Reliability Engineer, Facilities & Infrastructure

About the role

As a Reliability Engineer at Impulse Space, you will partner with Maintenance, Facilities Engineering, and Production Departments to develop and implement a site-wide reliability program focused on maximizing the uptime, availability, and lifecycle of critical infrastructure and equipment.
You will own the development and continuous improvement of our CMMS, preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, asset criticality framework, and reliability metrics. The systems and processes you develop will be designed to scale with rapid production growth, equipment changes, and expansion across multiple sites.

Develop and own a site-wide reliability and asset management program forcritical facilities infrastructure and equipment
Partner with Maintenance, Production, and Engineering to develop robust preventive and predictive maintenance strategies that can be standardized and deployed across multiple sites
Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of the site CMMS, including asset hierarchy, equipment records, PM programs, work orders, spare parts, and maintenance history
Develop maintenance strategies that can adapt to equipment relocations, retrofits, new installations, and evolving production requirements
Define reliability and maintainability requirements for new equipment and infrastructure installations, including maintenance access, monitoring, redundancy, and critical spares
Establish asset criticality assessments and maintenance priorities based on operational impact, safety, cost, and failure consequences
Support deployment of predictive maintenance and condition-monitoring systems using BMS and other equipment monitoring systems
Monitor equipment data, alarms, trends, and performance indicators; establish appropriate alarm thresholds and escalate developing issues to Maintenance and Engineering leadership.
Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and other reliability analyses to identify and mitigate repetitive or high-consequence failuresIdentify opportunities to improve equipment reliability, maintainability, and lifecycle cost through engineering modifications and maintenance strategy changes.
Track and report key maintenance and reliability metrics, including equipment uptime, PM compliance, corrective vs. preventive maintenance, open work orders, mean time between failures (MTBF), and mean time to repair (MTTR)
Develop reliability standards, procedures, and best practices that can be replicated across Impulse Space facilities
