Reliability Engineer

Description:

RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety) analyses are key operational characteristics for Airbus Defence and Space products as they directly impact the mission objectives and business cases of our customers. RAMS ensures proper support to concept solutions during development and in-service phases.

As a RAMS Engineer, you will be responsible for analysing candidate designs of all the space products developed in Portsmouth such as the spacecraft and equipment's for UK national programs and ESA, NASA spacecraft launched to explore mars or analyse the earth surface or its atmosphere. You will also be involved in a wide range of product development such as propulsion subsystems, digital processors etc.

How Will You Contribute To The Team…

As a member of a transnational RAMS Department, you will interface with your colleagues in UK, France and Germany as part of a single team whose aim is pursue excellence in our activities which consists of:
 

• Assessing/understanding of customer requirements
• Performing all required Project RAM analyses (e.g. FMEA/FMECA, Statistical Reliability/Availability Analysis etc.)
• Performing all required Project Safety activities such as safety analysis, production of safety submission documents
• Performing trade-offs and redundancy optimization studies.
• Working in close collaboration with design engineers (e.g. HW, SW and Operations), technical architects, external customers and suppliers to achieve mission objectives.
   

About You...
 

• Strong experience of RAMS engineering process methods and tools which includes but not limited to FMEA/FMECA, Fault tree, Zonal analysis, statistical reliability prediction
• System and equipment engineering related technical disciplines (Electronics, Electrical, Thermal, Mechanical, Operations and Software), with a specific focus on electronics and system engineering.
• Statistics and Reliability Mathematics, with a good level of understanding of Excel with VBA macro development.
• Solid knowledge on reliability software packages (e.g. Relex, Isograph and Reliasoft)
• Knowledge of relevant standards such as ECSS (dependability and safety standards), FIDES, MIL-HDBK and DEFSTAN standards.
