Senior RMA Systems Engineer

Position Summary

As a Reliability Systems Engineer you would provide vital mission assurance support for Maritime underseas programs in engineering development as well as Operations and Maintenance (O&M) phases, under the direction of the Lead RMA Systems Engineer and the Program Manager.

The RMA Systems Engineer will be required to interact with other OTECH personnel and the client to guide engineering efforts to meet the client’s RMA requirements.

The RMA (Reliability, Maintainability, Availability) Systems Engineer will provide guidance to engineering design efforts through the development of RMA modelling, block diagrams and statistical methods, and guide the supply support activities with RCCA (Root Cause Corrective Actions) analysis.

Duties & Responsibilities

ESSENTIAL

• Assist the Lead RMA Systems Engineer to identify Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) shortfalls in system level analysis / design and subsystem level predictions as applicable.
• Perform reliability and maintainability predictions and allocations for equipment’s and systems using RMA software-based tools under the guidance of the Lead RMA systems engineer.
• Assist in preparing system, element, and equipment R&M specifications from top-level requirements.
• Interpret statistical data derived from failure reporting programs and reliability demonstrations.
• Complete predictions and be able to discuss R&M areas of improvements with design engineers.
• Work closely with the Lead RMA Systems engineer and other engineering disciplines to verify reliability and availability requirements for systems though analyses such as, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and limited life item analysis for system, sub-system, functional (electrical / mechanical), component and device level.
• Demonstrates ability to devise innovative solutions to problems.
• Prepares reports and presents results to management and client.
• Work with the Lead RMA systems Engineering to provide quantitative reliability inputs to trade studies based on reliability theory, including the impacts of the selected technology, applied stresses, quality, redundancy, temperature, wear-out, and environmental impacts.
• Some travel may be required.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS AS DIRECTED

• Generates user requirements, concept of operations documents, and assists in development of high-level system architectures to develop system requirements specifications.
• Prepares concept of operations, interface control documents, hazard analysis, and test plans and procedures.
• Displays excellent technical judgment, attention to detail, and ability to look at the big picture in system design at the same time as having focus on RMA data products.

Qualifications

REQUIRED :

• BS degree in Statistics / Mathematics, Reliability, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, Systems Engineering.
• Minimum 2 years of practical experience in an engineering environment.
• Experience with

o Contributing to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation, including system engineering plans, requirements specifications, and interface control documents.

o Developing system requirements and derived requirements. assisting with the development of system requirements, functional requirements, and allocation of the same to individual hardware, software, facility, and personnel components.

• Candidate will have to perform in an ISO-9000 rated company in a rapidly changing and demanding atmosphere.
• US citizenship required. Must be able to obtain a Top-Secret security clearance.

DESIRED

• Master’s degree in related field.
• Certification desired : CRE, CRL or equivalent.
