The Senior Reliability Engineer is responsible for interacting with the Program Management; Engineering; and government approval authorities from program startup operations, through Production and demilitarization and disposal activities. The Senior Reliability Engineer regularly interfaces with lead engineers, Operations, and Program Management across all Raytheon products to support the system reliability program. The Senior Reliability Engineer requires a high degree of self-motivation and ability to effectively interface with co-workers across all product lines, Engineering, Operations and Supply Chain Management.
Key Responsibilities:

• Perform System Reliability engineering tasks and analyses, applying technical knowledge to meet Raytheon and customer requirements
• Exercise considerable latitude in technical decisions to meet customer requirements relevant to the System Reliability program
• Prepare internal and customer reports describing various analyses relevant to the System Reliability program
• Submit supporting data to the proper approval authorities and archive the documents and supporting data within an internal document management system
• Represent System Reliability Engineering as a member of the program, responsible for identifying key issues and addressing them to achieve optimal technical solutions
• Take an analytical approach and utilize technical knowledge to solve challenges with optimal solutions
• Interface with and function across multiple disciplines to gain a full understanding of the product architecture and design

Required Skills:

• A minimum of four (4) years of professional engineering experience (not including internships) in reliability engineering (reliability experience in electrical, electronic, and/or electromechanical product design and development)
• Reliability Modeling, Allocations, and Predictions, Parts Stress and Derating Analysis, Failure Reporting and Corrective Action Systems (FRACAS), Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Failure Diagnosis and Data/Trend Analysis, Reliability Demonstration Testing / Reliability Growth Testing, and Electronic Parts Circuit Tolerance Analysis (EPCTA) / Worst Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA)
• Experience planning and conducting Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS), Environmental Stress Screening (ESS), and Reliability Demonstration / Growth Testing (RDGT)Have experience with statistical analysis techniques
• Be capable of executing/applying root cause analysis at a system level
• Project management skills - Ensure establishment of an executable project plan, schedule, budget, resource requirements and performance standards
• Proficiency in MS Office suite products to include: Word, Excel, PowerPoint

Desired Skills:

• Be familiar with and able to apply reliability engineering techniques and processes, such as:
  • Reliability tools: e.g. Relex / Windchill, ASENT, Reliasoft, etc.
