Reliability Engineer

Job Description

This Reliability Engineer role will include a wide variety of reliability engineering tasks and activities as part of a team within the Systems Engineering, Integration & Test (SEIT) organization, with a primary focus on electrical and electronics assemblies.

Responsibilities will include:
• Developing reliability and maintainability predictions using approved prediction methodologies for electrical/electronic packages, systems, and support equipment
• Performing Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), at the schematic (piece-part) and interface level
• Supporting design reviews as required and presenting reliability results to management and customer.
• Reviewing discrepancy documentation weekly for applicability to the organization
• Provide electronics piece-part reliability support, including associated drawing reviews, parts control boards, and failure review boards
• Supporting failure investigation teams and developing reliability / probabilistic assessments based on root cause of flight and ground test anomalies / failures
• Performing system level severity / likelihood assessments for test program trends and failures

As a Reliability Engineer, you will spend much of your time working in a team environment, obtaining inputs from other engineers, performing analyses, and creating presentations / reports. There may be some travel. You will interact with engineers, suppliers, quality, production operations, program managers, customers, and customer consultants. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, self-driven, can multitask as needed.
