Job description

1. Occupational Summary (Position Objective & Authorities)

Objective:
The reliability engineer 3 establishes reliability, maintainability, availability predictions and forecasts mean time to failure in order to improve design functionality and reduce downtime or failures. The reliability engineer also performs reliability calculation, oversees testing and utilizes fundamental failure analysis methodologies to derive root cause of repetitive/cyclic failures. Works under general supervision..

2. Essential Functions (Duties and Responsibilities)

A) Check maturity test plans and test reports for technical accuracy
B) Oversee Accelerated Stress Testing (AST).
C) Assess completed test results for acceptability
D) Anticipate reliability related risks for Risk Assessment.
E) Performs MTBF, MTBUR and FMEA calculations
F) Define test methods on new and nouvel design based on expected failure modes
G) Define lifecycle acceptance criteria for seat components and mechanisms.
H) Assessment of existing reliability test methodologies, procedures and specifications.
I) DoE to develop test plan methods and set ups to ensure product robustness and performance.
J) Replicate product malfunctions under control conditions for failure diagnosis.
K) Oversee Accelerated Stress Testing (AST).
L) Build reliability prediction models to evaluate product functionality.
M) Perform statistics and probability analysis for Reliability, Maintainability and Availability (RMA).
N) Anticipate reliability related risks for Risk Assessment.
O) Contribute to developing engineering solutions to failures observed during the life cycle of seats and seats components.
P) Work in conjunction with other engineering and management groups (e.g. Design Engineering, Certification Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Fabrication, Operations, and Field representatives).
Q) Provide feedback to new product development and design engineering.
R) Performs other duties as assigned.
