Manufacturing Reliability Engineer

About this role

ATS seeks a Manufacturing Reliability Engineer to optimize factory operations through predictive maintenance strategies, equipment analysis, and cross-functional collaboration. This role combines technical expertise in reliability-centered maintenance with leadership responsibilities, requiring mastery of diagnostic tools and commitment to continuous improvement.

What you'll do

• Develop and implement reliability-centered maintenance strategies, including equipment-specific maintenance plans (ESMP) and failure mode analysis
• Lead root cause analysis, bad actor analysis, and fault tree analysis to identify and mitigate equipment failures
• Apply predictive technologies including vibration analysis, infrared thermography, and machine health monitoring to prevent breakdowns
• Collaborate with maintenance teams and customers to engineer solutions that improve operational reliability and throughput
• Identify capital expenditure opportunities for equipment replacement and develop ROI justifications
• Train and mentor team members on work execution management, precision maintenance practices, and reliability tools

What they're looking for

• Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) and FMEA
• Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and failure investigation
• Vibration and infrared thermography analysis (certified)
• Predictive and preventative maintenance technologies
• Work Execution Management (WEM) coaching
• Technical writing and data analysis
• Electrical and mechanical systems knowledge
• Leadership and cross-functional team collaboration

Benefits

• Opportunity to develop into a leadership role
• Work with industry-leading reliability methodology and tools
• Competitive compensation aligned with experience level
• Multi-country company presence offering potential career growth
• Focus on safety culture and professional development

Likely interview questions

• Describe your experience performing RCA and FMEA—what was a complex failure you investigated and how did you prevent recurrence?
• How have you used vibration analysis or infrared thermography to identify equipment issues before failure?
