Senior Reliability Engineer

Location:

The science of electronics is transforming exponentially through innovation and connectivity around the planet. Every day, breakthroughs are making technologies – from micro-processors, memory chips and flat panels to photovoltaic cells – even smaller and more powerful, opening up countless new possibilities in how the world lives, works and connects. Air Liquide Advanced Materials grows by enabling our customers to innovate. Our ALOHA™ and Voltaix® products are critical to the manufacturer of the newest computer chips required for Big Data and the Internet of Things.

The Project Reliability Engineer works with all functions in the business, notably Engineering, Operations, Product Management and R&D (Chemistry Technology Development and Process Development), and is responsible for:

• Facilitate and guide Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) sessions for new capital projects and existing high-criticality systems.

• Evaluate equipment design & layouts during the design phase for accessibility and maintainability and provide recommended design changes for identified improvements.

• Provide technical guidance to project teams in the identification of potential reliability concerns and design changes to improve all process reliability.

• Complete critical spare needs evaluations for new capital projects. Assist in quoting, procurement and tracking of critical spares.

• Develop initial inspection, testing and maintenance plans, including frequencies and required tasks, for all assets in new capital projects.

• Compile critical asset data for new projects and format for entry in CMMS (Computerized Maintenance System).

• Develop Process Capacity Mapping and initial project acceptance criteria for all new projects.

• Investigate and analyze plant equipment failures by collecting failure causes, process data and equipment information. Develop and recommend solutions in design, maintenance procedures or equipment selections.

• Guide Root Cause Analysis into critical equipment failures. Use data-driven methods to identify systemic issues, implement permanent corrective actions to prevent recurrence and leverage the lessons learned to similar equipment globally.

• Develop approaches for projecting asset lifecycle costs beginning in the design stages through asset end of life.

• Use KPI (e.g. Equipment Availability (uptime), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)), historical data and industry standards to inform and guide decisions on equipment selection.

• Provide supportive guidance to junior engineers and maintenance technicians. Act as a subject matter expert (SME) for equipment selection to ensure reliability. Support Plant Operations & Maintenance functions by providing technical guidance on equipment operation and maintenance procedures as priorities and opportunities allow.

• Position will be required to provide remote support to all ALAM projects globally which will require guiding and participating in technical discussions outside of normal business hours.

• Infrequent travel to international locations may be required.
