Reliability Engineer

General responsibilities:

- Cooperate with engineering team to identify and eliminate as many potential losses at the design stage.

- Stable machine cycle time increasing mean time between failure (MTBF)

- Integrate the new equipment into existing lines. Deterioration is easily measured and corrected. Routine maintenance tasks are easy to perform and carried out by internal personnel. Short MTTR.

- Develop and refine Preventive Maintenance and condition monitoring routines for new equipment. Advise technical training needed for maintenance technicians

- Define costs and value drivers to support life cycle cost reduction and maximize return on capital invested

Main duties:

Business Results
