Position Overview:

The Reliability, Maintenance, Safety & Hazards Engineer manager the reliability and safety aspects of all our rail vehicle contracts (program plans, targets to be included in supplier specifications, input into the design through participation in design reviews, compilation of reliability and safety analyses for submittal to customer, reliability demonstration programs, etc). The RMS Engineer will ensure systems are in place to assess the reliability of our products in the field, both at the vehicle and component level, and must have the self-motivated and persuasive nature necessary to drive required investigations and corrective actions to improve the reliability of our vehicles. Other responsibilities include maintenance plans and life cycle costing.

The RMS Engineer needs to have a good knowledge of reliability and safety analysis techniques, as well as a broad appreciation of the technology we use on our rail vehicles (which includes microprocessor controlled systems, hardwired relay logic, electro-mechanical equipment, power electronics, hydraulics, and mechanical equipment). To be effective, the RMS engineer needs to be able to gain a good knowledge of the rail vehicle as a system. The RMS engineer will work closely with the system engineers to gain this knowledge and apply reliability and safety analysis techniques appropriately.

This position requires a reliability and safety specialist who also has a broad knowledge of engineering principles. Knowledge of the rail industry would be an advantage but is not essential.
