Reliability Engineer IV

Performs MTBF, MTBUR, and FMEA calculations for reliability engineering of mechanical systems. Defines test methods for new and novel designs based on expected failure modes. Defines lifecycle acceptance criteria for seat components and mechanisms. Performs statistics and probability analysis for Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability (RMA). Builds reliability prediction models to evaluate product functionality. Performs Accelerated Stress Testing (AST) and replicates product malfunctions under controlled conditions for failure diagnosis. Applies data analysis techniques including Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), Design of Experiment (DoE), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Provides technical approvals of maturity test plans and test reports and assesses completed test results for acceptability. Contributes to developing engineering solutions to failures observed during the life cycle of seats and components. Serves as a reliability specialist assisting in Technical audits, MER, and Design reviews.
