About the role
Job Description
We are looking for a Lead Supportability Engineer with strong industry experience not necessarily within the domain of Supportability, but those with backgrounds in Electronics/Hardware or Systems would also be suitable.
The Supportability department has a unique position within our business as it is involved in the full lifecycle of a programme, from Bid, Development, Production then Customer Support and eventually disposal. We draw engineers from many different disciplines such as Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical, and System Engineering to enhance the Supportability department.
We expect our people to create strong working relationships with cross-department colleagues in Systems, Electronics, Mechanical, Software, Test Equipment, Quality and Industrial to identify problems on complex systems before they reach Production or the Customer.
As a department, we have a strong focus on continuous improvement of our procedures and processes but also of our department itself and want anyone who joins to be part of that journey. This might include using your engineering talent to grow and develop the Supportability community and skill base through the mentoring, coaching and development of more junior members of the team or contributing to best practices to help drive out the cost and reputational consequence of failure. We can also help you develop your skills and offer great opportunities to develop, grow and progress in your career!
Your impact
As a Lead Engineer, you will be leading a team of Supportability Engineers who deliver a wide range of Supportability Engineering work packages. You will work closely with Project Managers, Operations and Project Engineering Managers from other functions within the Integrated Project Teams to advise on Supportability requirements, provide analysis and offer guidance.
What you’ll bring
You will support and develop your team to ensure the broad range of Supportability analysis and deliverables can be completed, including:
Reliability Analysis: Working with other disciplines, your team will develop component to system level reliability models, including the use of Reliability Block Diagram Methodology…
