E01-L03 Reliability Engineer IV

Reliability Engineer IV

JHNA, CTSi, and EXPANSIA have come together to form a Defense Technology platform named Aether Aerospace focused on delivering high-impact technologies, technology-enabled services and advanced manufacturing solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense and related national security customers. Backed by Falfurrias Management Partners, the platform brings together deep domain expertise across Army, Navy, and Air Force and Space Force programs, digital engineering, systems integration, and specialized manufacturing capabilities.

The combined organization operates as a multi-entity aerospace and defense technology and tech-enabled services and manufacturing enterprise positioned for scalable growth, operational excellence, and long-term value creation.

As a Reliability Engineer IV, you will be responsible for the availability, performance, monitoring, and incident response, among other things, of the cloud platforms and services. Ensure that everything that goes to production complies with a set of general requirements like diagrams, dependencies of other services, monitoring and logging plans, backups and possible high availability setups. Manages uncaught exceptions, hardware degradation, networking problems, high usage of resources, or slow responses that could happen at any time.

Uses metrics such as mean time to recover (MTTR) and mean time to failure (MTTF). Considered an emerging authority, who applies extensive technical expertise. Develops technical solutions to complex problems. Exercises considerable latitude in determining objectives and approaches to assignment.
