Reliability Engineer

• Participate in design reviews and document technical assumptions to maintain analytical progress despite design ambiguities
• Perform functional decomposition to map system requirements to specific hardware and software elements
• Execute Physics of Failure (PoF) analysis and component-level reliability predictions utilizing MIL-HDBK-217F (or similar part-stress methodologies) to assess hardware durability and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
• Conduct comprehensive reliability analyses including FMECA per MIL-STD-1629A, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) to identify failure modes and develop design mitigations
• Conduct maintainability analyses such as Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA), Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to develop efficient preventative schedules and most cost-effective maintenance posture
• Interface with logistics stakeholders to ensure R&M analytical outputs are formatted and optimized for seamless integration into the Logistics Product Data (LPD) environment per GEIA-STD-0007
• Develop and maintain R&M artifacts within a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environment using SysML, ensuring all Product Support Analysis (PSA) is centralized according to the established Model Governance Plan
