A Senior Reliability Engineer (SR) is a technical expert responsible for leading initiatives to improve the reliability and uptime of systems and equipment within a company, often by analyzing failure trends, implementing preventive maintenance strategies, conducting root cause analysis, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to proactively identify and mitigate potential issues, ensuring smooth operations and minimizing production downtime; they typically have extensive experience in reliability engineering practices and act as a subject matter expert within their organization. Key responsibilities of a Senior Reliability Engineer:

• Failure Analysis and Root Cause Investigation: Analyze equipment failures to identify root causes, develop corrective actions, and implement preventive measures to prevent future occurrences.
• Reliability Improvement Plans: Design and execute reliability improvement projects, including developing maintenance strategies, optimizing preventive maintenance tasks, and implementing reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) practices.
• Data Analysis and Reporting: Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to equipment reliability, generate reports on failure trends, and utilize data to identify areas for improvement.
• Condition Monitoring: Utilize condition monitoring techniques like vibration analysis, infrared thermography, and oil analysis to detect potential failures before they occur.
• Design Review and Feedback: Collaborate with engineering teams during design phases to incorporate reliability considerations and identify potential failure modes through FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis).
• Technical Expertise: Provide technical guidance on reliability best practices, troubleshooting complex equipment issues, and selecting appropriate repair or replacement parts.
• Team Leadership: Mentor junior reliability engineers, lead cross-functional teams on reliability improvement projects, and facilitate knowledge sharing within the organization.
• Project Management: Manage reliability-related projects, including budget planning, resource allocation, and project timelines.
