About the role

  • Work in a collaborative team environment to ensure the reliability of spacecraft systems and components.
  • Develop reliability and maintainability predictions using industry-standard methodologies (e.g., MIL-HDBK-217, empirical data) for electrical/electronic assemblies, systems, and support equipment.
  • Perform Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) at schematic/piece-part and interface levels.
  • Support design reviews by presenting reliability analyses and results to program management and NASA/customer stakeholders.
  • Review discrepancy reports, support failure review boards, and provide electronics piece-part reliability expertise (including drawing reviews and parts control).
  • Assist failure investigation teams, developing probabilistic assessments from root cause analyses of test anomalies/failures, and conducting system-level severity/likelihood evaluations.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design engineers, suppliers, quality, production, program management, and customers) to integrate reliability into Orion spacecraft development.
  • Create technical reports, presentations, and supporting documentation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or related technical field) or equivalent experience/combined education.
  • Familiarity with reliability engineering principles and practices.
  • Experience in aerospace or related high-reliability industries.
  • Willingness to work onsite full-time in Highlands Ranch, CO.
  • 2–12 years of relevant experience in reliability engineering, electrical engineering, or aerospace systems (early to mid-career level).
  • Knowledge of probability/statistics, mathematical modeling, and reliability prediction methods.
  • Hands-on experience with FMEA/FMECA processes, FRACAS, or parts engineering/MIL-PRF screening.
  • Background in aerospace/missile/spacecraft programs.
  • Familiarity with electrical circuit analysis, schematics, simulation tools, environmental/reliability testing, or systems engineering/integration.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
  • Excellent technical writing and verbal communication for reports, presentations, and customer interactions.
  • Ability to thrive in a team-based environment.
