What you will get to do:

The selected engineer will be responsible for the following:

• Conditioned Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) supporting effort to optimize scheduled maintenance, thereby reducing Lifecycle Cost (LCC)
• Develop CBM+ architecture and tool development
• Conditioned Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) is an effort to utilize predictive maintenance to align unscheduled maintenance with scheduled maintenance, thereby reducing Lifecycle Cost (LCC).
• CBM+ capability involves Model-Based Reasoning (MBR) for diagnostic and prognostic capabilities, including Remaining Useful Life (RUL) calculations.

Prognostic Models can be one of the following:

• Physics-Based Model(s)
• Data-Driven Machine Learning (ML) Model(s)
• Hybrid Model(s)

• Embed prognostic and diagnostic capabilities/technologies for the Weapon System
• Implements, supports and maintains a Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) closed loop data reporting system.
• Tracks all failures of functional equipment parts from date of failure to date of closure in compliance with Customer’s closed loop FRACAS requirements.
• Collects diagnostic data and maintenance repair data on repair/fix actions to improve RAM performance.
• Analyzes equipment designs and provides Baseline Comparative Systems (BCS) assessments, MIL-HDBK-217, Electronic Predicted Reliability Data (EPRD) and Non-Electronic Predicted Reliability Data (NPRD) Predictions.
• Develops Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) to assess Logistic and Mission Reliability requirements.
• Develops Maintenance Task Analyses (MTAs) to determine component repair times, crew size, support equipment, skill levels and maintenance tasks required to restore a component to an operational condition.
• Develops Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA) to identify single point failures, safety critical failure modes, fault isolation and detection percentages and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) scheduled maintenance assessments.
• Identifies Reliability Critical Items (RCIs).
• Ensures a failure reporting information system through which an historical trend database can be managed. Ensure accuracy and completeness of failure reporting data, the analysis and the root cause corrective action implemented.
• Compiles and analyzes performance reports and process control statistics; investigates and analyzes relevant variables potentially affecting product and processes.
• Ensure that failure mode root cause and corrective action (RCCA) measures meet acceptable R&M standards.
• As necessary, propose changes in design, to improve system and ensure corrective action effectiveness.
• Develops and presents RAM assessments and lesso
