Job Title: System Safety & Reliability Engineer

Working Pattern: Fulltime

Working location: Indianapolis, IN

As a System Safety & Reliability Engineer, you’ll be part of a team that ensures the safety and reliability attributes of our products are understood and risks are managed to an acceptable level. This role involves the integration of diverse areas of knowledge to create and support complex systems that enable reliable system operation under highly challenging conditions.

Tasks include mathematical modeling of complex systems, probabilistic safety assessments, and hazard assessments; extracting actionable insights to improve our products.  We apply multi-domain engineering knowledge for components and systems, detailing failure mechanisms and their system effects.

What you will be doing

With this attractive opportunity you will get a chance to:

• Understanding the product's degradation and failure mechanisms, associated consequences, with the aim to eliminate or reduce product hazards.  Develop models that characterize these mechanisms using deterministic or probabilistic/data mining techniques.
• Assess new and derivative design solutions, product operation and maintenance practices to evaluate the impact on product safety and reliability.  Develop and deploy models at component, system, asset, and fleet levels to characterize product safety and reliability. Support the associated part/function classification activities.
• Support product development and new product introduction phases through Safety & Reliability Engineering analysis and documentation (e.g. FHA, FMECA, System Safety Assessment, etc.).
• Support the FRACAS and Reliability Initiatives in development and in-service phases.
