Responsibilities

Establish and execute reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) programs, procedures, and databases for an airborne system.
Understand failure modes and mechanisms at physical and software levels, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, Built-in-Test (BIT), and interface-related failures.
Review Fault Isolation and troubleshooting procedures for thoroughness and accuracy.
Support or lead FMEA/FMECA meetings to capture and mitigate real-world failures.
Calculate observed reliability and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), relating results to reliability predictions and models such as RBD and FTA.
Lead maintainability analyses through aircraft and mission-system design and development, including Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and Level of Repair Analysis (LORA).
Calculate BIT Fault Detection Rate, Fault Isolation Rate, and False Alarm Rate to support testability analysis.
Collaborate with the Software Development team on Design for Test using BIT and Built-in-Test Equipment (BITE).
Promote Reliability Centered Maintenance, implement Predictive Maintenance processes, and recommend logistical and engineering improvements to long-term system sustainability and mission readiness.
Contribute to oversight of scheduled and corrective maintenance procedures, recommended spare-parts lists, and tools and test-equipment lists using FRACAS trends.
Participate in safety analyses, including Human Machine Interface and other Human Factors design principles related to mission operation and success.
Apply Integrated Product Support and Integrated Logistics Support principles to provisioning practices and recommendations for a fielded aircraft and mission system, supporting operational availability.
Collaborate with the Program Team to prevent or mitigate component obsolescence through DMSMS activities, including supporting parts and component selection for new product designs with design engineers.
Collaborate with Risk Management to issue or support risks based on predicted and observed reliability data and trends.
Create professional, data-driven presentations to brief technical decisions and recommendations to internal stakeholders and external vendors or customers.
Set high ethical standards for self and others.
Perform other duties as assigned.
