Job Opportunity-Dallas Texas

I have a job opportunity in the Dallas, Texas area for an engineer with Goldsim modeling experience. Below is a job description. If you have any interest, my phone number is (469) 242-9257, or you can email me at bmuth@rangerstaffing.com

PRIMARY JOB FUNCTION

Work with the Systems Engineering Group to develop Design for Reliability (DfR) Plans for

Systems Integration Activities; support the implementation of such plans to drive changes into

Designs. This individual is expected to create predictive reliability models in early part of a design

using historical performance data from similar on­market instruments and perform Change Point

Analysis to identify Critical­to­Reliability (CTR) items based on known differences between the

design and similar on­market predecessor instruments. Thus a Systems Reliability Engineer is

expected to benchmark performance of on­market predecessor instruments and use that to

conduct system reliability predictions, allocation and apportionment down to critical sub­systems

by working closely with the Data Analysis Group and the Systems Engineering Group.

A Systems Reliability Engineer also develops systems reliability analysis reports, assists with

writing detailed product, system and sub­system level qualification test plans and procedures with

the relevant technical disciplines and compiles test data into reports for management.

The individual is also expected to support Failure Analysis and Root Cause Investigations and

capture lessons learned at the various stages of product evolution and use those to create best

practices to support upgrades of work standards and for training purposes.

This position reports to the Director of Reliability Engineering.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

­Work closely with the Systems Engineering team and the Data Analysis group to create systems

predictive reliability models through benchmarking and understanding of historical reliability

performance of relevant predecessor systems.

­Capture lessons learned and best practices from predecessor products relevant to the current

design to support risk mitigation activities.

­Facilitate System and Subsystem level dFMEAs/FMECAs and uses the resulting Risk Mitigation

Plan as the basis for the Reliability Plan to support the design

­Assist with Post­Launch Reliability Planning to ensure that Failure Investigations are continued

until assignable root­causes are determined. Captures all lessons learned and best practices after

a successful resolution of the issues in a manner that benefits future design efforts.

­Integrate on­market reliability performance and operating history data into systems reliability

models to validate models and identify potential performance and reliability improvement for

critical subsystems and components.

Note: Additional duties and responsibilities may be added as required.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Bachelor’s Degree in Material Science, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,

Electrical/Electronics Engineering or in Applied Science or Operations Research/Applied

Statistics.

An advanced degree in these areas preferred.

EXPERIENCE

Min. 5­Yr Experience as a Systems, Mechanical or Electrical Designer in Medical Diagnostics

Industry or any industry where complex designs that incorporate elements of Robotics, Optics and

Fluidics technologies. Min. 1­Yr Goldsim modeling and simulation experience.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES

­ Demonstrated ability to model and simulate Engineering systems with Goldsim modeling

and simulation software

­Demonstrated knowledge and proven experience in areas of Reliability, Maintainability and

Testability including, but not limited to the following: System Modeling and Predictions, FMEA and

FMECA, Root Cause Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis and Reliability Growth Testing & Modeling

­Proven experience with various System architectures, that support the use of redundancy

options, fault tolerant designs, self­diagnosing systems, prognostic health monitoring and repair

strategies.

­Ability to use Microsoft Office Suite of Software – Excel, Word, PowerPoint to a level of

professional proficiency. Able to produce professional Engineering reports

­Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively communicate to individuals or

groups in a clear and concise manner

­Ability to create reliability block diagrams of systems in a manner that captures the functional

dependencies of the components

­Ability to facilitate and execute FMEAs, create a Risks Mitigation Plan and follow up on execution

and closure of identified action items

­Knowledge and use of Reliability Analysis software programs to create reliability models and

perform reliability allocations

­Ability to work on multiple projects and meet deadlines as set by management

­Ability to lead and/or participate in meetings to find solutions to complex reliability problems

­Knowledge of six­sigma techniques and ability to perform statistical analysis

­Strong commitment to learning and continuous improvement

­Excellent team work and interpersonal skills

­Ability to work in comfort and with confidence with other stakeholders regarding reliability

deliverables.
