GENERAL SUMMARY

Support Reliability Engineering and Systems Engineering vehicle development associated tasks for Internal Research and Development (IRAD) and government contracted assignments. The support is through performing various tasks such as, database development and customization, test data analysis, data statistical analysis, gathering technical data and assisting in presentation material preparation.

• Develop, conduct, and facilitate component/subsystem/system FMEA, FMECA, DRBFM Analysis, including RCM Analysis and FTA, with cross-functional teams, e.g., system and design engineers, QA, manufacturing, test personnel, etc.
• Collaborates with cross-functional teams to determine root causes and potential corrective actions related to design and reliability deficiencies throughout the design development, integration and test phases; and incorporating seen failure modes into the FACARs, FMEAs and FMECAs
• Review, track and respond to Test Incident Reports (TIR) / Failure Corrective Action Reports (FACAR) for assigned subsystems
• Collaborates with Product Teams, IPTs and System & Maintenance Engineers to evaluate and identify opportunities to improve system reliability and cost savings for maintenance
• Develop & update RAM documentation including, but not limited to DFR, FMEA/FMECAs, RCM Analysis, TIRs/FACARs, and create packages for Assessment & Scoring Conferences
• Assist in prepare materials for management, customers &/or IPT meetings that address product reliability issues, as required
• Support Risk Management Processes by identifying, documenting, status and manage risks, as necessary
• Prepare and participate in program/customer Failure Prevention Review Board (FPRB) & Configuration Control Board (CCB), and IPT, while reporting on status and metrics
• Assist with failed test components, subsystems within the RAM returned material area and routed to product engineering, suppliers and external test labs which entails receipt, tag and track and manage parts
• Review Reliability Contractual Data Requirements & Deliverables
• Support other systems engineering teams when possible, such as Requirements, Systems Architecture, M&S/FEA Group, Test Engineering, etc.
• Experienced writer, able to create, author, and publish accurate test reports for internal and external customer(s), with little to no assistance
• Ability to support and lead Test Engineering work assignments independently, while instrumenting, acquiring and reduce test datamay require leading a small team in an overall project assignment
• Manage and maintain the instrumentation database, GAGETrak, which entails ensuring the test equipment has been calibrated, including notifying the Test Manager when instrumentation requires calibrated 1-2 months prior to recalibration
• Perform other duties and special tasks as assigned

• BSME, BSEE or a related degree with 3-5 years of experience in Reliability & Test in the military industry
• 5 plus years of experience on total vehicle or component design and testing
• Good verbal and written communication with strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Familiar with reliability metrics: MTBF, MTTR, MR and Ao
• Familiar and experienced with DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and ICDs
• Ability to derive System, Subsystem/Component Level Requirements
• Familiar with Team Track applications PIM and DTS; including Team Center Vis Mock-up
• Experienced with VDLS government system (i.e., TIRs and test data)
• Ability to acquire Test Data via different acquisitions, DEWESoft, Campbell, B&K Noise Acquisition System, including utilizing test equipment…
