The Reliability, Maintainability and System Safety (RMS) Engineer is responsible for employing both theoretical and practical tools to ensure the reliability, safety, and capability of aircraft components, subsystems, and systems. The RMS Engineers primary task is to identify potential reliability, safety, and maintainability issues early in the aircraft’s lifecycle and support ongoing improvements to enhance overall aircraft performance.
Duties & Responsibilities
- Support the demonstration of compliance with aircraft standards and safety requirements via review and/or preparation of System Safety Analysis certification reports.
- Complete detailed reliability design development and assessments including Functional Hazard Assessments, Particular Risk Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis, Common Cause Analysis.
- Support the development of instructions for Continued Airworthiness and Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).
- Support the safety assessment process of in-service aircraft by preparing qualitative and quantitative analysis of service experience using methods including Weibull Analysis, Monte Carlo Simulation, and Sensitivity Analysis.
- Be responsible for the successful execution of R&M deliverables for new development project while supporting the needs of aircraft fleet in service and aircraft production.
- Participate in design reviews, customer meetings, technical and business-related workshops.
- Champion the performance and development of junior engineers, designers, project managers.
- Drive continuous improvement and demonstrate exemplary technical leadership
