Job Description

Quality & Reliability Engineer building quality and reliability processes for Frontline’s connected wildfire-defense hardware. Investigating field failures and driving supplier, manufacturing, and design fixes.

Responsibilities:

  • Stand up Frontline’s hardware quality and reliability function and run it hands-on
  • Own the loop that turns field failures into root causes and permanent fixes across designs, suppliers, and the contract manufacturer
  • Establish the failure analysis, root cause, and corrective action process and tracking/review cadence
  • Define and track quality and reliability metrics
  • Help define, build, and run HALT/HASS, life, environmental, and other reliability tests
  • Lead end-to-end field-failure investigations from field and telemetry signals to verified root cause
  • Drive and verify fixes across mechanical, electromechanical, fluidic, and electronic systems and feed them back into design
  • Partner with field support and operations to quantify failure modes and prioritize reliability improvements
  • Resolve supplier issues through containment, corrective action, incoming inspection, and verification
  • Qualify new and second-source suppliers and work with contract manufacturers on build quality
  • Build quality gates into new product introduction and review design and BOM changes for risk
  • Partner with hardware engineering, operations, and field support

Requirements:

  • 5+ years in quality and/or reliability engineering for physical, deployed hardware (electromechanical, fluidic, or connected-device a plus)
  • Demonstrated ownership of failure analysis and corrective action, driven to verified closure
  • Direct supplier and contract-manufacturer quality experience: corrective action, incoming inspection, and qualification
  • Reliability-testing experience (HALT/HASS, life, environmental) and the ability to act on the results
  • Comfortable building process and doing the work in a scaling company, and willing to travel to the field and suppliers
  • Field or operations exposure: debugging deployed systems and working with installers
  • Connected/IoT products: telemetry-driven diagnostics and firmware/OTA failure modes
  • Familiarity with reliability statistics and PLM/ECO and BOM rigor
  • Successful completion of comprehensive background checks, including employment and education verification

Benefits:

  • Company-provided cell phone and laptop
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Flexible time off + 14 paid holidays (yes, your birthday is one of them!)
  • Work-from-home stipend to support your remote setup
  • Remote-first work environment, fostering work-life balance and autonomy
  • Company-provided equipment
  • Join a high-performing, mission-driven team doing work that truly matters
  • And much more!
