* Undertaking reliability and maintainability analysis and engineering tasks to influence the design and future sustainment of platforms and systems so that they are inherently supportable in their intended use within the constraints of the operation and environment

* Maintaining an awareness of latest changes and developments in standards, international specifications, toolsets and recognised methods

* Contributing to broader technical reviews, integration activities, and planning events

* Providing technical R, M & T engineering guidance and advice internally and to external teams

* Contributing to ensuring the alignment between reliability and maintainability engineering, safety engineering and human factors engineering in any reliability analysis activities undertaken

Benefits:

* Enhanced Pension scheme- up to 14% combined

* Ill Health Income Protection/ Private Medical Insurance- 50% of salary

About You:

Essential:

* Knowledge of the principles of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Testability

* Experience of applying at least several of the following R, M & T engineering tools / techniques / approaches on complex programmes: Failure Modes, Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA), R, M & T Allocation, Prediction & Modelling of complex systems & Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)

* Good IT Skills, including MS Office but also experience working with digital engineering tools

Desirable:

* Ex maintenance background

* Knowledge and experience in applying international and/or military standards and specifications relevant to Reliability engineering (e.g. ASD/AIA S-Series Specifications, MSG-3, Def-Stan 00-40 series, Def-Stan 00-045)
