Safety & Reliability Engineer

The Safety & Reliability Engineer supports the engineering team in understanding how the system will deteriorate as it progresses through life and ultimately fail, determining what the resulting failure effects might be.

Responsiblities

• Utilize understanding of how fuel cell systems, hydrogen systems and their associated subsystems fail and characterize those failures numerically, using probabilistic and deterministic mathematical methods;


• Develop and maintain safety and reliability models for the fuel cell system, hydrogen management system and associated subsystems;


• Facilitate R&M tasks (FMEA, FMECA FTA, etc) with component-responsible engineers and suppliers;


• Utilize reliability models and analysis as inputs to system life cycle cost models and system op-operation and maintenance planning strategies;


• Work closely with system engineers to develop and cascade reliability requirements from the aircraft level to the subsystem and component level;


• Work closely with component responsible engineers and suppliers/partners to analyze the reliability of designs and ensure reliability is considered from the onset in the initial design stage.
