- Guide the project team in the implementation of reliability engineering methodologies,
- techniques, standards, procedures and the application of appropriate statistical tools.
- With the project team, set reliability targets for products under development.
- Gather field reliability data, populate the reliability model and identify areas of concern.
- Calculate cumulative effect on final system reliability of individual part reliabilities, identify
- gaps and determine appropriate actions to achieve customer specified operational reliability.
- Conduct technical risk analysis such as a FMEA to determine specific risk areas. Develop tests
- to be conducted based as identified by FMEA results.
- Rationalize tests to be conducted to determine sample size, test methods and other details
- that will produce efficient, statistically valid results.
- Monitor the test program and recommend adjustments as needed to meet reliability targets.
- Participate in technical design reviews and contribute solutions to reliability related issues.
- Coordinate root cause analysis of failed items.
- Compile and communicate lessons learned and ensure prevention of failures by archiving
- captured knowledge for re-use.
- Monitor and analyze key reliability indicators during product development and after
- commercialization, and keep management informed.
