TL;DR · Reliability Engineering Manager

The Reliability Engineering Manager leads a team of engineers to ensure autonomous systems survive real-world conditions and deliver consistent performance across the product lifecycle. This leader manages resource allocation, provides technical mentorship, and develops tailored reliability and maintainability program plans for domains including Counter-UAS, Maritime, and Ground Systems. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting FMEA/FMECA, Fault Tree Analysis, and Qualification Test Plans, while defining reliability requirements for hardware and software integration. The role requires expertise in predictive modeling, Weibull analysis, and HALT/HASS methodologies to drive design robustness and failure prevention. Candidates must navigate complex technical standards such as MIL-STD-810 and MIL-HDBK-217. Proficiency with tools like Relyence, Teamcenter, Confluence, and JIRA is preferred to manage risk databases and ensure operational resilience in demanding environments.

What you'll do

  • Lead and mentor a team of Reliability Engineers on technical principles and artifact development.
  • Develop and implement tailored reliability and maintainability program plans for various product domains.
  • Conduct and review complex reliability artifacts including FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, and Qualification Test Plans.
  • Define reliability requirements and collaborate with design teams to implement solutions at the component and system levels.
  • Lead maintainability efforts including predictive maintenance analysis and the development of preventive maintenance procedures.
  • Manage product risk databases and ensure the implementation of effective risk mitigation strategies.
  • Drive continuous improvement in reliability processes, methodologies, and tools across the organization.
  • Provide executive-level reporting on team performance, program status, and strategic reliability initiatives.

  • B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
  • M.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline (preferred).
  • 7+ years of experience in Reliability Engineering, with at least 1 year in a leadership role.
  • 10+ years of experience in Reliability Engineering, with at least 3 years in a leadership role (preferred).
  • Proven track record building, scaling, and managing technical teams of 5+ engineers for complex advanced hardware programs.
  • Deep technical expertise in reliability analysis techniques including FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis.
  • Extensive knowledge of MIL-STD-810, MIL-HDBK-217, 217PLUS, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-516C, and MIL-STD-1629 or other relevant industry standards.
  • Eligibility to receive and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
