Job Description

Reliability, Maintainability, Logistic supportability, and Availability (RMLA) Analyst

ORSA POSITION TITLE: RMLA Analyst

LOCATION: MCAS Yuma, Arizona

ORSA Technologies is seeking qualified candidates to provide analysis of Reliability, Maintainability, Logistic supportability, and Availability for systems under test to Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron One (VMX-1), located at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma. Candidates will support Test Planning and Execution for their functional area and collaborate with engineering and project management to plan, coordinate, and execute all RMLA work required during the conduct operational testing. The project includes assessing whether or not the system meets the applicable reliability, availability, logistic, and maintainability requirements.

Duties and expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Lead and perform Suitability Analysis for the program.
• Responsible for the suitability test planning, test execution, data collection, reduction and analysis as well as reporting.
• Ensure the reliability, maintainability, logistic supportability, and availability requirements are adequately addressed in the test and data collection plan.
  • Support Reliability Test Planning and Execution. Recommend sample sizes and test methods.
  • Support Maintainability Test Planning and Execution. Including planning and coordination for maintenance demonstrations, as applicable.
  • Support Logistic supportability Test Planning and Execution. Coordinate with NAVSUP as required. Review and provide feedback on the Program Life Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP).
  • Support Availability Test Planning and Execution.
• Review the system and subsystem design documents to ensure RMLA requirements are understood and incorporated into the test plan. Propose test methods and definitions to support the suitability evaluation.
• Analyze engineering documents to develop an understanding of the interfaces of the components and failure modes.
• Document failure definition and scoring criteria to support the suitability analysis for the system under test. Including developing the definitions of Essential Function Failures and Operational Mission Failures.
• Propose statistical analysis techniques for the RMLA requirements and document in the data analysis plan.
• Collaborate with engineering and project management to plan, coordinate, and execute all RMLA work required to conduct system and subsystem suitability testing.
• Coordinate, perform and execute all tasks required to achieve the project RMLA milestones: project RMLA Plan, reliability prediction analysis, maintainability and availability analysis, as well as logistics assessment.
• Maintain RMLA Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to visually convey system operational suitability status against the established project and test schedule.
• Attend Failure Review Board (FRB) meetings and participate in the review of root cause analysis findings, when applicable.
• Analyze projected system and subsystem utilization and calculate the cumulative effect of individual component reliabilities on final system reliability.
• Observe the conduct of tests to document and evaluate suitability factors, such as numbers and causes of unit failures, utilization time, down time, number of maintenance actions and maintenance times.
• Document and compile failure data generated during test. Compile and analyze this data set to evaluate the suitability of the system against the requirements.
• Conduct post test data analysis with appropriate statistics and document in the data analysis summary.
• Review failure modes to identify components posing excessive failure risks.
• Advise and confer with test directors and engineers in meetings to present suitability findings and recommendations.
