Soft Bank Robotics America (SBRA) is seeking a highly organized and technically capable
Maintenance Planner
to support the planning, scheduling, and coordination of preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance activities across our equipment, automated systems, and operational assets.

The Maintenance Planner will serve as a key connection between maintenance, operations, engineering, procurement, vendors, and field teams ensuring maintenance work is properly scoped, prioritized, resourced, documented, and ready for execution. This role will help improve asset reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and establish scalable maintenance practices as SBRA's operations and technology footprint continue to grow.

The ideal candidate combines strong maintenance planning fundamentals with technical aptitude, data-driven decision-making, and the ability to bring structure to a dynamic and evolving environment.

• Plan and schedule preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance activities based on asset criticality, operational priorities, equipment condition, and manufacturer recommendations.
• Develop execution-ready work plans that clearly define scope, procedures, labor requirements, estimated hours, parts, materials, tools, technical documentation, and applicable safety requirements.
• Review incoming work requests, determine planning requirements, and prioritize activities based on safety, asset criticality, operational impact, and resource availability.
• Maintain short- and long-term maintenance schedules and coordinate planned downtime with operations and field teams.
• Manage maintenance backlog and identify scheduling conflicts, resource constraints, material shortages, and other risks that could impact execution.
• Track scheduled work through completion and adjust plans based on operational priorities and equipment needs.

• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve preventive and predictive maintenance programs for existing and newly deployed equipment.
• Review telematics and equipment data, maintenance history, downtime, recurring failures, technician feedback, and maintenance trends to identify maintenance needs, prioritize work, and support asset reliability and availability.
• Partner with engineering, operations, and technical teams to establish maintenance strategies, intervals, procedures, and asset criticality.
• Support asset availability and operational readiness objectives through effective maintenance planning, scheduling and resource coordination.
• Help transition maintenance activities from reactive to increasingly proactive and condition-based practices where appropriate.

• Maintain accurate asset records, work orders, preventive maintenance schedules, maintenance history, and supporting documentation within the CMMS/EAM or related systems.
• Ensure work orders contain accurate scope, labor, material, scheduling, asset, and completion information.
• Monitor and report maintenance performance metrics such as PM compliance, schedule adherence, backlog, equipment downtime, recurring failures, work-order completion, MTBF, and MTTR where applicable.
• Maintain maintenance trackers, reports, dashboards, and planning documentation that provide clear visibility into maintenance performance and upcoming work.
• Support data integrity, standardization, and continuous improvement of maintenance and asset records.

• Identify required spare parts, materials, tools, equipment, and external services before maintenance work is scheduled.
• Coordinate with inventory, logistics, and vendors to ensure materials are available and staged for planned work.
• Support development and maintenance of equipment Bills of…
