You will perform predictive reliability analysis, lead Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and execute qualification and validation test plans. Key responsibilities include conducting Weibull analysis, leading root-cause failure investigations, and developing maintainability prediction models. You will utilize technical standards including MIL-HDBK-217Plus, MIL-HDBK-472, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-516C, and MIL-STD-1629. This position addresses critical national security requirements by developing robust hardware and software systems for Intelligence Community customers.

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 Quality and Manufacturing Engineering to validate assembly, integration, and testing processes.
  • Develop maintainability prediction models and support the creation of preventative maintenance and sparing plans.
  • Perform Weibull analysis on qualification, production, and fielded data to identify failure trends.
  • Lead root-cause investigations for anomalies from the factory floor and the field to drive corrective actions.
  • Develop and implement standardized reliability processes and infrastructure to accelerate design and deployment operations.

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 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.
  • Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security 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 MRL Assessments, MRB, Quality Inspection, Tooling, or Calibration (preferred).
  • Experience with risk management, change control/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).
