Requirements
5+ years of reliability engineering (or similar) experience in complex hardware-centric systems; preferably in aerospace/defense/unmanned systems or high-reliability industrial/automotive environments.
Demonstrated experience applying reliability methods such as FMEA, FMECA, and RCFA.
Strong data-analysis skills: ability to ingest large data sets (field returns, operational logs), perform statistical/trend analysis, build dashboards, derive actionable insights.
Experience with reliability testing: accelerated life tests, environmental stress screening, vibration/thermal/thermal-cycle/shock/humidity, life-cycle modelling.
Knowledge of safety‐critical system standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., MIL-STD, DO-178, DO-254).
Prior experience in UAS/unmanned aerial systems, defense/mission-critical systems, or high-availability aerospace systems.
Responsibilities
Mach Industries is seeking a Reliability Engineer who will own the end-to-end reliability lifecycle for our UAS platforms, subsystems, and processes.
In this role you will ensure that our systems meet reliability, maintainability, and operational life-expectancy targets in the context of mission-critical defense applications.
You will manage data-driven strategies to predict and prevent failures, extend system life, and ensure safe, dependable operation in demanding environments.
You will operate in a fast-paced startup environment, and thus must be comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, cross-functional collaboration, and building out reliability frameworks from the ground up.
Develop, deploy and maintain a reliability program plan for our UAS platforms and key subsystems (hardware, firmware, software) following best-practices (e.g., failure-mode and effects analysis (FMEA)).
Define reliability and maintainability requirements and metrics (e.g., MTBF, MTBR, availability, mission readiness, failure rate targets) early in the design lifecycle, and track performance through production and field operation.
