New Position Advice
Abstract
Kirk and Fred discuss the advice we would give a engineer just starting a career in Reliability Engineering
Key Points
Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss the way to best way to learn and apply the many tools and methodology of reliability engineering.
Topics include:
- First seek to understand the history of failures in the current and previous lnowledge of how the reliability problems happened, the root cause and how the corrective action was implemented. This can be challenging as most companies do not want to discuss product or production failures.
- Second, seek to understand the company culture and who the decision makers are, and what the managements priorities are.Reliability may not be the highest priority.
- The field of reliability engineering and the benefits of the development of a reliable product take a long time to manifest in the field. At the same time engineers and management may change monthly so it is difficult to prove the efficacy of a particular method in the short term.
- There is a “honeymoon” period in starting a new job position and that is the best time to ask questions to engineering and management, and dig into the field data and what was the corrective action and costs involved.
Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques to field data analysis approaches.

Please click on this link to access a relatively new analysis of traditional reliability prediction methods article from the US ARMY and CALCE titled “Reliability Prediction – Continued Reliance on a Misleading Approach”. It is in the public domain, so please distribute freely. Trying to predict reliability for development is a misleading a costly approach.
You can now purchase the most recent recording of Kirk Gray’s Hobbs Engineering 8 (two 4 hour sessions) hour Webinar “Rapid and Robust Reliability Development 2022 HALT & HASS Methodologies Online Seminar” from this link.
For more information on the newest discovery testing methodology here is a link to the book “Next Generation HALT and HASS: Robust design of Electronics and Systems” written by Kirk Gray and John Paschkewitz.
