Specialist - RMS Engineer

Description

Develop a comprehensive system reliability and safety program plan, interfacing with Program Management to align key dates, resources, and milestones. Track and report progress to deliverables, and provide recommendations for program gate decisions. Quantify reliability and safety requirements based on customer wants/needs and competitive benchmarking, then allocate those requirements to subsystem and component teams while applying reliability estimation methods such as Reliability Block Diagrams, Fault Trees, and MIL‑217.

Lead complex reliability and safety analyses, understand basic aerospace safety standards (DO‑178C, DO‑254A) and certification practices (ARP4754, ARP4761), and guide the development of Critical to Quality measures. Conduct a comprehensive risk management process—including DFMEA, robustness models (P‑diagram), and a program risk log—to promote early risk identification and resolution. Define and execute system and component validation plans (DVP&R), manage reliability growth using analysis tools, support FRACAS, present reliability status to external customers, mentor engineers in DFSS and reliability disciplines, and ensure effective use of product‑assurance tools while leveraging global capabilities.
