Responsibilities

Develop and support reliability, availability, and maintainability plans for defense systems throughout the product lifecycle.
Support reliability and maintainability requirements development, allocation, verification, and validation activities.
Perform reliability predictions, reliability block diagram modeling, and trade studies to evaluate design alternatives.
Conduct FMEA, FMECA, and fault tree analyses to identify potential failure modes and recommend design improvements.
Collaborate with systems, electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and test engineers to address reliability risks.
Develop reliability test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria, including appropriate sample sizes and statistical confidence requirements.
Support environmental, life, and reliability growth testing and evaluate results against program requirements.
Analyze laboratory and field performance data to assess failure trends, service life, and reliability metrics.
Investigate failures, support root cause analysis, and verify the effectiveness of corrective actions through FRACAS or equivalent processes.
Evaluate maintainability, repair tasks, and maintenance data to support improved serviceability and sustainment planning.
Prepare technical documentation, including RAM analyses, test reports, risk assessments, and reliability recommendations, and support technical reviews and customer meetings.
Ensure reliability activities follow applicable standards, customer requirements, and company engineering processes; support proposal efforts and technology development initiatives as required.
