Equipment Reliability Engineer (Starlink)

EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARLINK)

The primary role of the Equipment Reliability Engineer is to identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect factory or business operations. As production develops and increases rate, the Equipment Reliability Engineers primary goal is to achieve maximum asset and system up-time by implementing and executing plans to minimize production losses, unpredictable asset behavior, and unusually high costs for system maintainability. In addition, the Equipment Reliability Engineer acts as the accountable engineering resource in driving the design, build, and installation stages of new and modified assets as well as provides technical support to maintenance management, technicians, and production personnel to prevent and mitigate operational issues of critical equipment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Work with project engineering to ensure the reliability and sustainability of new and modified installations
• Guide efforts to ensure consistency and maintainability of critical equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls, and safety/security systems
• Own equipment improvement plans for more responsive and developed preventative maintenance strategies, equipment effectiveness, and minimization of production downtime
• Define, design, develop, monitor, and refine an asset maintenance plan that includes, value-added preventive maintenance tasks, minimization of high-cost low-value repairs, effective utilization of predictive and other non-destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems
• Prepare asset documentation package for review of system mechanical design, controls, and software
• Develop engineering solutions to repetitive failures and equipment-specific problems that adversely affect plant operations including capacity, quality, cost or regulatory compliance issues
• Work with production to perform analyses of assets including, asset utilization rate, overall equipment effectiveness, remaining useful life, operational restrictions, and other parameters that define the operating condition, reliability, and costs of assets
• Provide technical support to production, maintenance management, and technical personnel
• Manage production requests for asset improvement, control functions, and data collection
• Apply value analysis to repair/replace, repair/redesign, and make/buy decisions

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, aerospace, systems, or manufacturing engineering
• 1+ years of experience in an engineering role in manufacturing, integration, reliability, technical program management, and/or operations

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Advanced degrees in engineering with reliability analysis experience through research and/or internships
• 2+ years of experience in a maintenance engineering role and reliability in a high-volume manufacturing, testing, or operational environment
• Hands-on experience with equipment control systems, machinery, and industrial automation
• Developed understanding of mechanical, fluid, and electrical components
• Ability to read and understand equipment schematics and OEM manuals
• Experience in using probability and statistical tools and methods
• Demonstrates critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to demonstrate a high sense of urgency
• Experience working with CMMS programs such as Maximo, SAP, Infor, etc.
• Certified reliability engineer (CRE) or maintenance & reliability professional (CMRP)

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Physical effort including standing, lifting, and carrying equipment up to 25 lbs. unassisted
• Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range:
Equipment Reliability Engineer/Level I: $95,000.00 - $115,000.00/per year
Equipment Reliability Engineer/Level II: $110,000.00 - $130,000.00/per year
