Job Summary
As a Reliability Engineer at Impulse Space you will partner with Maintenance Facilities Engineering and Production Departments to develop and implement a site-wide reliability program focused on maximizing the uptime availability and lifecycle of critical infrastructure and equipment.
You will own the development and continuous improvement of our CMMS preventive and predictive maintenance strategies asset criticality framework and reliability metrics. The systems and processes you develop will be designed to scale with rapid production growth equipment changes and expansion across multiple sites.
Responsibilities
- Develop and own a site-wide reliability and asset management program forcritical facilities infrastructure and equipment
- Partner with Maintenance Production and Engineering to develop robust preventive and predictive maintenance strategies that can be standardized and deployed across multiple sites
- Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of the site CMMS including asset hierarchy equipment records PM programs work orders spare parts and maintenance history
- Develop maintenance strategies that can adapt to equipment relocations retrofits new installations and evolving production requirements
- Define reliability and maintainability requirements for new equipment and infrastructure installations including maintenance access monitoring redundancy and critical spares
- Establish asset criticality assessments and maintenance priorities based on operational impact safety cost and failure consequences
- Support deployment of predictive maintenance and condition-monitoring systems using BMS and other equipment monitoring systems
- Monitor equipment data alarms trends and performance indicators; establish appropriate alarm thresholds and escalate developing issues to Maintenance and Engineering leadership.
