Reliability Engineer

The Reliability Engineer will provide maintenance reliability and predictive maintenance support to the Manufacturing Facility and develop/establish the reliability engineering tools/programs to ensure that all equipment remain in optimal state of operation and cGMP compliance. Must have the ability to apply engineering theory, practices, and principles to determine root cause of equipment failures and to perform equipment performance evaluations. Essential Functions (ES) and Responsibilities

• Works to ensure the reliability and maintainability of new and modified installations. The Reliability Engineer is responsible for adhering to the Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM) process throughout the entire life cycle of new and existing assets.
• Participate in the development of design and installation specifications along with commissioning plans. Participate in the development of criteria for and evaluation of equipment and technical MRO suppliers and technical maintenance service providers. Develops acceptance tests and inspection criteria.
• Participates in the final check out of new installations. This includes factory and site acceptance testing that will assure adherence to functional specifications.
• Guides efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls, and safety/security systems.
• Professionally and systematically defines, designs, develops, monitors, and refines an Asset Maintenance Plan that includes Value-added preventive maintenance tasks and Effective utilization of predictive and other non-destructive testing methodologies designed to identify and isolate inherent reliability problems
• Provides input to a Risk Management Plan that will anticipate reliability-related, and non-reliability-related risks that could adversely impact plant operation.
• Works with Production to perform analyses of assets including Asset Utilization, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, remaining useful life and other parameters that define operating condition, reliability, and costs of assets.
• Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations. These problems include capacity, quality, cost, or regulatory compliance issues. To fulfill this responsibility the Reliability Engineer applies:
• Data analysis techniques that can include:
• Statistical Process Control, Reliability modeling and prediction, Fault Tree Analysis, Weibull Analysis, Six Sigma (6σ) Methodology
• Root-cause, Root-Cause Failure and Failure Mode Effectiveness Analysis (RCA, RCFA, FMEA)
• Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)
• Preliminary Hazards Analysis (PHA)
