A Guide to Hardware Integrity and Reliability Testing

Hardware engineers don’t often have a map to reliability testing when they are building a new product. Reliability testing is often custom to each product and must examine both the design intent of the engineers and the criteria of the brand building it. For household items like phones and watches, the steps have been walked by many engineers before them. But for emerging and mission-critical categories, like autonomous vehicles, reliability testing must evolve, and hardware leaders like Maik Duwensee from cruise are pioneering a new reliability mindset: hardware integrity. In this episode, Anna-Katrina speaks with Maik Dewensee, Head of Hardware Integrity at Cruise, about why reliability testing is so important and what consumer electronics can learn from automotive reliability and vice versa. Topics covered: The difference between hardware integrity and reliability What is considered validated from a reliability perspective Tactical strategies from automotive reliability that consumer electronics can use Best practices for reliability data today Make sure you never miss an episode by subscribing to the show in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or by visiting our website.
