System Safety & Reliability Engineer
About The Position
The System Safety & Reliability Engineer works with a team to understand product safety and reliability attributes and manage risks to acceptable levels. The role integrates knowledge across engineering disciplines to support complex systems and reliable operation under challenging conditions. It includes mathematical modeling, probabilistic safety assessments, and hazard assessments to derive actionable product insights, as well as analysis of component and system failure mechanisms and their effects. The engineer evaluates product degradation and failure mechanisms and develops deterministic or probabilistic/data-mining models to characterize them. The role also assesses new and derivative designs, product operation, and maintenance practices; develops and deploys safety and reliability models at component, system, asset, and fleet levels; supports product development and new product introduction with safety and reliability analyses and documentation; and contributes to FRACAS and reliability initiatives in development and in-service phases. This is a full-time role based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The employer describes hybrid work as locally managed, with an average expectation of attending the workplace three days per week. Relocation assistance is available. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, or PhD degree in Mathematics, Actuarial Science, or Engineering.
- Must be a U.S. citizen.
Nice To Haves
- Multi-disciplinary collaboration skills, including facilitation and communication at the component, sub-system, and system level.
- Technical experience using safety and/or reliability engineering tools such as Weibull++, XFMEA, XFRACAS, @RISK, or Reliability Workbench.
- Ability to apply logical, analytical, and innovative thinking to a range of technical problems.
- Technical experience deploying safety and/or reliability engineering tools and methods.
- ASQ membership and progress toward Certified Reliability Engineer credentials.
Responsibilities
- Understand product degradation and failure mechanisms and their consequences, with the aim of eliminating or reducing product hazards.
- Develop models that characterize degradation and failure mechanisms using deterministic or probabilistic/data-mining techniques.
- Assess new and derivative design solutions, product operation, and maintenance practices for their impact on product safety and reliability.
- Develop and deploy models at component, system, asset, and fleet levels to characterize product safety and reliability.
- Support associated part and function classification activities.
- Support product development and new product introduction through Safety & Reliability Engineering analysis and documentation, including FHA, FMECA, and System Safety Assessment.
- Support FRACAS and reliability initiatives during development and in-service phases.
