Senior Reliability Engineer

Senior Reliability Engineer About Forterra At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Our mission is to build the foundational platforms that enable an intelligent ecosystem to coordinate, adapt, and execute with speed and precision even in the uncertainty and disruption of modern conflict. In an era marked by rapid technological change and evolving threats, we design for flexibility, survivability, and operational dominance. Forterra delivers weapons, sensors, and battlefield effects through integrated autonomous networks reaching operational areas faster, safer, and without placing human lives at risk. Our systems operate with distributed control, dynamic routing, and real-time responsiveness, enabling sustained advantage across complex mission environments. About the role At Forterra, we're developing the future for Ground Based Autonomy. Forterra is seeking a Senior Reliability Engineer to join our Safety team and drive efforts in the development of safety-critical autonomous systems. This role is crucial in evolving our RAM processes, focused on advanced technologies to support our safety assured solutions. As a Senior Reliability Engineer, you will be a part of the Safety Engineering organization. Our Team is responsible for architecting systems which support safety-critical functions, establishing development methodologies for new technologies, and applying cutting edge hazard analysis techniques. As part of an experienced multi-disciplinary team, you will contribute to expanding ground based autonomous operational and functional capabilities. Your professional experience in software engineering and system safety will further strengthen the team's ability to support the Warfighter. You will collaborate with members from other groups within Forterra to ensure the safety of innovative solutions for uncrewed ground vehicle operations. What you'll do In your role as a Senior Reliability Engineer, you will contribute to the development and architectural design supporting the delivery of prototypes and safety-critical ground based autonomous solutions. You will be responsible for performing analyses for reliability prediction, reliability block diagrams, root cause and corrective action, identification of high reliability drivers, hazard identification, evaluation and control using quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques.
