Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) is responsible for ensuring our products are Safe, Reliable, Maintainable and delivered on time. Life Cycle Engineering consists of multiple disciplines that support engineering, our program offices and our customers. Our Life Cycle Engineering disciplines participate in the total life cycle of our products from conception to deactivation. Our focus area is product support, including the following disciplines: Reliability, System Safety, and Supportability.

As a Senior Reliability Engineer you will be responsible for executing the Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) program activities such as:

1. Conducting RAM analyses, including reliability predictions and maintainability predictions
2. Performing Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA) and Fault Detection/Fault Isolation (FDFI) analyses
3. Generating Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs)/system models
4. Defining/allocating RAM requirements
5. Reviewing field failure data and assessing performance using calculations such as Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Mean Time Between Critical Failure (MTBCF), & Operational Availability (Ao)
6. Interpreting data and analyzing results
7. Ensuring performance compliance to requirements
8. Assisting in maintaining FMECAs and RBDs
9. Providing RAM inputs and support to program meetings such as Failure Review Boards (FRBs) and Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs)
10. Working cross-functionally with Sustainment, Site, and other Life Cycle Engineering teams
11. Supporting the proposal process in developing Basis of Estimates (BOEs) for RAM work
12. Tracking Earned Value (EV) and providing accurate status on the schedule and budget for the RAM scope
