• Drive multidisciplinary failure investigations, build and track fault trees, and help run tests/experiments on the ground to narrow down probable causes
• Drive corrective action of design, production, test, and operational issues to ultimately improve satellite reliability
• Perform hands-on troubleshooting in the lab as part of key efforts to help identify root-cause
• Create data analysis programs to identify satellite anomalous behavior as well as production yield issues to help better understand reliability performance
• Conduct regular reliability reviews to ensure that design intent is achieved and well-communicated; identify opportunities for risk reduction, and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve on orbit life

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage
