The role also involves leading cross‑functional teams to drive reliability initiatives, developing predictive maintenance strategies, and ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop and execute equipment reliability strategies to improve asset performance and minimize unplanned downtime, leveraging methodologies such as Reliability‑Centered Maintenance (RCM), Equipment Criticality Analysis, and Risk‑Based Inspection (RBI).
• Provide technical oversight and support for control systems, automation platforms, instrumentation, and related equipment to improve system reliability, troubleshooting effectiveness, and operational performance.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and other reliability assessments to identify recurring equipment issues and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on increasing equipment reliability, availability, maintainability, and overall system uptime.
• Develop, implement, and optimize preventive and predictive maintenance programs to maximize asset life, improve equipment performance, and reduce maintenance costs.
• Monitor, analyze, and interpret equipment performance and failure data to identify trends, forecast maintenance needs, drive data‑based decision making, and establish processes for collecting, managing, and reporting reliability data where gaps currently exist.
• Lead and support projects involving equipment upgrades, controls improvements, system optimization, and reliability enhancement initiatives.
• Partner with Engineering, Maintenance, Operations, and Production teams to ensure successful execution of reliability and asset performance objectives.
• Provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentorship to engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel on reliability engineering best practices.
• Ensure reliability and maintenance activities comply with all applicable safety, environmental, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Support audits, risk assessments, and compliance initiatives related to equipment reliability, maintenance programs, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in reliability engineering or a related role in a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated experience in Control Systems (Ladder Logic, Structured Text, and Function Block Diagram, hardware configurations and communication protocols).
• Proven track record of improving equipment reliability and maintenance.
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles.
• Experience with Total Productive Maintenance Implementation (Early Equipment Management, Autonomous Maintenance, and Quality Maintenance).
• Excellent communication and project leadership abilities.
• Molding and automated assembly experience is a plus.
• Professional certifications (e.g., Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional (CMRP)) are a plus.
