Senior Engineer, Reliability (R6440)

Location: On-site in Seattle, Washington, United States

What you will do

• Develop and maintain aircraft-level reliability requirements, objectives, program plans, budgets, metrics, and growth-test requirements.
• Perform reliability predictions, FMEA/FMECA, FTA, RBD, Weibull analysis, allocation, trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and design assessments.
• Support aircraft system safety assessments and technical reviews, including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and reliability review boards.
• Lead or support FRACAS activities and analyze ground-test, flight-test, supplier, maintenance, and field-performance data to identify reliability trends.
• Work with multidisciplinary design teams and suppliers to eliminate single-point failures, reduce high-risk failure modes, improve fault tolerance, and review supplier analyses and test results.
• Communicate reliability performance, risks, budgets, assumptions, and corrective actions to customers and program leadership while mentoring junior engineers and improving reliability processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in reliability engineering, systems engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of related experience in reliability engineering, systems engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• Direct experience supporting aircraft development, integration, testing, sustainment, or operations.
• Experience developing and managing reliability budgets at the system, subsystem, or equipment level.
• Proficiency with FMEA/FMECA, FTA, RBD, Weibull analysis, reliability predictions, and FRACAS.
• Familiarity with MTBF, MTBCF, failure rate, mission reliability, operational availability, and inherent availability metrics.
• Experience using ReliaSoft, Windchill Quality Solutions, Isograph, RAM Commander, or equivalent reliability analysis tools.
• Ability to interpret aircraft mission profiles, operating environments, duty cycles, and test data; work with multidisciplinary teams and suppliers; and communicate through analytical work, technical writing, presentations, and customer interaction.
• Ability to obtain and maintain any security clearance required for the program.

Nice to have

• Experience with military aircraft, unmanned aircraft, or other defense aerospace platforms.
