QuantiTech is currently seeking a Aviation Maintenance & Reliability Engineer to support our customer in Huntsville, AL.

The Aviation Maintenance & Reliability Engineer will work as part of the Army's Reliability Improvement through Failure Identification and Reporting (RIMFIRE) Project team. The RIMFIRE program provides the Army with a complete Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) on equipment inducted at maintenance facilities. This program is a closed-loop system for identifying and tracking root failure causes of failure and subsequently determining which failures, conditions or maintenance practices should be identified as candidates for corrective action.

This position will combine Aviation Maintenance and Reliability Engineering subject matter expertise to conduct analysis and determine causes of Army Aviation component and systems removal for overhaul. This position will review Tear Down Analysis reports identifying why aviation assets were returned to the depot. This includes identifying all conditions that led to failures in the field or reasons assets were removed without causable condition for depot repair. Immediate assignments will focus on identification of main drivers of equipment removals and reliability. This will involve engineering analysis that includes failure assessments and trending.
