Fleet Reliability Engineer

Failure analysis & continuous improvement

Field service, maintenance & logistics

Reliability engineering & scale

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Reliability, or a related engineering discipline — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 5+ years of engineering experience with deployed electro-mechanical hardware, at least 2 of which are in reliability, sustaining/field engineering, or hardware operations for a fielded product.
• Demonstrated ownership of hardware reliability outcomes for a fleet or installed base — you have been directly responsible for uptime, failure rates, or MTBF/MTTR of real hardware in the field.
• Hands-on proficiency with root-cause analysis methods (8D, 5-Whys, fishbone) and reliability tools such as FMEA, fault-tree analysis, and CAPA.
• Practical experience diagnosing electro-mechanical systems using telemetry/logs, bench instruments, and physical teardown.
• Data fluency: able to query, analyze, and visualize fleet telemetry using SQL and Python (or equivalent) to find trends and drive decisions.
• Working knowledge of electronics, power systems, and mechanical enclosures, and the failure modes of hardware operating in harsh outdoor environments.
• Willingness and ability to travel periodically to field sites (vessels, ports, installation locations), including occasional international travel.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States and able to satisfy any customer- or contract-driven eligibility requirements associated with government and maritime-security work.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with hardware deployed in marine, maritime, offshore, automotive, aerospace/defense, satellite, telecom, or other remote/harsh-environment fleets.
• Familiarity with IP-rated enclosures, corrosion and salt-fog effects, marine power systems, and environmental qualification (e.g., IEC 60529, MIL-STD-810, IEC 60068).
• Experience with connected/IoT or edge devices: remote diagnostics, OTA firmware updates, and interpreting embedded-system and connectivity (SATCOM/cellular) telemetry.
• Exposure to camera/optical systems, RF/software-defined radios, batteries, or edge-AI compute hardware.
• Background building a reliability or sustaining-engineering function from scratch at a hardware startup or scaling operation.
• ASQ Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) or comparable credential.
