Company mission

Reliable Robotics' mission is to help create a world in which aircrafts fly themselves, using artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, and automation.

Role

Who you are

  • Bachelor's degree in science or engineering or equivalent industry experience
  • 2+ years of manufacturing, integration, design, and/or testing experience, preferably with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in Printed Circuit Board assembly (PCBA) or wire harnesses
  • Hands-on confidence in troubleshooting, repair, setup, and operating complex avionics products
  • Understanding and familiarity with manufacturing, processing, and materials knowledge within a safety-critical environment
  • Proficiency with computer-aided design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, such as NX and Teamcenter

Desirable

  • Experience with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulatory requirements such as ISO 9001 / AS9100
  • Electro-mechanical assembly and prototype development experience
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

What the job involves

  • As an Electrical Manufacturing Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the Production team and report to the Manufacturing Engineering Manager
  • You’ll play a critical role in developing and continuously improving all aspects of our manufacturing, integration, and supply chain processes to meet design and business requirements, including safety, quality, cost, and on-time delivery
  • This is a small but growing team of highly motivated people who are passionate about delivering quality products and services on time, with unquestionable value
  • You will be responsible for designing the build and integration process for electrical/avionics products, conducting design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) reviews, and developing processes and infrastructure to help the business scale
  • The projects you work on will set the foundation for how the business operates for years to come
  • Responsible for building, integrating, testing, diagnostics, inspecting, and maintaining Reliable designed electrical or avionics assemblies, harnessing, interconnects, and other commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products
  • Collaborate with the avionics and mechanical design teams, technicians, and aircraft mechanics to increase the velocity of product development
  • Represent the production organization in all design reviews and partner with responsible engineers to evaluate designs for cost, producibility, inspectability, consistency, adequacy, accuracy, and conformance to requirements
  • Assure product and process quality by testing finished-product and process capabilities, establishing standards, and developing manufacturing processes
  • Improve integration and manufacturing processes, including work instruction development
  • Resolve product non-conformances and collaborate with the quality team to implement root-cause corrective actions

Our take

The landscape of vehicles is rapidly changing with automation and robotics seeing application in cars, trucks, and even spacecraft. Whilst airplanes have seen semi-automatic pilot modes for decades, a human pilot is still required to finetune automated processes and to conduct routine tasks such as taxiing and landings.

Reliable Robotics provides self-driving technology to allow small cargo planes to make routine cargo deliveries without a pilot. Founded by former SpaceX and Tesla engineers, the company claims that all cognitive abilities required to fly a plane can be automated through machine learning and remote pilot assistance. This will allow cargo planes to utilize the thousands of smaller airports and rural landing strips that are currently underused due to the difficulty of manual landing in areas with poor infrastructure.

The company has attracted significant funding over the years, which is being used in research and development and improving the capabilities of its autonomous aircraft systems. Going forward the company plans to outfit larger cargo planes with its technology, and eventually trial autonomous passenger flights.
