Reliability Engineer

About the role

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 & Requirements

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.
