About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own fleet reliability engineering: define availability targets, measure them honestly, and close the gap.
Run root cause analysis on the fleet's worst incidents and drive corrective actions to done across every site.
Build the failure data pipeline, facility and hardware both, that turns incident history into engineering priorities.
Set the maintenance strategy (reliability-centered, condition-based) so the fleet spends effort where the failure data says to.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've owned reliability for critical infrastructure and moved the availability number, not just reported it.
You've led root cause analyses that found the real cause, not the convenient one.
You work fluently with failure data: Weibull, Pareto, and FMEA are tools you actually use, not terms you know.
You get corrective actions closed across teams you don't manage.
Bonus: Data center or power generation reliability. Liquid cooling systems. CMMS analytics. CRE or CMRP certification.
