Asset Reliability Engineer, Precision Maintenance Systems

Job Description

Job Description

A day in the life

You start by walking the line with the maintenance team, reinforcing the ATS safety culture and confirming regulatory and policy compliance. A bottleneck shows up in production; you partner with internal and external customer stakeholders to design an engineered fix that boosts throughput without sacrificing reliability. In a reliability strategy session, you review Work Execution Management (WEM) gaps, mentor techs on improvements, and schedule a Root Cause session on a recurring bad actor. After lunch, you refine an Equipment-Specific Maintenance Plan (ESMP) rooted in Reliability-Centered Maintenance principles, then build the ROI case for a targeted capital replacement. You close the day by aligning ATS and customer KPIs with leadership and by updating precision maintenance actions based on predictive insights.

How you’ll make an impact

• Champion a precision reliability culture while rigorously promoting and adhering to ATS safety practices.
• Ensure compliance with applicable regulations and ATS policies and procedures.
• Partner with customer teams to craft engineered solutions that elevate reliability and throughput.
• Spot capital investment opportunities for equipment replacement and clearly communicate ROI.
• Embed operating systems, critical elements, and best practices to drive precision maintenance.
• Apply precision tools and techniques confidently in daily work.
• Own RCM deliverables including development and optimization of ESMPs.
• Collaborate with maintenance on predictive, preventive, and precision strategies that identify and mitigate risk before failure and enable optimal work execution.
• Conduct and facilitate FMEA to prevent recurrence and improve design and maintenance tactics.
• Use advanced WEM knowledge to coach and train, closing gaps revealed during reliability sessions.
• Lead and teach ATS Root Cause, Bad Actor elimination, and Fault Tree Analysis.
• Align ATS and customer KPIs with site leadership to sustain results.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (ABET-accredited) or equivalent heavy industrial maintenance, reliability, or operations experience.
• At least five years in a reliability-focused role.
• Proven capability with the full suite of reliability toolsets.
• Hands-on experience executing Root Cause Analysis.
• Demonstrated success with RCM and FMEA.
• Master-level proficiency in predictive technologies.
• Vibration I Certification and Infrared I Certification.
• Strong proficiency in machine health monitoring.
• Coaching experience and practical application of Work Execution Management.
• Deep technical grasp of electrical or mechanical components, tooling, and design.
• Ability to deliver FMEA, cause-and-effect diagrams, root cause failure analysis, life-cycle costing, and risk analysis.
• Curiosity to research and apply emerging equipment technologies and trends.
• Robust problem-solving, mathematics, analytical, and decision-making strengths.
• Computer fluency including maintenance systems and Microsoft Office.
• Clear verbal communication, facilitation, and presentation abilities.
• Strong reporting and technical writing skills.
• Relationship builder with a professional, collaborative approach.
• Demonstrated leadership, including cross-functional collaboration.

Bonus points

• Desire to grow into leadership.
• Experience with data trend analysis; vibration analysis; motor current analysis; oil analysis; lubrication and hydraulic testing; laser alignment; nondestructive testing; infrared thermography; ultrasound technology; acoustic reliability technology; Weibull analysis; and Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of cGMP, NETA, EPA, and OSHA.
• Ultrasound I Certification; Maintenance Lubrication Analyst I Certification.
• CMRP/ARP/CRP/CRL credentials.
• Green Belt certification.
• STS certification.
