As a Condition Based Maintenance Engineer, you will develop and implement strategies that use predictive technologies to monitor industrial equipment. The goal is to move from a reactive or scheduled maintenance model to a proactive, data‑driven approach. This role is crucial for improving equipment reliability, minimizing planned downtime, and optimizing maintenance costs. By analyzing data, you can help predict potential failures and provide actionable insights to maintenance teams before a breakdown occurs.

• Deploy and manage condition monitoring tools to assess equipment health using techniques such as vibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil analysis, ultrasonic and acoustic analysis, and electrical analysis.
• Collect and analyze data from various sensors and monitoring systems to identify trends, anomalies, and patterns that indicate potential equipment failure.
• Conduct thorough investigations into equipment failures to determine the root cause and prevent recurrence using tools and approaches including FMEA.
• Use data‑driven insights to create and refine maintenance plans in coordination with engineers in the field responsible for equipment.
• Work closely with personnel outside the CBM group such as asset owners, test operations engineers, systems engineers, and craftsmen to implement predictive technologies and promote expansion of their utilization within the industrial areas.
• Maintain a collaborative engineering environment within the AHA group and between AHA and test cells, test systems, and plant systems operations across other NAS branches.
• It is a condition of employment to wear company‑issued PPE in accordance with supervisory direction and company policy.
