As a reliability engineer, understanding the system and its operating context is crucial to mitigating reliability risks. The goal is to ensure a convincing reliability case is constructed, while balancing time and cost constraints. This role requires pragmatism and a solid appreciation that reliability results from good engineering, not just compliance with numerical targets and ensuring the customer's satisfaction by using a range of techniques and approaches to provide the most cost-effective evidence. The role requires ensuring that optimum effort is committed to progressive reliability assurance, with the goal of delivering a lean but effective reliability program.
Our core engineering projects come with the added bonus of internally funded research packages, giving you the chance to really showcase your expertise.

What are we looking for?
- Good knowledge of complex electronic systems and the associated reliability issues (but other engineering subject areas may be considered for candidates with the right strengths in other areas).

- Fully appreciates that reliability is not just a number, and has experience of reliability planning, analysis and testing during development.
- Demonstrable knowledge of the relationship between the reliability life-cycle and the system engineering processes.
- Track record as an effective teammate with strong interpersonal and influencing skills and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary / multi-national team.
