Reliability Engineer

Preference: someone has Active Secret Clearance

Position Responsibilities

• Analyze system requirements and develop an RM&SH engineering program plan to achieve RM&SH objectives.
• Allocate and predict failure rates (Mean Time Between Failure) for components and systems and measure against program requirements.
• Develop Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) to represent the relationship between components of a system and asses overall system reliability.
• Perform Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to identify and mitigate risk of system failure and support proposed changes in design.
• Assess Fault Detection and Fault Isolation metrics for Availability impacts and concerns.
• Actively participate on design teams, provide guidance and recommendations to designers and management to ensure safety and reliability objectives are met.
• Supervise testing and demonstrations at supplier, plant, or field locations to evaluate reliability factors, such as numbers and causes of unit failures or maintainability risks.
• Conduct closed-loop Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) to establish root cause, failure trends, and opportunities to improve system reliability and safety.
• Ensure adherence to industry standards, regulatory requirements, and company safety policies.
• Engage directly with RM&SH Engineering capability to ensure compliance with BDS RM&SH requirements for people, processes, and tools.
• Travel may be required up to 10% of the time; domestically and/or internationally depending on business needs.
