  • Implement accelerated tests to mitigate risks and qualify designs using a Physics-of-Failure based approach.
  • Apply Design of Experiments (DOE) methods to develop test plans to ensure product robustness and performance.
  • Lead reliability test planning, methodology, and execution.
  • Drive analysis processes for all failures discovered during reliability testing.
  • Makes Reliability assessments of component/subsystem designs and influence manufacture/technology selections to ensure mission life reliability targets achieved.
Requirements:
  • Master's degree in Reliability Engineering or related field.
  • At least 2 years of experience in design for high-reliability space systems.
  • Experience in reliability modelling methods to predict product life and statistical techniques to analyze test data.
Preferred Skills and Qualifications:
  • Excellent understanding of accelerated testing methods, governing equations, and physics of failure for different failure mechanisms.
  • Experience facilitating FMEAs and leading cross-functional teams in reliability analysis, prediction, and correlation.
  • Working knowledge of coding language, preferable Python.
  • Adept in developing and analyzing reliability statistics, including Weibull Analysis.
  • Accomplished with PCB Design Analysis capability (Sherlock or alternative).
  • Highly capable in probabilistic modeling techniques, including Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Reliability Block Diagram analysis (RBD), Determination of MTFF, Single Event Upset/Multiple Bit Upset (SEU/MBU) analysis, and Monte Carlo simulations for material, process, manufacturing, environment, usage variations.
  • Experienced with life testing methods (HALT/HASS, ESS, ALT, RGT).
  • Areas of specialty interest for 'Design for Reliability' include Avionics electronics, Interconnects, RF systems, Mechanisms, Space Tribology, Power Systems (Batteries, Solar Arrays), and Thermal Management.
About the Opportunity:

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about achieving high reliability space systems. As a Reliability Specialist, you will be responsible for translating subsystem/component reliability requirements into performance metrics, developing reliability prediction models, and implementing accelerated tests to mitigate risks and qualify designs.

What You'll Get:
  • An estimated annual salary of $110,000 - $140,000 depending on experience.
  • The opportunity to work on exciting projects that push the boundaries of space exploration.
  • A dynamic and collaborative work environment that fosters growth and development.
