Standard Job Description

Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 114,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is one of four Lockheed Martin business areas.

We are seeking to hire a Senior Reliability Engineer for the Reliability & Test Engineering team. Our team drives product reliability from concept to field, delivering robust designs, rigorous testing, and data driven improvements that keep Lockheed Martin systems flying safely and on schedule

What You Will Be Doing

As the Senior Reliability Engineer you will own the reliability agenda across the entire product lifecycle. You’ll partner with cross functional engineers, influence technical boards, and turn reliability data into concrete actions that enhance performance, reduce risk, and meet contractual commitments.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analyses (FMECA) and produce reliability block diagrams and quantitative predictions.

• Create, execute, and track reliability growth plans; perform growth analysis to ensure program contracts are satisfied.

• Support design reviews, test events, and configuration control processes (ECP, CSB, CCB).

• Participate in Corrective Action Boards (CAB) and Failure Review Boards (FRB) to drive root cause resolution.

• Analyze FRACAS trends, prioritize failure modes, and recommend corrective actions that prevent recurrence.

• Build mathematical models to flag high risk units, batches, or processes and propose design or formulation changes.

• Define and implement statistical process control procedures and test methods to meet reliability targets.

• Compile performance reports, process control statistics, and detailed reliability documentation for stakeholders.

• Collaborate daily with engineers, program managers, and customers, delivering clear analytical input and written reports.

• Travel occasionally to field sites, test facilities, or customer meetings to support reliability initiatives

Develops, coordinates and conducts technical reliability studies and evaluations of engineering design concepts and design of experiments (doe) constructs. Recommends design or test methods and statistical process control procedures for achieving required levels of product reliability. Compiles and analyzes performance reports and process control statistics; investigates and analyzes relevant variables potentially affecting product and processes. Ensures that corrective measures meet acceptable reliability standards. Analyzes preliminary plans and develops reliability engineering programs to achieve company, customer and governmental agency reliability objectives. May develop mathematical models to identify units, batches or processes posing excessive failure risks. As necessary, proposes changes in design or formulation to improve system and/or process reliability. May determine units and/or batches requiring environmental testing, and specifies minimum number of samples to obtain statistically valid data.
