Role OverviewThe System Reliability Engineer Program Manager owns the end-to-end reliability program for complex autonomous defense platforms. This role sits at the intersection of Systems, Design, Avionics, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Test, Quality, and field operations. The work is hands-on and requires close engagement with vehicle architectures, hardware, test evidence, manufacturing records, and field data.
What You Will Do
Key responsibilities include owning the system reliability program, defining system reliability objectives, maintaining reliability block diagrams, and leading system-level failure investigations. The role also involves establishing and maintaining failure-reporting workflows, communicating reliability risk, and providing technical direction to commodity SIEs.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience applying reliability block diagrams, FMEA or FMECA, fault-tree analysis, root-cause analysis, or comparable system-reliability methods. The ability to lead cross-functional technical work, make risk-based decisions, and explain reliability tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences is also essential.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master's degree in systems engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, reliability engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
- Ten or more years of experience in system reliability, hardware reliability, failure analysis, test engineering, or complex electromechanical systems engineering.
- Demonstrated experience applying reliability block diagrams, FMEA or FMECA, fault-tree analysis, root-cause analysis, or comparable system-reliability methods.
- Experience allocating system reliability requirements to components and sub-assemblies and integrating their evidence into platform-level decisions.
- Experience defining targeted tests and mitigations from incomplete reliability data, failure hypotheses, or field evidence.
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Retirement plans
- Opportunities for professional development
