If you are a Quality Manager who prefers filling out spreadsheets and managing a purely administrative role, this is not the position for you. You are someone who rolls up their sleeves, dives into the engineering details, and leads by example to help a multidisciplinary team build robust, high-quality hardware products. #### Main objectives of the role - Technical Authority: Serve as the ultimate technical authority and "go-to" person for establishing confidence ratings on product development risks and defining engineering mitigation actions. - Reliability Champion: Bring a deep, specialized focus to hardware reliability across the product lifecycle, shifting the team toward proactive physics-of-failure engineering. - Team Leadership: Successfully manage, mentor, and coordinate a highly technical, cross-functional team of 4 engineers spanning validation testing, reliability engineering, and development of production test equipment #### Your role and responsibilities - People Management: Lead a team of 4 people: 2 Development-focused Quality Engineers (1 Electrical and 1 Mechanical Engineer), and 1 Test Development Tech Lead and 1 Test Development Engineer developing custom test equipment primarily for QC in production. - Certification: Own our certification strategy and execution end-to-end, ensuring a predictable, successful, and fast certification process to meet ambitious timelines. This includes strong coordination with external certification laboratories and involvement of the right stakeholders (compliance bodies) at the right time of a project. - Hardware Reliability: Bring a strong focus to hardware reliability, taking ownership of methodologies such as HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening). - Engineering Investigations: Take the lead on deep-dive engineering investigations of technical issues arising from both early product development and the field. - Validation Strategy: Help bring best practices to the definition and documentation of the product validation plan, test strategy, and test coverage. - Execution & Coordination: Plan, estimate costs, and coordinate all product validation and test development activities. #### What you need to succeed in this role - Practical Engineering Experience: A strong, hands-on engineering background (Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or related discipline) with extensive "on-the-bench" experience. - Reliability Expertise: Proven experience implementing HALT/HASS testing and translating stress-testing data into actual product design improvements. - Root-Cause Mastery: Exceptional skills in engineering investigation and root-cause analysis, with the ability to guide a team through complex technical troubleshooting. - Cross-Functional Literacy: The ability to understand and speak the language of mechanical, electrical, and software test engineers seamlessly. - Pragmatic Leadership: Experience leading small teams of engineers with a collaborative, supportive style that balances strict quality standards with product delivery timelines. #### We offer you At HOLOPLOT we work in a flexible hybrid setup with trust-based working hours, giving you the freedom to organise your day in a way that supports focus, deep work and balance. Pay is competitive and fair, and we offer perks and benefits such as subsidised public transport, lunch allowances, Urban Sports and a company pension scheme. You’ll join an international, open-minded team across software, hardware, product and research, in an environment with plenty of autonomy and ownership. You’ll work on cutting-edge audio technology, turn complex requirements into working solutions and contribute to global projects, with support for your growth through individual development plans, mentoring and coaching. ## How to apply Apply on the job page, https://germanydevjobs.com/jobs/holoplot-quality-reliability-engineer-team-lead-f-m-d-kvvgffq: its Apply button opens the employer's own application page. ## More jobs from Holoplot - [Senior Research Engineer (f/m/d)](https://germanydevjobs.com/jobs/holoplot-senior-research-engineer-f-m-d-ri69vfr): Holoplot, Berlin, Germany.
