The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, self-driven, and can multitask as needed.

Responsibilities Will Include

• Work within the Special Disciplines team and may lead a small Reliability team or project
• Develop, coordinate and conduct technical reliability studies and evaluations of engineering design concepts and design of experiments (doe) constructs.
• Recommend design or test methods and statistical process control procedures for achieving required levels of product reliability
• Compile and evaluate performance reports and process control statistics; investigate and analyze relevant variables potentially affecting product and processes
• Ensure that corrective measures meet acceptable reliability standards
• Evaluate preliminary plans and develop reliability engineering programs to achieve company, customer and governmental agency reliability objectives
• Develop mathematical models to identify units, batches or processes posing excessive failure risks
• Propose changes in design or formulation to improve system and/or process reliability
• Determine units and/or batches requiring environmental testing, and specifies minimum number of samples to obtain statistically valid data

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Performing engineering analysis in Aerospace industry or Space Systems
• Experience with Reliability principles, practices, and understanding of root cause analysis
• Knowledge and experience with probability, statistical concepts, and mathematical modelling
• Experience with subsystems to system level integration

Desired Skills

• Spacecraft/Missile experience
