TL;DR · Senior Reliability Engineer

JOB TITLE: Senior Reliability Engineer The Senior Reliability Engineer joins the Reliability Engineering team to ensure autonomous systems survive real-world conditions and deliver consistent performance. This role spans the complete product lifecycle, from early concept design through production scale-up and fielded operations. You will act as the reliability champion, collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to build robust designs. Key responsibilities include performing predictive reliability analysis, leading Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and executing qualification and production test plans. You will utilize data-driven methods like Weibull analysis and maintainability modeling to solve hardware reliability issues. Required expertise includes familiarity with MIL-STD-810, MIL-HDBK-217, and MIL-STD-461 standards to drive design robustness, failure prevention, and rapid response to issues in the field.

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 MTTF/MTBF.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive qualification and validation test plans for environmental and accelerated testing.
  • Partner with manufacturing to validate assembly, integration, and testing processes to optimize build reliability.
  • Develop maintainability prediction models and support the creation of preventative maintenance and sparing plans.
  • Perform Weibull analysis on qualification and production data to identify failure trends.
  • Lead root-cause investigations for anomalies from production and the field to drive corrective actions.
  • Develop and implement standardized reliability processes and infrastructure to accelerate design and deployment.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 8 years experience as a Reliability Engineer, Design/Development Engineer, or Test Engineer.
  • B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
  • Experience with safety-critical hardware and software systems in the defense or aerospace industry.
  • Experience or familiarity with MIL-STD-810, MIL-HDBK-217, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-516C, and MIL-STD-1629.
  • Experience setting up a Reliability Engineering framework including production testing, field testing, data acquisition, and data analysis.
  • Expertise in reliability analysis techniques including FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis.
  • Experience generating qualification testing requirements and executing tests to characterize product behavior and performance.
  • Failure investigation and analysis experience with a proven track record of solving problems and preventing reoccurrence.
  • Design Review Experience (PDR, CDR, MRR) and confidence in presentation skills across all levels of leadership.
  • Eligibility to obtain or maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
  • M.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline (preferred).
  • Experience with MIL-HDBK-217Plus, MIL-HDBK-472, MIL-STD-1916 (preferred).
  • Experience with Manufacturing Readiness Level Assessments, Manufacturing Review Board, Quality Inspection, Tooling, or Calibration (preferred).
  • Experience with risk management, change control/change management reviews, and software/firmware HITL/SITL (preferred).
  • Experience with HALT, HASS, Environmental Testing, and/or Mechanical Testing (preferred).
  • Technical writing experience developing requirements, standards, specifications, user guides, and policies (preferred).
