At least 5 years of experience in reliability engineering, maintainability engineering, product assurance, or related engineering disciplines.
Knowledge of reliability principles, probability, statistics, life distributions, and failure rate analysis.
Experience performing Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
Experience developing reliability predictions, reliability block diagrams, and reliability and maintainability assessments.
Experience analyzing test or field failure data and conducting root cause analysis to support corrective actions.
Familiarity with reliability testing, environmental testing, and verification of complex hardware and software systems.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate technical findings to engineering teams and customers.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree in an engineering discipline, Reliability Engineering, Applied Statistics, or a related field.

Familiarity with MIL-HDBK-217, MIL-HDBK-338, MIL-HDBK-472, MIL-STD-810, or comparable reliability and environmental engineering guidance.
Proficiency with reliability analysis software and statistical tools such as ReliaSoft, Minitab, MATLAB, or Python.
Experience with Weibull analysis, accelerated life testing, reliability growth testing, or Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT).
Experience with Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action Systems (FRACAS) and closed-loop failure resolution.
ASQ Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) certification.
Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance.

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.
