Job description

Summary:

Meta is seeking an experienced and self-motivated Reliability Engineer to join our Asset Management & Reliability team within Facility Operations. This person will work within Facility Operations to identify and manage asset reliability risks and various stages of end-to-end asset lifecycle for the Data Center Operations. Managing stakeholders spread across time zones and key to the success of our individual projects and overall asset management, and reliability program. In this role, you will be expected to own and execute within your focus areas, contribute to scoping and roadmapping for reliability initiatives, and solve complex technical problems to ensure seamless operations across new and existing sites.

Required Skills:

Data Center Facility Operations Reliability Engineer Responsibilities:

1. Lead operational Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and establish maintenance strategies.

2. Manage and govern content for the Global Maintenance Library, ensuring rigorous Maintenance Change Management processes are followed.

3. Drive Corrective Maintenance initiatives through deep Failure Mode Analysis to identify root causes and implement preventive measures.

4. Evaluate regulatory and compliance requirements, providing governance and ensuring adherence across all reliability activities.

5. Support and execute Condition-Based Monitoring and Diagnostics programs, including testing, vibration analysis, infrared (IR), partial discharge (PD), and robotics applications.

6. Assess and optimize Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) metrics to drive continuous improvement.

7. Contribute to continuous production risk models to prioritize resources and mitigate operational vulnerabilities.

8. Manage non-critical scope and support supplier scope management to ensure external partners meet reliability and quality standards.

9. Implement and optimize sensor-based condition monitoring and maintenance (e.g., infrared, temperature, pressure, flow, leak detection) to remotely monitor and assign maintenance tasks.

10. Support technical insourcing versus outsourcing decision-making for maintenance and reliability activities.

11. Establish Service Bill of Materials (BOM) setups and drive initial and continuous spares selection processes.

12. Develop and execute a comprehensive whole-equipment sparing strategy to minimize downtime.

13. Identify First-of-Kind (FOK) parts and establish Parts Factory Base Part Number (FBPN) setups.

14. Conduct Form-Fit-Function technical analysis to evaluate and approve replacement components.

15. Act as the primary liaison to IBOS and ISCE teams for managing replacement parts backlog, timeliness, tooling requirements, and auditing.

16. Identify reliability opportunities and contribute to engineering excellence within the team.
