Christchurch, New Zealand Basis Full time

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

We recently closed our Series A capital raise, so we're well-funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing and startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process

**The Role**

We are seeking to grow our quality capability with our first internal Reliability Engineer role This is a super exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Reliability Engineer to grow an entire capability within the business. You'll be helping us to extend our capabilities with your excellent skills and guidance. We have an existing design and verification team, functional prototypes, and a growing quality and manufacturing team - and we need to push these further to deliver highly reliable and safe products to market.

To be clear - this is not a role where you'll be simply tweaking and nurturing some old products along. Instead, you'll be working with a new and well-funded business, developing exciting new products in our new design labs. We have a desire for world-leading capability to achieve our dreams, and you will have a mandate for change and improvement.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- Develop resource and time-efficient strategies for rapidly addressing reliability improvements, and think boldly how to yield world-class reliability from a startup environment.
- Identify reliability concerns through data analysis, trends, incident reports, root cause analysis, expert insights and review.
- Transfer information and findings from reliability testing and reliability analysis across the organisation in ways that make the information easily accessible to all audiences.
- Develop reliability testing techniques, methods, and plans. Fabricate or procure test equipment, setups or capability. Execute tests.
- Build relationships with other test houses or service suppliers and supplement internal reliability coverage to meet our strategic objectives.
- Provide technical expertise and guidance to manufacturing teams to ensure consistent product quality.

If you're looking for a jump-in boots-and-all opportunity to make a real impact, then we want to hear from you Full job description available here.
