Reliability Engineer, Maintenance Center of Excellence - Remote, Connecticut

Improve equipment reliability and maintenance strategies across RTX aerospace manufacturing sites. Apply root cause analysis, FMEA, CMMS/EAM analytics, and predictive maintenance practices.

Description

  • Collaborate with manufacturing sites, maintenance teams, engineering groups, suppliers, and technical specialists to strengthen equipment reliability and maintenance performance.
  • Apply reliability engineering methods and maintenance best practices to reduce repeat failures and establish preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies.
  • Analyze equipment performance and maintenance records to identify underperforming assets, recurring failures, and improvement opportunities.
  • Prioritize reliability improvements using downtime, MTBF, MTTR, repeat-failure, preventive-maintenance, and maintenance-history metrics.
  • Lead or facilitate root cause analyses for significant or recurring equipment failures and support corrective-action development.
  • Use FMEA, equipment criticality, and reliability-centered maintenance principles to assess equipment risks and maintenance needs.
  • Assess preventive maintenance programs and improve their task content, intervals, and effectiveness.
  • Support maintenance planning, scheduling, backlog control, work-order quality, job plans, and failure coding in SAP or other CMMS/EAM platforms.
  • Improve the quality of maintenance and reliability data while supporting common standards across manufacturing locations.
  • Join site maintenance assessments to identify process gaps and opportunities for improvement.
  • Support predictive maintenance and asset-health programs using vibration analysis, thermography, ultrasound, and oil analysis.
  • Work with OEE and Industrial Engineering teams to convert equipment availability losses into maintenance and reliability improvements.
  • Provide reliability and maintenance guidance for new or modified equipment and contribute to design and maintainability reviews.
  • Coordinate with OEM technical and service teams on troubleshooting, repairs, failure analysis, and reliability improvements.
  • Assess OEM and third-party maintenance providers and record lessons learned for use across sites.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or another relevant technical engineering discipline plus at least 5 years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, equipment engineering, industrial maintenance, equipment reliability, or a related field; alternatively, a master's degree in engineering plus at least 3 years of relevant experience.
  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Professional experience with industrial or manufacturing equipment and equipment troubleshooting.
  • Experience participating in or facilitating root cause analysis and structured problem solving.
  • Experience analyzing equipment and maintenance data to identify trends and recurring issues.
  • Working knowledge of equipment reliability and maintenance work management, including work orders, preventive maintenance, planning, scheduling, and backlog management.
  • Experience using a CMMS or EAM system.
  • Ability to travel up to 50%.
  • Familiarity with FMEA, RCM, asset criticality, or preventive-maintenance optimization.
  • Experience with SAP PM/EAM.
  • Exposure to predictive or condition-based maintenance technologies.
  • Reliability or maintenance training or certification, or interest in pursuing credentials such as CMRP or predictive-maintenance certifications.
