Job description

As a Reliability Engineer you will provide technical expertise in life cycle asset management to improve equipment reliability, availability, maintainability, and performance while reducing asset care costs. You will support manufacturing operations. It does this by developing reliability strategies, including Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Additionally, it includes Preventive Maintenance (PM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), and continuous improvement programs.

The Reliability Engineer uses tools such as FMEA, RCA, RCM, Total Cost of Ownership, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, and statistical methods to evaluate asset performance, identify improvement opportunities, and document results.

You will report to the EFIN Manager and be located at Columbia, SC. You will be 100% onsite with the exception of one day a week WFH to be determined at a later date.

Key Responsibilities

• Map manufacturing processes, equipment, systems, and equipment relationships.
• Perform reliability, critical asset, risk priority, RCM, and FMEA analysis.
• Develop equipment maintenance plans based on failure modes, technologies, and maintenance tasks.
• Create and improve preventive and predictive maintenance strategies.
• Conduct Root Cause Failure Analysis and identify reliability improvements.
• Analyze equipment performance using MTBF, MTTR, OEE, and other reliability measures.
• Develop reliability reports and queries to support continuous improvement.
• Review obsolete parts and identify equivalent replacements.
• Coordinate reliability-based projects and implement improvements using Management of Change (MOC) methods.
• Develop specifications for replacement parts in the manufacturing environment.
• Support the design, construction, operation, and troubleshooting of fuel manufacturing facilities.
• Develop technical expertise supporting CFFF operations and construction of the LEU+ manufacturing site.
• Work with an Engineering Mentor to develop Safety Basis knowledge in a nuclear environment.
• Collaborate with teams to resolve issues affecting nuclear manufacturing facility construction and operations.
• Build relationships with internal and external Westinghouse customers.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering.
• At least 4 years of engineering experience, including reliability engineering.
• 4 years of experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Knowledge of data collection, statistical analysis, and reliability analysis tools.
• Experience with reliability methods such as FMEA, Weibull Analysis, Root Cause Analysis, and statistical analysis.
• Technical skills with an interest in technical design and analysis.
• Commitment to safety and quality.
• CMRP certification or ability to obtain certification.
• Use reliability software.
• Open to limited travel.
• Understanding of product reliability goals, reliability growth, and reliability prediction.
