Senior Engineer, Reliability (R5950)

What you'll do:

• Develop and maintain aircraft-level reliability requirements, objectives, and program reliability plans.
• Establish, allocate, and manage reliability budgets across systems, subsystems, and line-replaceable units.
• Track predicted reliability against program targets and identify components or subsystems driving reliability risk.
• Perform reliability predictions using component failure-rate data, operating environments, and mission profiles.
• Conduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) analysis.
• Support aircraft system safety assessments by providing failure rates, failure modes, and reliability data.
• Develop and maintain Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Mean Time Between Critical Failure (MTBCF), mission reliability, availability, and related reliability metrics.
• Perform reliability allocation, trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and design assessments.
• Lead or support Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) activities.
• Analyze ground-test, flight-test, supplier, maintenance, and field-performance data to identify reliability trends.
• Apply Weibull analysis and other statistical methods to evaluate failure behavior and predict component life.
• Work with design teams to eliminate single-point failures, reduce high-risk failure modes, and improve fault tolerance.
• Review supplier reliability analyses, test results, and supporting technical data.
• Define reliability demonstration and growth-test requirements, success criteria, and data-collection needs.
• Support technical reviews, including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and reliability review boards.
• Communicate reliability performance, budget status, assumptions, risks, and recommended corrective actions to customers and program leadership.
• Mentor junior engineers and improve organizational reliability processes, tools, and standards.
