Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will own availability and RAM models for generation campuses across power and mechanical systems. You will lead FMEA/FMECA work, curate reliability data, identify common-mode risks, and translate analysis into design requirements. You will build the reliability core of a digital twin, support commissioning and root-cause analysis, direct consultants, and communicate availability risks and results to leadership.
Requirements
- 5+ years of reliability engineering experience on power generation, process, or mission-critical facilities.
- RAM modeling experience for large redundant systems.
- FMEA/FMECA leadership experience.
- Knowledge of IEEE 493, OREDA, IEEE 3006 series, or similar failure-data sources.
- Experience allocating availability targets from commercial commitments to systems.
- Python or similar scripting capability.
- Experience influencing live design processes on major capital projects.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Reliability Engineering, or a related field.
- Ability to travel regularly to project sites and vendor facilities.
Responsibilities
- Own and maintain system-level RAM and availability models for generation campuses.
- Allocate SLA targets into subsystem availability budgets, redundancy, maintenance, and sparing strategies.
- Identify common-mode and dependent failures across fuel, cooling, controls, and site-wide systems.
- Lead FMEA/FMECA programs for major generation, storage, electrical, fuel, and cooling equipment.
- Curate failure-rate and repair data for reliability models.
- Integrate reliability analysis into design reviews, HAZOPs, and vendor evaluations.
- Define digital-twin reliability architecture and operational data requirements.
- Support commissioning, startup reliability runs, root-cause analyses, and corrective actions.
- Direct RAM and reliability consultants and grow internal reliability capability.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
- Generous PTO and US federal holidays.
- Flexible workplace.
- Parental leave.
