Reliability, Maintainability, and Quality Engineering

image depicting the area of reliability research


The essence of reliability, maintainability and quality (RM&Q) engineering lies in shaping system design to enhance mission capability and availability while minimizing logistics burdens and costs throughout the system's life cycle. Through meticulous planning, RM&Q engineering mitigates cost and schedule risks by proactively addressing or detecting RM&Q shortcomings in the initial stages of development. This proactive approach fosters improved acquisition efficiency and boosts success rates in operational testing and the overall development process.


Potential Career Options

Some of the career paths available in RM&Q are Reliability Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Quality Engineer, Asset Management Specialist, Systems Engineer, Field Service Engineer, Risk Analyst, Research and Development Engineer and Supply Chain Manager.
