Reliability Engineer

Overview

Ensure aircraft system safety, reliability, and maintainability via RCM and predictive maintenance.

Key Responsibilities

• reliability testing
• rcm development
• data analysis
• database maintenance
• report preparation
• failure analysis

Tasks

-Collaborate with engineering, maintenance, and manufacturing teams to improve equipment reliability and lifecycle performance. -Lead reliability improvement initiatives to reduce unplanned downtime and increase mission readiness. -This is an opportunity to contribute to mission-critical aviation programs, working alongside a team of experts dedicated to improving system performance and reliability.
