ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
2. List the essential functions (i.e., key responsibilities with expected results) which must be accomplished in order to fulfill the purpose of your position as described above.
A. Develop a comprehensive system reliability and safety program plan, interfacing with
Program Management to align key dates, resources, and milestones. Tracking and
reporting progress to deliverables and developing recommendations for program gate
decisions.
B. Quantify system reliability and safety requirements based on customer wants/needs,
and competitive benchmarking information. Allocate reliability and safety requirements
to subsystem and component teams.
C. Have a general understanding of reliability estimation methods, such as Reliability
Block Diagrams, MIL-STD-217F, RIAC 217Plus, NPRD 2016, FMEA/FMECA, etc.
D. Have a general understanding of safety assessments, such as Fault Tree, DAL, PSSA,
SSA, etc.
E. Lead complex reliability and safety analyses, either individually or through team efforts.
F. Understand basic aerospace safety standards DO-178C and DO-254A
G. Understand basic state of the practice methods for aircraft certification (ARP4754 and
ARP4761).
H. Guide the development of design Critical to Quality (CTQ) measures of program
success based on customer wants/needs.
I. Support the risk management process – including DFMEA, robustness models (P-
diagram), and a program risk management log, promoting early identification and
resolution of risk.
J. Define and execute system and component design validation plans and reports
(DVP&R), including accelerated life testing and life test data analysis.
K. Managing a reliability growth plan, utilizing reliability analysis tools to calculate system
and component reliability growth.
L. Support Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) process,
driving continuous improvement through a statistical problem solving approach.
M. Present reliability/safety program status to both internal and external customers.
N. Mentor other engineers in DFSS and reliability disciplines; provide formal training on
selected topics in DFSS and Reliability.
O. Develop strong network and usage of global capabilities.
