive leadership, supporting product roadmap and risk management decisions.

Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, safety regulations, and certification requirements.

Desired Qualification :

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical Engineering or related discipline

15+ years of experience in product reliability, systems engineering, or product development, ideally with automotive industry.

Demonstrated success leading cross-functional reliability programs for complex, electro-mechanical products.

Deep knowledge of reliability engineering tools and methodologies (FMEA, Weibull analysis, HALT / HASS, DFMEA, etc.).

Background in automotive reliability, or industrial energy equipment is a strong plus.

Proven ability to bridge engineering and operational teams to drive measurable product improvements.

Strong data analysis skills; proficiency with reliability modeling tools and statistical software.

Exceptional communication, leadership, and organizational skills
