Responsibilities

New product introduction (NPI)
Own the reliability campaign for each NPI program: plan and execute HALT to find design margins before qualification, then define the HASS and ESS profiles that screen production units, with gates tied to the program's design reviews.
Build the reliability evidence for design reviews (PDR, CDR, MRR/PRR): reliability allocations and block diagrams, DFMEA/FMECA, FTA, reliability test plans, and closure of reliability-related review actions.
Performing Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA) and Fault Detection/Fault Isolation (FDFI) analyses and collaborating cross-functionally to implement product improvements for reliability.
Performing predictive reliability analyses to forecast probability of field failures and MTTF/MTBF utilizing Anduril requirements, specifications and relevant industry standards (i.e. MIL-HDBK-217Plus).
Partner with Quality, Manufacturing, and contract manufacturers on electronics and PCBA reliability, including derating, parts selection, and screening of new suppliers.
Fielded and production products
Own the MTBF methodology for fielded products end to end: what counts as a relevant failure, how operating hours are calculated from fielded-unit records, and a single reported number that internal teams and customers agree on.
Run a FRACAS that ties every field failure to a nonconformance or quality ticket and to failure analysis results, including a path for hardware that is replaced in the field and never returns, so failure data stays traceable by serial number.
Developing Maintainability prediction models using MIL-HDBK-472 and support the development of Preventative Maintenance and Sparing Plans, including data-driven sparing ratios for deployed systems.
Developing and communicating RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) reports internally and to external parties.
Reviewing field failure data and performing Weibull analyses utilizing that data to determine gap to initial model in order to further fine tune and adjust it for further predictions.

Qualification

Design Review Experience (PDRExperience with DO-254Demonstrated experience with radar$123

Required

5+ years experience in a hardware-focused Reliability Engineer role, Design/Development Engineer role or Quality Engineering role, with a strong emphasis on life data analysis.
Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Materials Science, or a related technical field.

Expertise in reliability analysis techniques, including FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis.
Hands-on experience planning and running HALT, HASS, and/or ESS on electronic hardware, and turning the results into design changes and production screens.
Experience owning reliability for products already in the field: MTBF tracking, FRACAS, and scrubbing field failure data so the numbers hold up with customers.
Familiarity with structured root-cause analysis and problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams, Kepner-Tregoe) within a CAPA or FRACAS framework.
Eligibility to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance.
