Staff Reliability Engineer
Job description
We're looking for a Staff Reliability Engineer for ICON. This role will serve as technical resource on reliability for our fleet of Vulcan and Titan print systems.
This is a high-impact individual contributor role with org-wide reach: you'll diagnose failure patterns others miss, recommend the preventive and predictive maintenance approaches the org should adopt, help shape how root cause investigations get done, and be the technical expert others turn to when the problem is hard.
You’ll be the recognized internal authority on reliability, sitting at the intersection of hardware, data, and operations and you’ll work closely with Sustaining, Field, and Product Engineering to informing how…
Job responsibilities
- Analyze fleet failure history and field data to identify gaps in the preventive maintenance program for Vulcan and Titan systems, and develop recommendations for schedules, task lists, and compliance tracking that get…
- Identify leading indicators of failure (motor current trends, pressure deviations, vibration signatures), defining condition-based monitoring strategies with the Controls and Software teams.
- Maintain fleet reliability metrics and dashboards in Contour: OEE, uptime, MTBF, MTTR, active print time, keep rates, and downtime attribution, ensuring consistent methodology and calculation logic across teams.
- Continuously evaluate the reliability data available from Vulcan and Titan systems, identifying gaps, defining requirements for new data capture, and coordinating with engineering and software teams to ensure fleet…
- Serve as a subject matter expert of ICON’s predictive maintenance methodology, suggesting framework iterations to the organization and working with the Director of Engineering Services to implement uses & act on them.
- Perform root cause analysis, develop methodology and templates used across the org; lead or oversee RCAs for significant failures; and ensure findings feed back into PM programs and design teams.
- Lead regular reliability reviews with Sustaining and Product Engineering, presenting fleet trends, RCA findings, and improvement priorities to engineering leadership and driving cross-team alignment on what gets fixed…
- Develop and maintain test protocols for ECO and upgrade acceptance, defining the criteria and procedures the fleet relies on to validate changes before deployment.
Job requirements
- 10+ years of experience in Reliability, Manufacturing, or Quality Engineering, including a track record of defining programs or standards adopted across an organization.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field; equivalent experience considered.
- Hands-on experience with complex automated manufacturing or industrial-scale machinery, including sensor systems and associated data.
- Proven experience designing PM and FMEA programs on complex automated equipment that other teams have adopted as standard practice.
- Experience with data pipelining and analytics; able to build reporting systems that drive decisions across teams.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and set technical direction across functions.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills. This role will lead writing the SOPs field teams rely on and present to engineering leadership regularly.
