Job description

Join our Reliability Sciences team in this position where you will be supporting the design and development of the BIT ( Built In Test ) architecture, hardware/software, strategies and methodologies for new and existing Electronic Warfare products. The position scope may also expand to include performing other reliability tasks such as MIL-HDBK-217 predictions, Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis, and Failure Analysis. You will work on teams developing and producing electro-optical, communication, avionics and Electronic Counter Measures for ground, space, airborne and shipboard platforms.

BAE Systems Reliability Sciences Engineers are involved with every stage of the equipment lifecycle from concept through development, Integration & Test, production and field support. The selected candidate will have significant interaction across the company including program office, all engineering disciplines and production functions and this will provide for a fast-paced, educational, and fulfilling experience. Your efforts will have a positive impact on front line warfighter s effectiveness and daily quality of life.

In this Built In Test ( BIT ) / Reliability Engineer opportunity you will make impacts on the following ways;

  • Work with a cross-functional team to develop BIT and test automation strategies and methodologies.
  • Apply your engineering skills and education to investigate, analyze, and evaluate system designs for proper testability.
  • Ensure the BIT design is adequate to meet customer requirements for fault detection and fault isolation.
  • Develop Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts including activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, etc. that represent the BIT design.
  • Influence product development by supporting the design team to establish BIT functions, test interface requirements and diagnostic features.
  • Supports BIT integration activities by testing or overseeing the testing of BIT features, investigating results, and implementing corrective actions to the BIT design.
