Responsibilities for this Position:
Imagine a world-class engineering environment. Now add a team of exceptional talent along with technologies that are so advanced they’re often classified. That’s what you’ll find at General Dynamics Mission Systems. Here you’ll lead amazing engineers as they invent the technologies, products and services that help our service members, intelligence analysts and first responders keep our nation safe. If you want the chance to lead, it’s time to bring your talent to General Dynamics Mission Systems.
We apply advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, AR/VR, Cloud Native and Quantum Physics to solve our customers’ missions in cyber, RF, undersea, interstellar and everything in between.
Utilizing your arsenal of skills and talents, the Advanced Reliability Engineer will review engineering specifications and drawings, proposing design modifications to improve reliability within cost and other performance requirements. You’ll also advise and confer with engineers in design review meetings to give reliability and maintainability findings and recommendations. We’ll rely on you to analyze engineering-design concepts of product to recommend design or test methods for attaining customer-specified operational reliability, using knowledge of reliability engineering and other technologies.

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE:

• Technologies that aren’t just top-notch, they’re often top-secret
• A team of bold thinkers committed to exploring what’s next
• Opportunities to gain new knowledge - as it’s discovered

• Reliability Analysis: Perform detailed reliability analyses, including Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to identify potential failure modes and their impacts.
• Data Analysis: Analyze field data, test data, and other reliability data to identify trends, root causes of failures, and areas for improvement.
• Design for Reliability (DfR): Collaborate with design engineering teams to incorporate reliability principles into product design and development processes, ensuring that reliability is a key consideration from the outset.
• Predictive Maintenance: Implement predictive maintenance strategies and tools to monitor the health of systems and components, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.
• Documentation: Prepare comprehensive reliability reports, documentation, and presentations to communicate findings, recommendations, and progress to stakeholders.
• Continuous Improvement: Lead and support continuous improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing product reliability, reducing warranty costs, and improving customer satisfaction.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including systems, manufacturing, quality assurance, and our customers, to ensure reliability goals are met throughout the product lifecycle.
• Compliance and Standards: Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and best practices related to reliability engineering.
