I work in Reliability Engineering; in short, I do everything feasible to make day to day products as rugged as possible. AMA!
Hi! My name is Jordan, I'm a Solutions Engineer for Espec. My company is the single largest sole producer of environmental test chambers in the world. What does that mean? It means that the only thing we focus on is product ruggedization.
I exist to help make the things you purchase everyday more reliable. Your phones, your dishwashers, your child's pacifiers, your guitars, your gaming systems, your cars, your cars's tires, etc. I literally exist and am paid to help make everything you interact with better at a more cost effective price.
Please, AMA. I want to know why you want to know why things are more expensive but last a longer time (or less long) time. Ask me why the space program feels like it's slower. Is AI the future? If there is an engineering answer, I'll give it to you, no holds barred, and I'll explain what I can about it.
From one human to another, I've done the crazy corporatist bullshit, let me talk to you soul to soul, and explain the physics and math behind the manufacturing world.
Cheers from humanity!
