TL;DR · Staff Reliability Engineer

Staff Reliability Engineer The Staff Reliability Engineer joins the Reliability Engineering team to ensure autonomous systems survive real-world conditions and deliver consistent performance across the product lifecycle. This role involves performing predictive reliability analysis, leading Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and executing comprehensive qualification and validation test plans including environmental and accelerated testing. The engineer will conduct Weibull analysis, lead root-cause failure investigations from the factory floor and field, and develop maintainability prediction models. Key technical requirements include expertise in hardware reliability, familiarity with MIL-HDBK-217Plus, MIL-HDBK-472, and various MIL-STDs, alongside experience with HALT, HASS, and manufacturing readiness assessments. The role addresses the critical challenge of ensuring robust design and production readiness for safety-critical systems in defense domains such as Air Dominance, Maritime, Ground Systems, and Space.

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 mean time between failures.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive qualification and validation test plans for environmental, life, and accelerated testing.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to validate assembly processes and optimize build reliability.
  • 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 12 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 establishing reliability engineering frameworks for products, including production testing, field testing, and data analysis.
  • Proven track record of performing failure investigations and root cause analysis to prevent reoccurrence.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
