When answering this question, focus on the methodologies and practices you use to ensure that the hardware you design is both reliable and durable. Mention specific techniques such as stress testing, thermal analysis, and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). Discuss any industry standards you adhere to, such as IPC standards for circuit boards. Provide examples from past projects where you successfully implemented these practices to enhance hardware reliability and durability.
Example: "To ensure the reliability and durability of the hardware I design, I follow a comprehensive approach that includes stress testing, thermal analysis, and FMEA. For instance, in my previous role at XYZ Corp, I designed a circuit board for a consumer electronics product. I conducted extensive stress tests to simulate real-world conditions and used thermal analysis to ensure the components could withstand high temperatures. Additionally, I performed FMEA to identify potential failure points and mitigate them early in the design process. Adhering to IPC standards, I was able to deliver a robust and reliable product that met all client specifications."
