TL;DR · Reliability Engineer

Reliability Engineer The Reliability Engineering team ensures autonomous systems survive real-world conditions by applying data, statistical methods, and engineering analysis across the entire product lifecycle. In this role, you will serve as a reliability champion, collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to ensure design robustness from early concept through production scale-up. You will perform predictive reliability analysis, lead Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), conduct Weibull analysis, and manage root-cause failure investigations for field returns. Key technical requirements include proficiency in MIL-HDBK-217Plus, MIL-HDBK-472, and various MIL-STD standards like 810, 461, and 516C. You will develop qualification test plans, including environmental and accelerated testing, to ensure production readiness for defense systems in domains such as Air Dominance, Maritime, and Ground Systems while building out internal reliability infrastructure and standardized processes.

What you'll do

  • Lead Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to implement design improvements.
  • Perform predictive reliability analysis to calculate probability of loss of control and determine MTTF/MTBF metrics.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive qualification and validation test plans for environmental, life, and accelerated testing.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to develop and validate assembly, integration, and testing processes.
  • Conduct Weibull analysis on production and field data to identify failure trends and predict component behavior.
  • Lead root-cause investigations for anomalies from the factory floor or field to drive corrective actions.
  • Develop maintainability prediction models and support the creation of preventative maintenance and sparing plans.
  • Build standardized reliability infrastructure and tools to streamline design, manufacturing, and deployment operations.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 5 years experience as a Reliability Engineer, Design/Development Engineer, or Test Engineer.
  • B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or an equivalent technical discipline.
  • Experience with safety-critical hardware and software systems in the defense or aerospace industry.
  • Familiarity with MIL-STD-810, MIL-HDBK-217, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-516C, and MIL-STD-1629.
  • Expertise in reliability analysis techniques including FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis.
  • Experience developing qualification testing requirements and executing tests to characterize product behavior and performance.
  • Proven track record of performing failure investigations and root cause analysis to prevent reoccurrence.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
