  • Experience with reliability engineering for electrical components and circuit card assemblies.
  • Knowledge of systems engineering practices throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Experience in design, development, integration, or testing – preferably with aerospace hardware or sophisticated technical systems.
  • Experience performing system safety and reliability analyses, such as: Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA), Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs).
  • Experience with Weibull analysis and parameter estimation, stress-strength interference analyses, probability distribution estimation, reliability growth modeling, and probabilistic risk analysis.
  • Experience working with reliability analysis and reliability modeling on a software such as Minitab/Matlab/Saphire/ Reliasoft/ Ansys Sherlock.

Preferred Qualifications

  • PCBA manufacturing and/or avionics design experience.
  • Experience performing worst-case-analysis (WCA), sneak circuit analysis, Fault-detection, Fault-Isolation and Recovery (FDIR) assessments.
  • Proven technical expertise with liquid rocket engines and test facilities.
  • Experience integrating sophisticated subsystems into a spacecraft, launch vehicle, or test facility.
  • Experience implementing, customizing or improving system safety policy and procedure for a development engineering environment and transitioning products to operation and production.
  • Deep understanding of principles and practices for systems engineering.
  • Proven experience with reliability/life test design (failure modes discovery, life demonstration, and screening).
  • Experience with failure reporting and corrective action systems (FRACAS).
  • Experience using scripting languages such as VBA and Python to automate processes and analyses.
  • Experience with systems engineering tools such as DOORS, DNG, or similar.
  • Experience in reading/viewing mechanical drawings and CAD models in typical CAD softwares such as CreoView/NX.
