The leading provider of human spaceflight services and developer of human-rated space infrastructure, Axiom Space operates end-to-end missions to the International Space Station today while developing its successor, Axiom Station – a permanent commercial destination in low-Earth orbit that will sustain human growth off the planet and bring untold benefits back home.
Axiom Space fosters a diverse environment inclusive of all perspectives. We are the pioneers of commercial space, leading the transformation of low-Earth orbit into a global space marketplace. Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamic Reliability Engineer who is fueled by problem-solving, continuously curious, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Plan and implement reliability engineering strategy, including implementation practices and processes.
- Establish reliability requirements and reliability program growth strategy for on-orbit component failures throughout the life of the station.
- Conduct detailed system, assembly, and component level Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) along with criticality analysis
- Develop and apply data analysis techniques for mechanical and electrical designs, including statistical process control, reliability modeling and prediction
- Generate reliability predictions, such as Mean Time between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), for new product designs through analysis or accelerated aging tests.
- Experience in performing Fault Tree Analysis, Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) and Functional Block Diagrams (FBD)
- Collaborate with all engineering system and subsystem teams to implement integrated reliability analyses.
- Support design reviews and test activities as required.
- Generate reliability predictions, such as Mean Time between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) to develop strategies for maintenance and logistics support.
- Collaborate with technical engineers to identify critical items of the system for implementing a strategy for verification and ensuring a safe and reliable system
- Collaborate with all engineering system and subsystem teams to implement integrated reliability analyses.
- Prepare technical documentation and presentations for peers, management, and external customers and partners.
- Perform other systems engineering tasks as necessary.
