• Participate on design teams, provide guidance and recommendations to designers and management to ensure reliability and maintainability objectives are achieved.

Onboard Health Management:

• Develop Testability models from schematics, FMECAs, ICDS and other available supplier documentation to assess compliance to customer fault detection/isolation requirements.
• Run scripts to translate these models into a form that is executable logic on the aircraft, and simulates the intended operation.
• Work with the real-time software development team to integrate the resulting executable applications into the Mission Computing hardware.
• Establish and translate requirements into hardware and software for health management functionality.
• Assess the effectiveness of system health technologies.

Human Factors Engineering:

• Requirements development; design documentation including software interface design/analyses and collaboration to facilitate equipment selection, design and arrangement.
• Collaborate across Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and coordinate with the customer and user communities.

• Prior Military experience
• Experience conducting Usability Studies, Workload Studies and Situation Awareness Studies
• Experience utilizing research methods and empirical statistics in a limited subject availability environment
• Experience in conducting goal-directed, hierarchical, and critical tasks analysis
• Experience conducting traditional and multivariate anthropometric studies and measurement
• Experience with Microsoft Excel, MATLAB/Simulink, Boeing RAMC, and Vanderbilt FACT run time reasoning tools
• Experience with MIL-HDBK-217F Reliability Prediction Electronic Equipment
• Experience with Rome Air Development Center AD-A153 744 Reliability Derating Procedure
• Experience with MIL-STD-1629 Rev A Procedure for performing a Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis

Typical Education/Experience:

Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD, Master + 3 years' related work experience). In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
