Sr. Reliability Engineer

This Sr. Reliability Engineer supports the reliability, availability, and operational performance of data center cooling systems from commissioning through field operation. The role combines customer-facing reliability support, RCM, predictive maintenance (PdM), operational-data analytics, and system reliability modeling to reduce risk and improve uptime.

DUTIES INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

• Partner with customers, Service, Commissioning, Engineering, Controls, and Quality to address reliability concerns, field issues, and operational needs.
• Lead RCM and PdM activities, including asset criticality, failure-mode evaluation, FRACAS, root-cause analysis, and preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies.
• Analyze operational, alarm, maintenance, commissioning, warranty, and field data to identify degradation, recurring failures, and emerging reliability risks.
• Collect and utilize physics-based data from the Digital Twin, including what-if operating scenarios, to assess system health and support reliability analysis and PdM decisions.
• Utilize Weibull and BlockSim to simulate equipment and system reliability, availability, MTBF, MTTR, downtime, failure behavior, and N+X redundancy/failover performance.
• Evaluate system redundancy and N+X configurations, including single-point failures, failover behavior, backup capacity, recovery performance, and overall system availability.
• Develop Power BI reliability dashboards and track key metrics including availability, downtime, MTBF, MTTR, repeat failures, alarms, and asset health.
• Perform alarm rationalization and alarm analytics, linking alarms to failure modes, consequences, response priorities, and diagnostics.
• Translate customer, field, and reliability insights into actionable recommendations for maintenance, diagnostics, commissioning, service procedures, controls, and product design.
