Key Responsibilities:

• Safety Engineering:
• Conduct safety assessments, including hazard analysis and risk assessments, to ensure systems meet regulatory safety standards.
• Work with safety teams to design and implement safety protocols.
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) of safety incidents and recommend corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Ensure that safety features are properly integrated into design and maintenance processes.
• Reliability Engineering:
• Perform reliability assessments on new and existing systems or equipment to identify potential failure modes and reliability risks.
• Develop reliability models and simulations to predict performance and identify areas for improvement.
• Apply reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategies to optimize system uptime and performance.
• Analyze failure data to identify root causes of reliability issues and recommend corrective actions.
• Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and fault tree analysis (FTA) to assess risk and failure impact.
• Maintainability Engineering:
• Develop and implement maintenance strategies to improve the maintainability of systems, including predictive, preventive, and corrective maintenance techniques.
• Analyze maintenance data to optimize maintenance schedules and reduce equipment downtime.
• Develop maintenance plans and procedures to ensure ease of system repairs and replacements.
• Data Analysis and Reporting:
• Collect and analyze data related to system performance, maintenance history, and safety incidents.
• Prepare detailed reports, presentations, and documentation on reliability, maintainability, and safety performance.
• Provide actionable insights based on data to improve operational processes and decision-making.
• Collaboration and Communication:
• Work closely with design, operations, and maintenance teams to ensure seamless integration of reliability, maintainability, and safety practices.
• Lead or participate in cross-functional teams for continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide training and guidance to other engineers, operators, and maintenance personnel on best practices related to reliability, safety, and maintainability.
