Radiance Technologies, a 100% employee-owned company, is seeking candidates for a Senior Reliability and Maintainability (RandM) Engineer to support a U.S. Space Force program. This position requires a talented and experienced RandM Engineer lead and contribute to RandM activities throughout the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process, including analysis/feasibility, planning/requirements, design, system development, testing, deployment, maintenance, evaluation, and disposition/disposal. The RandM Engineer will work closely with multidisciplined engineers across the project team to design, establish, and implement a robust RandM program to ensure the integrated space payload performs as required across the system lifecycle to satisfy mission objectives including safety, reliability, maintainability, and quality assurance requirements. Responsibilities: Lead and conduct RandM analysis and testing, make necessary design and operational choices to limit the likelihood of faults and failures, and provide mitigation and restoration capabilities as needed to maintain an acceptable level of functionality considering safety, performance, and reliability objectives. Design, establish, implement, and manage a comprehensive RandM program to ensure the space payload: o Conforms to the design intent (interfaces and functions) and performs as planned under nominal and failed conditions. o Remains functional for the intended lifetime, environment, operating conditions, and usage. o Tolerates faults, failures, and other anomalous internal and external events. o Maintains acceptable reliability and maintainability levels to satisfy the availability requirement. Embrace and adapt RandM program to the proposed space payload survivability approach: intelligently integrate radiation-tolerant commercial components with redundancy and regenerative software. Develop RandM design criteria, requirements, and verification approach. Ensure design criteria, requirements, and verification approach are adhered to throughout the SDLC process. Provide hardware design critical peer review and approval during design reviews. Identify and manage an independent space qualification organization. Provide acceptance and qualification critical test campaign critical peer review. Drive improvements through tight engineering team integration. Review space payload changes to ensure the space payload maintains qualification. Develop specialized design and analysis tools for the engineering team. Perform other duties as assigned. Required Skills: Bachelors degree in engineering (mechanical, aerospace, or systems engineering preferred). Proven ability to design, establish, and implement a robust RandM program. Extensive knowledge and familiarity with traditional and emerging space survivability concepts and the ability to adapt the RandM program as necessary. Demonstrated proficiency in technical writing through previous experience. Experience supporting systems engineering technical reviews to include Design Concept Review (DCR), System Functional Review (SFR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Final Design Review (FDR), Test Readiness Review (TRR), and Production Readiness Review (PRR). Experience with hardware, software, and documentation configuration management. Self-starter with excellent oral and written communication skills. U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain a security clearance. Required Experience: Minimum 12 years experience performing and leading RandM activities across the SDLC process. Experience with Government or commercial spaceflight projects. Experience with aerospace system lifecycle design for launch, mission operations, and end-of-mission disposal. Experience with prediction modeling techniques and tools. Experience scripting to perform data analysis and reduction using Visual Basic, Matlab, Python, Excel, or similar platform. Experience with material selection and component make vs. buy decisions. Experience with space systems material handling requirements. Experience with various industry standard manufacturing tools, techniques and processes, including mills, lathes, electronics assembly, composite layup, etc. Experience with space qualification requirements and processes for space systems. Experience with structures, thermal, and vacuum design and testing. Experience performing detailed design activities, including iterative systems engineering; Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MSandA); mission thread development and analysis; Software-in-the-Loop (SWIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) simulations; trade studies; hardware/software design; and prototyping, necessary for the SDLC process. Experience with projects using Agile methodologies, Digital Engineering (DE), and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Desired Qualifications: Masters degree in engineering (mechanical, aerospace, or systems engineering preferred). 20+ years experience performing and leading RandM activities across the SDLC process. Experience developing and maintaining programs schedules in Microsoft Project. Certified Lean Six Sigma Belt (ICGB) or higher. Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). Certified Project Management Professional (PMP). Active SECRET clearance.
