Job Description
Reliability Engineer Position Onsite
Location: Irvine CA USA
Roles & Responsibilities
The Reliability Engineer will be responsible for measuring the performance related to reliability availability and safety of mechanical electrical and electromechanical aerospace components. Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Data Gathering & Historical Analysis
- Collect and review relevant documentation: customer paperwork service and maintenance/repair logs shop findings field returns data test reports.
- Analyze historical failure data removal/failure causes unscheduled removal incidents and determine trends.
- Establish baseline reliability metrics for components and systems benchmark performance against contractual or regulatory requirements.
- Reliability & Failure Mode Analysis
- Lead and perform reliability assessments including MTBF MTBUR Weibull analysis failure rate modeling etc.
- Conduct Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Mode Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for new designs modifications and existing product lines.
- Perform root cause investigations of component & subsystem failures; identify failure modes causes severity occurrence detection and drive corrective/preventive actions.
- Monitoring & Reporting
- Monitor component and part performance on a monthly basis for business jet and commercial aircraft platforms.
- Prepare regular (monthly quarterly) reports and dashboards for internal and external stakeholders summarizing performance trends failure rates unscheduled removals etc.
- Prepare both standardized and customized reports for both internal and external stakeholders based on requests
- Deliver ad hoc reports / investigations as required by engineering business or contractual needs.
- Standards Procedures & Compliance
- Ensure 100% quality in analyzing the events align with aerospace industry standards (e.g. SAE MIL-STD AS9100 etc.) contractual deliverables regulatory requirements.
- Maintain documentation and ensure compliance in reporting formats.
- Participate in risk assessments including functional hazard analysis (FHA) fault tree analysis (FTA) or similar where required.
Job Description / Qualifications
Education & Certification:
- Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or equivalent. Masters degree a plus.
- Certifications Reliability Maintainability modules.
Experience:
- Typically 5-8 years of relevant experience in reliability engineering / maintainability / failure analysis especially in aerospace or defense domain.
- Experience with mechanical electrical and electromechanical components (actuators flight control engine components fuel systems etc.).
- Prior exposure to both commercial and military aerospace product lifecycle (design qualification in-service operation field failures).
Technical Skills:
- Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with reliability tools and techniques: MTBF MTBUR Weibull analysis reliability prediction models reliability growth unscheduled removals.
- Proficient in FMEA / FMECA root cause analysis fault tree analysis etc.
- Ability to work with field data shop findings maintenance logs failure records; statistical / probabilistic analysis; data visualization.
- Familiarity with aerospace standards tolerances qualification tests safety & reliability contractual requirements.
Soft Skills:
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to dig deep into data hardware / failure modes environment etc.
- Strong communication: able to write technical reports present findings to engineering / business / customer stakeholders.
- Good organizational skills; ability to manage multiple analyses reports investigations under schedule constraints.
- Collaborative mindset; ability to work cross-functionally (engineering quality maintenance supply chain).
Additional Requirements:
- Proficiency in relevant software/tools (reliability modelling software statistical tools MS Excel possibly specialized software like Reliasoft Weibull or other).
- Ability to travel if needed (e.g. to shops field sites) if applicable.
- Awareness of aerospace safety environmental and operational conditions that affect component reliability (temperature vibration humidity loads etc.).
