EXPERIENCED MISSION ASSURANCE ENGINEER
Summary
Performs analysis of system configurations and / or individual equipment to verify satisfactory conformance with safety, quality, and / or engineering standards.
Generates fault trees, failure mode and effect analyses, and / or hazard analyses that identify situations where design and / or operational documents either fail to include or fail to satisfactorily integrate applicable requirements.
Utilizes root cause deterministic processes to eliminate or acceptably reduce recurring problems so as to improve schedule and / or cost without compromising quality and / or safety.
Familiar with MIL-STD-882, MIL-STD-1629, FAR, IEC, NFPA, OSHA, NASA Policy Directives, NASA Policy Guidelines, and other regulatory type requirements.
Familiar with Relux Studio and CAFTA analytical software. Also familiar with Microsoft Office software products.
