About the role
- You will own the development and execution of reliability strategies that enable our spacecraft to meet ambitious vehicle and constellation-level targets for probability of success and availability.
- You will define reliability requirements, build and apply advanced semi-empirical modeling techniques, and drive testing programs that identify and mitigate risks early in development.
- This role sits at the intersection of design, test, systems, and manufacturing, where you will integrate reliability models with program risk management and flow down clear, actionable requirements across subsystems.
Responsibilities
- Own the development and maintenance of top-level reliability requirements, models, and allocations to meet vehicle and constellation-level targets for probability of success and availability
- Define and drive HALT/HASS strategies, accelerated testing plans, and reliability growth programs across spacecraft development and production
- Integrate reliability analyses with program risk management and drive actionable insights that influence design, manufacturing, and test decisions
- Lead root cause investigations on critical hardware failures and drive systemic corrective actions that improve product robustness and mission reliability
- Collaborate closely with design, systems, test, and manufacturing teams to embed reliability principles early in the development process and optimize for mass production
- Experience developing and executing life testing methods, including accelerated life testing (ALT) and reliability growth programs
Requirements
- B.S. degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, or other related discipline
- 5+ years of experience in reliability engineering, hardware testing, failure analysis, or related fields in the space, automotive, semiconductor, or other high-reliability industries
Nice to have
- M.S. or PhD in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, or other related discipline
- Experience with thermal, vibration, and TVAC qualification and acceptance testing approaches
- Experience with EEE components (Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical), including semiconductor devices and packaging technologies, in high-reliability or space applications
