Responsibilities

Understanding the product's degradation and failure mechanisms, associated consequences, with the aim to eliminate or reduce product hazards.
Develop models that characterize these mechanisms using deterministic or probabilistic/data mining techniques.
Assess new and derivative design solutions, product operation and maintenance practices to evaluate the impact on product safety and reliability.
Develop and deploy models at component, system, asset, and fleet levels to characterize product safety and reliability.
Support the associated part/function classification activities.
Support product development and new product introduction phases through Safety & Reliability Engineering analysis and documentation (e.g. FHA, FMECA, System Safety Assessment, etc.).
Support the FRACAS and Reliability Initiatives in development and in-service phases.
