Reliability Engineer

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
