Engineer, Sr

Specific Accountabilities:

- Performs engineering analysis related to engine reliability and life cycle management including reviewing and analyzing data related to various jet engine and component failure modes, conducting or assisting with root cause analyses, and performing reliability calculations.
- Designs, implements, and maintains engine failure data collection and analysis tools.
- Creates and maintains a Failure Analysis database to maintain a history of failure modes and components. Gathers reliability data from field studies or database, correlates failure data with maintenance practices or operational use, and periodically reviews and analyzes data using standard engineering techniques / principles / procedures to identify and analyze trends.
- Develops large and small-scale system models to simulate and predict engine reliability and to anticipate failure occurrences using advanced reliability modeling tools.
- Constructs cost models associated with various reliability improvement strategies.
- Serves as liaison with senior management and engineering staff on reliability issues, including identifying failure mode trends and methods to minimize risks associated with them.
- Serves as the prime contact with assigned customers for the interchange of strategic reliability data.
- As required, provides engineering support to service engineers and other personnel collecting reliability and failure data, and in the determination of failure modes.
- Participates in projects as a team member and/or team project leader.
- Coordinates activities with the Manager of Reliability Engineering and other reliability engineers.
- Manages approved project timelines. Produces periodic project status reports comparing actual to forecasted timeline.
- Writes detailed technical reports to document information related to the understanding of relevant failure modes and the results of reliability analyses, prepares proposals & develops work instructions.
- Prepares and delivers presentations of analysis results to appropriate staff and customers.
