Full Job Description
The Reliability Engineer is responsible for improving equipment availability, performance, and lifecycle reliability by applying structured problem-solving, data analysis, and predictive maintenance methodologies. This role focuses on identifying chronic losses, reducing unplanned downtime, and driving long-term corrective actions that improve Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and reduce Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). By applying the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology, the engineer ensures that maintenance strategies are risk-based, cost-effective, and aligned with Bosch's TPM objectives. Through technical expertise and cross-functional collaboration, the Reliability Engineer drives sustainable improvements in equipment reliability, production stability, and total cost of ownershi Qualifications FMECA and Risk Management • Develops and maintains Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for critical assets and systems. • Evaluates failure consequences and criticality to prioritize maintenance actions within the RCM framework. • Updates risk assessments based on operational learnings and ensures compliance with Bosch reliability standards. • Participates in new MAE projects to ensure FMECA is applied as standard practice in equipment design. Predictive and Preventive Maintenance Optimization • Develops and continuously improves preventive and predictive maintenance strategies based on RCM principles. • Implements predictive maintenance techniques such as vibration analysis, thermography, and oil diagnostics. • Optimizes preventive maintenance frequencies using equipment performance trends and reliability data. • Collaborates with the Maintenance System Specialist to ensure updated strategies are reflected in SAP PM. • Supports new equipment commissioning and Early Equipment Management (EEM) by validating maintainability and reliability design requirements. 20% Equipment Reliability and Performance Analysis • Monitors equipment reliability KPIs, including MTBF, MTTR, and OEE-related losses. • Reviews maintenance and production data to identify chronic failures and performance degradation. • Coordinates with Maintenance and Production teams to validate root causes and define improvement priorities. • Ensures proper use of reliability platforms (e.g., QRS) to identify bad actors and track equipment performance. 25% Root Cause and Continuous Improvement Activities • Leads structured problem-solving processes (5Why, Fishbone, Shainin, or 8D) for high-impact failures. • Facilitates cross-functional workshops to eliminate recurring issues and standardize best practices. • Drives complex corrective maintenance initiatives, ensuring implementation of sustainable corrective 25% actions. • Tracks and verifies the effectiveness of corrective actions and ensures learnings are documented and shared. Reliability Cost and Failure Impact Analysis • Analyzes cost of failures and downtime to identify technical or process-related cost drivers. • Evaluates maintenance and spare-part data to correlate failure impact and total cost of ownership (TCO). • Provides design, process, or maintenance strategy recommendations to reduce reliability-related costs. • Coordinates with the Maintenance System Specialist to ensure analytical findings are reflected in maintenance plans. 10% Documentation, Reporting, and Best Practice Sharing • Documents reliability analyses, lessons learned, and improvement actions using standardized templates. • Prepares monthly reports and dashboards for TEF3 management and global reliability networks. • Shares best practices across departments to strengthen continuous improvement culture. • Provides coaching and mentoring to supervisors and technicians to reinforce reliability principles and knowledge transfer Education Bachelor's Degree X Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering, or related field Post-Graduate Degree X Reliability Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Data Analytics, or related field Special License/Certification X Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE), Shainin Red X, or equivalent.
