Senior Specialist Reliability and Maintainability Engineers are responsible for leading the development of reliability artifacts to influence system design in order to increase mission capability and availability and decrease logistics burden and cost over a system’s life cycle. The engineer will establish reliability predictions for hardware systems, develop allocations and present analysis results to management for periodic review and customer status to ensure the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. These types of analyses are to be performed at all levels of total system product to include concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation and field maintenance. Responsibilities additionally include technical management of reliability and maintainability and providing direction, guidance and mentoring to junior engineers.
