Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • 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.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • 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.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
