Perform reliability, maintainability and safety analyses at both component and system levels
Produce reliability predictions, maintainability assessments and detailed FMECA reports
Support risk management processes, including DFMEA, robustness modelling and programme risk tracking
Interpret engineering requirements and recommend design improvements based on analytical insights
Contribute to system safety assessments aligned to recognised aerospace standards
Drive continuous improvement through structured problem-solving and FRACAS activities
This is a hands-on role where your expertise directly influences design decisions and product safety.
What You'll Bring
Engineering degree or equivalent
Minimum 2 years' experience in a technical engineering environment
Experience working with new electrical/electronic product development
Familiarity with FMEAs, FMECAs, reliability modelling and fault tree analysis
