Manufacturing Engineering Specialist

The Maintenance, Reliability & Systems Engineer is responsible for developing and implementing reliability-centered maintenance strategies while designing, integrating, and optimizing the manufacturing systems and infrastructure that support equipment performance. This role bridges the gap between traditional reliability engineering and industrial systems engineering—owning both the strategic maintenance framework and the technical systems architecture that enables data-driven asset management. The engineer partners closely with maintenance technicians, manufacturing engineering, production teams, and IT/OT stakeholders to drive continuous improvement in equipment reliability and system performance.

• Develop and implement reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) programs for critical manufacturing equipment
• Conduct root cause failure analysis (RCFA) on recurring equipment failures and implement corrective actions
• Perform failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to identify and mitigate potential failure risks
• Analyze equipment performance data (MTBF, MTTR, OEE) to identify trends and improvement opportunities
• Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for equipment reliability and maintenance effectiveness
• Design, implement, and maintain integrated manufacturing systems including PLC/HMI, SCADA, and machine controls
• Architect and optimize data acquisition systems that connect equipment sensors, controllers, and analytics platforms
• Develop and manage the CMMS (MaintainX) environment including system configuration, workflow automation, API integrations, and reporting architecture
• Lead IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) initiatives to enable real-time equipment monitoring and condition-based alerting
• Integrate maintenance and production systems (CMMS, MES, ERP) to ensure seamless data flow and operational visibility
• Evaluate, select, and deploy new technologies and platforms that advance maintenance and reliability capabilities
• Manage industrial network infrastructure supporting equipment communication and data collection

• Design and optimize preventive maintenance (PM) schedules based on equipment criticality and failure data
• Implement and manage predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies (vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, ultrasound)
• Develop condition-based monitoring strategies leveraging sensor data and analytics to transition from reactive to proactive maintenance
• Build automated alerting and escalation systems based on real-time equipment health data
• Continuously refine PM task lists, frequencies, and procedures based on reliability data and system feedback

• Partner with maintenance supervisors and technicians to improve work order planning and execution
• Develop dashboards, reports, and analytics tools to provide actionable insights on asset health and maintenance performance
• Develop and maintain equipment Bill of Materials (BOM) and critical spare parts inventory strategies
• Support capital project planning for…
