The Reliability, Maintainability and Safety Engineer analyzes, researches, designs, and tests component parts, processes, or systems to develop new and/or improve core products. Designs products or systems of diverse/difficult scope and complexity using engineering principles based on assigned engineering domain (e.g., mechanical; electrical; chemical, etc.). Develops and recommends solutions to a variety of complex engineering requirements to ensure that design objectives are met, including required program scope, cost and schedule constraints. Projects at this level are assigned to develop in-depth knowledge and skills and to build knowledge of the organization, processes, and customers.

• Develops complex conceptual and detailed design specifications by analyzing product performance and customer requirements. Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, interchangeability, non‐recurring and recurring cost, operational efficiency, and contractual requirements. Performs diverse and complex product development, modification, and evaluation of components, subsystems, and systems by applying engineering principles and developing new or unique analysis tools as required.

• Applies scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcome and consequence of design alternatives. Interprets and validates test results for accuracy and precision. Oversees and monitors product acceptance procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards (e.g., failure analysis). Utilizes and interprets predictive models to simulate and verify design concepts.

• Completes technical project elements (e.g. preparation of product or system layout; defining system architecture; creating software development plans, etc.) as assigned. Develops critical data and analysis necessary to present technical product and/or system proposals to customers.

• Contributes to the completion milestones associated with specific projects (e.g. create functional diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces and programming logic; analyze material requirements; research customer data item requirements). Maintain efforts within defined cost and schedule constraints, including statusing and root cause/corrective actions of associated variances. May act as Control Account Manager for projects applying Earned Value Management.

• Reviews product specifications and/or modifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures. Troubleshoots design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team.

• Provides technical information for review with product engineering teams applying consistent engineering practices, standards, and documentation methods (e.g. structured design process; customer design reviews). Writes supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports.

• Conducts complex analysis and devises tests to validate performance in the development of new products, methods, materials or processes. Completes required documentation, generates detailed reports, creates customer proposals and presentations and/or change proposals. Determines required actions, performs or directs completion of tasks, and publishes findings and/or results.

• Compiles and analyzes operation, test, and research data, develop acceptance, engineering evaluation, development and qualification/certification test plans, procedures, and reports.

• May communicate with customers to identify new business opportunities, present Parker product capabilities, and clarify customers’ technical requirements. May write technical proposals for customers by reviewing and interpreting specifications and requirements.

• Mentors or serves as a resource to share specialized knowledge with others. Establishes goals and objectives and tracks performance required to complete projects.

• Updates professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reviewing technical publications, and/or participating in professional associations.

• Conduct investigations to assess and optimize designs for system safety compliance

• Provide actuation subsystem safety assessment for CFR Part 25 program certification

• Develop reliability and safety design requirements for actuation subsystems

• Provide fault tree analysis and common cause analysis as required for subsystem safety assessment

• Prepare reliability predictions, FMEAs, and safety analysis documents that provide detailed and comprehensive assessments of new subsystem designs

• Provide maintainability assessment and MTTR (Mean time to repair) predictions

• Bachelor degree (or Professional Engineer (PE) certificate) in engineering or a science technical discipline. Master degree preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to perform the essential functions of the job typically acquired through 7+ years of related experience.

• Has thorough in-depth knowledge of engineering domain principles, concepts, product standards, and techniques, industry practices, regulations, and policies. Ability to apply broad knowledge of other related engineering areas to area of expertise.

• Demonstrated ability to investigate and implement new technologies.

• Proficient with engineering design and analysis tools (e.g. computer-aided design or modeling systems); ability to use standard software packages. May require capability using specialized software applications or languages.

• Ability to establish individual objectives to complete projects and provide status to the team at project milestones. Ability to effectively influence the overall team and functional objectives.

• Ability to effectively communicate and present status, actions, recommendations, and other technical information with clarity and precision. Ability to respond to significant inquiries from customers, regulatory agencies, or marketing/sales teams.

• Proficient with standard project management tools and practices

• Ability to apply Earned Value Management (EVM) principles to manage scope, schedule and cost objectives.
