hypersonica-prod - Hypersonica - 19 RAMS Engineer (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety)
Requirements
• An experienced Reliability / Safety / RAMS Engineer with a track record of working on real, deployed systems • Strong experience in FMEA / FMECA development and system-level risk modelling • Hands-on experience in failure investigation in real-world environments (test, flight, launch, or in-service systems) • Proven ability to balance reliability vs complexity trade-offs in engineering design • Experience applying structured problem-solving methods (e.g. fault trees, fishbone diagrams, root cause analysis) • Background in aerospace, defence, or other highly complex system environments • Experience in roles such as quality, reliability, test, certification, V&V, or design engineering • Strong systems thinking - you can evaluate risk holistically rather than optimising locally • Ability to influence design decisions across disciplines with clarity and engineering rigour • Comfortable operating with incomplete data, ambiguity, and tight constraints • You’ve worked on systems where failure has real-world consequences, not just theoretical models • You take ownership of complex problems and drive them through to resolution
Responsibilities
• Own and develop system-level FMEA / FMECA frameworks across vehicle design, AIT, and operations • Define and drive a coherent system failure tolerance strategy, balancing redundancy, complexity, and performance • Lead risk identification, quantification, and mitigation planning across the full product lifecycle • Build structured failure analysis methodologies (fault trees, root cause analysis, etc.) and apply them to real test/flight data • Translate reliability insights into clear design and architecture recommendations across avionics and system subsystems • Evaluate trade-offs between reliability, cost, and performance, enabling informed engineering decision-making • Ensure all credible failure modes are identified, assessed, and mitigated to acceptable risk levels • Support and lead failure investigations from test campaigns, feeding learnings directly back into design • Collaborate cross-functionally with GNC, hardware, software, and integration teams to ensure holistic system reliability • Drive design-for-reliability principles early in the development cycle to avoid over- or under-engineering • Establish best-in-class RAMS practices suitable for high-performance, mission-critical aerospace systems • Continuously iterate based on real-world data to improve system robustness and long-term viability
