Key Responsibilities

• Lead reliability engineering initiatives supporting downhole tools, drilling technologies, and operational equipment.

• Develop and implement reliability models, test plans, specifications, and validation strategies for products and systems.

• Support design risk management activities, including FMEA/FMECA, reliability assessments, and failure investigations.

• Analyze operational and performance data to identify reliability trends and recommend corrective actions or design improvements.

• Develop methodologies for reliability analysis, reporting, and performance monitoring.

• Support root cause analysis and troubleshooting efforts for field and operational reliability issues.

• Develop and support Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) programs and implementation plans.

• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to improve product reliability and service quality.

• Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on equipment performance, lifecycle optimization, and operational efficiency.

• Develop and deliver reliability training programs, technical guidance, and best practices across the organization.

• Contribute to reliability standards, processes, and engineering governance activities.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical discipline.

• 7+ years of experience in reliability engineering, product performance, maintenance engineering, or related technical fields.

• Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles, risk analysis, and failure analysis methodologies.

• Experience with reliability modeling, testing, maintenance strategies, or lifecycle analysis.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering and operational teams.

Preferred

• Experience supporting oil & gas, drilling tools, downhole equipment, or industrial systems.

• Familiarity with reliability tools and methodologies such as FMEA/FMECA, Weibull analysis, RCM, or fault tree analysis.

• Experience with field failure investigations and operational data analysis.

• Knowledge of reliability-focused maintenance and asset management practices.

• Professional certifications related to reliability engineering or maintenance engineering are a plus.

Candidates who possess qualifications exceeding the minimum job requirements may be considered for higher-level positions based on experience, additional qualifications, and current business needs.
