Reliability Analyst

Essential Functions

• Collect, validate, and analyze fleet-wide performance and component reliability data to identify adverse trends, repetitive discrepancies, and systemic failure modes across aircraft systems.
• Conduct monthly evaluation of Pilot Reports (PIREPs) and Maintenance Reports (MREPs) to detect emerging patterns requiring engineering or maintenance program action.
• Perform Final Fix Analysis (FFA) on recurring aircraft system faults, applying root-cause methodology to isolate true corrective actions and prevent recurrence.
• Develop and maintain CASS and Reliability program reports, synthesizing fleet reliability metrics and component removal data for monthly CASS Board review.
• Generate the Mechanical Interruption Summary Report (MISR) for submission to the Certificate Holding District Office (CHDO) in compliance with FAA regulatory requirements.
• Translate raw aircraft data into structured, executive-ready findings that inform maintenance strategy, reliability targets, and cross-functional decision-making.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Maintenance, Materials and OEM representatives to investigate and resolve reliability findings.
• Champion the adoption of modern analytical platforms and innovative approaches to continuously improve program sophistication.
• Maintain all program documentation in accordance with FAA regulations, company procedures, and applicable airworthiness directives.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in aviation, Engineering, Data Analytics, or STEM related fields; equivalent combination of education and experience considered.
• Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
• Organized with the ability to multi-task and manage competing priorities regularly.
• Ability to read, speak, and understand the English language.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the USA.

Prioritized Qualifications

• Working knowledge of FAA Advisory Circular AC 120-17B and its application to Reliability program management.
• Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools, including advanced Excel (pivot tables, statistical functions, Power Query), Power BI.
• Strong quantitative and analytical aptitude; experience applying statistical methods (Weibull analysis, confidence intervals, regression, correlation) to maintenance and reliability data.
• Demonstrated expertise in aviation reliability analysis, including experience with CASS programs, component reliability trending, and maintenance program surveillance.
• Ability to interpret aircraft system data and maintenance records and synthesize findings into clear, defensible written products for regulatory and executive audiences.
• Apply statistical methods including Weibull analysis, confidence interval estimation, and findings ratio assessment - to support maintenance program changes and interval escalation proposals in alignment with AC 120-17B guidance.
