Reliability Engineer

Axiom Space is building the world’s first commercial space station – Axiom Station. Serving as a cornerstone for sustained human presence in space, this next-generation orbital platform fosters groundbreaking innovation and research in microgravity, and cultivates the vibrant, global space economy of tomorrow. Today, driven by the vision of leading humanity's journey off planet, Axiom Space is the principal provider of commercial human spaceflight services to the International Space Station and developer of advanced spacesuits for the Moon and low-Earth orbit. Axiom Space is building era-defining space infrastructure that drives exploration and fuels a vibrant space economy that will empower our civilization to transcend Earth for the benefit of every human, everywhere.

Axiom Space fosters a work environment inclusive of all perspectives. We are the pioneers of commercial space, leading the transformation of low-Earth orbit into a global space marketplace. Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamicReliability Engineer who is fueled by high ownership, execution horsepower, growth mindset, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.

We are looking for a resilient, high-energy, experienced Reliability Engineer, who will be part of a multi-disciplinary team responsible for flight system safety and reliability that will interface with design engineers, safety engineers, and representatives from other subsystems to plan, document, and execute effective strategies for eliminating and/or minimizing risk and ensuring operational reliability.

POSITION SUMMARY

We are looking for a resilient, high-energy, experienced Reliability Engineer, who will be part of a multi-disciplinary team responsible for flight system safety and reliability that will interface with design engineers, safety engineers, and representatives from other subsystems to plan, document, and execute effective strategies for eliminating and/or minimizing risk and ensuring operational reliability.

KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Plan and implement reliability engineering strategy, including implementation practices and processes.
• Establish reliability requirements and reliability program growth strategy, as needed, for on-orbit component failures throughout the life of the station.
• Conduct detailed system, assembly, and component level Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) along with criticality analysis.
• Develop and apply data analysis techniques for mechanical and electrical and/or electro-mechanical designs, including statistical process control, reliability modeling and prediction.
• Generate reliability predictions, such as Mean Time between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), for new product designs through analysis or accelerated aging tests and to inform maintenance and logistics in sparing posture.
• Experience in performing Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) and Functional Block Diagrams (FBD). Preferred experience in the use of software tools, such as SAPHIRE, and PTC Windchill Quality Solutions (formerly Relex).
• Experience and/or knowledge in the performance of spacecraft probability strategic assessments.
• Collaborate with engineering system and subsystem teams to implement integrated reliability analyses.
• Provide technical support at design reviews and test activities as required.
• Collaborate with technical engineers to identify critical items of the system for implementing a strategy for verification and ensuring a safe and reliable system.
• Collaborate with all engineering system and subsystem teams to implement integrated reliability analyses.
• Prepare technical documentation and presentations for peers, management, and external customers and partners.
• Communicating analysis progress, status, and potential issues to stakeholders and management.
• Perform additional job duties as assigned.
