About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own assigned manufacturing and test equipment through specification, selection, design review, FAT/SAT, installation, commissioning, qualification, release, maintenance, modification, and retirement
Execute or support URS/FRS, risk assessments, engineering drawings, maintenance strategies, spare-parts plans, calibration requirements, work instructions, change records, and validation protocols/reports
Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, robotic, controls, software-interface, and computer-related equipment failures while protecting personnel, product, data integrity, and the validated state
Monitor equipment Availability and uptime; analyze downtime events, MTBF, MTTR, work-order history, repeat failures, and response effectiveness; implement corrective and preventive actions
Analyze equipment Performance losses such as slow cycles, micro-stops, jams, intermittent faults, and reduced operating rate
Analyze equipment Quality losses, including equipment-related defects, rework, false failures, measurement-system issues, and calibration drift
Use structured problem solving such as 5 Whys, fault-tree analysis, fishbone, FMEA, and data trending to eliminate repeat failures and verify effectiveness
Create accurate CMMS work orders and asset records; use maintenance history to optimize PM tasks, frequencies, spare parts, and equipment readiness
Coordinate suppliers and technicians, support audits and inspections, and train users on safe and compliant equipment operation
