What You Will Do:
The Reliability Engineer within the Maintenance Center of Excellence (MCoE) will work with manufacturing sites maintenance teams engineering organizations equipment suppliers and other technical experts to improve equipment reliability and maintenance effectiveness.

The Reliability Engineer Maintenance CoE will apply reliability engineering principles and maintenance best practices to identify equipment performance opportunities reduce recurring failures and help develop effective preventive predictive and condition-based maintenance strategies.

• Support the development and improvement of equipment maintenance and reliability strategies across manufacturing sites; analyze equipment performance and maintenance data to identify bad actors recurring failures and reliability improvement opportunities.
• Use metrics such as maintenance downtime MTBF MTTR repeat failures PM performance and maintenance history to identify and prioritize improvement opportunities; ;perform and facilitate root cause analysis (RCA) for significant and recurring equipment failures and help sites develop effective corrective actions.
• Apply FMEA equipment criticality and reliability-centered maintenance principles to evaluate equipment risks and maintenance requirements; review existing preventive maintenance programs and help identify opportunities to improve task content frequencies and effectiveness; help identify opportunities to transition appropriate equipment from time-based preventive maintenance toward condition-based and predictive maintenance.
• Work with site maintenance organizations to improve the connection between equipment failure modes and maintenance tasks; provide support for maintenance planning scheduling backlog management work-order quality job plans and failure coding; use SAP or other CMMS/EAM systems to evaluate equipment history maintenance activities and failure information.
• Work with the MCoE team to improve the quality and use of maintenance and reliability data; support deployment of common maintenance and reliability standards across manufacturing sites; participate in site maintenance assessments and help identify gaps and improvement opportunities.
• Support predictive maintenance and asset-health initiatives including vibration analysis thermography ultrasound oil analysis and other condition-monitoring technologies; work with site teams and technical specialists to determine where condition monitoring can improve equipment reliability or reduce unnecessary preventive maintenance.
• Partner with site OEE and Industrial Engineering teams to understand equipment-related availability losses and translate those losses into maintenance and reliability improvement opportunities.
• Support Central Equipment/Capital Projects by providing maintenance and reliability input for new and modified equipment; participate in equipment design and maintainability reviews helping ensure appropriate consideration of access serviceability PM/PdM requirements spare parts documentation and maintenance data.
• Work directly with OEM technical and service organizations to support troubleshooting equipment repair failure analysis and reliability improvement.
• Help evaluate the technical performance of OEM and third-party maintenance providers; document lessons learned from equipment failures and reliability improvements so successful practices can be shared across sites; collaborate with experienced engineers equipment SMEs and technical
