Reliability Engineer

As a Reliability Engineer, you will be responsible for planning and delivering Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) activities across the project lifecycle. You will develop reliability models, support design reviews and produce the technical evidence required for R&M and Safety Cases., * Plan and deliver Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) activities throughout the project lifecycle.

• Develop reliability prediction models, Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) and FMECAs.
• Produce quantitative evidence to support R&M Cases and Safety Cases.
• Analyse, manage and maintain RAM requirements, ensuring traceability from requirements through to verification and validation.
• Work with Systems Engineering teams to develop appropriate system architectures and designs.
• Ensure engineering processes and outputs comply with relevant Defence Standards, regulations and industry best practice.
• Use Isograph for reliability prediction modelling, RBDs and associated FMECAs.
• Lead the development and delivery of reliability models and technical case reports.
• Work with customers and internal stakeholders to manage technical queries, requirements and design changes.
• Support Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) modelling to help define effective support solutions and spares strategies.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of reliability engineering tools, processes and ways of working.
• Promote consistency, technical best practice and effective engineering processes across projects.

Are you a Reliability Engineer with experience delivering complex systems within the defence, aerospace or another safety-critical environment?

You will play a key role in developing reliability, availability and maintainability evidence throughout the engineering lifecycle, while working closely with systems engineers, customers and other technical stakeholders., * Degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
