We area global biotechnology leader, motivated by that same promise to save and improve lives. We offer the broadestrange of qualityplasma-derived and recombinant therapies in our industry. We discover, develop and deliver innovative therapies for people living with conditions in the immunology, hematology, cardiovascular and metabolic, respiratory, and transplant therapeutic areas. We use three strategic scientific platforms of plasma fractionation, recombinant protein technology, and cell and gene therapy to support continued innovation and continually refine ways in which products can address unmet medical needs and help patients lead full lives. We are looking for a Reliability Engineer.

The Reliability Engineer is responsible for the equipment reliability and maintenance strategy of utility and manufacturing equipment through continuous monitoring of equipment operational performance and implementing actions needed for improvement (Reliability-Centered Maintenance).

Develops engineering solutions to repetitive failures and all other problems that adversely affect plant operations by applying data analysis techniques (statistical process control, reliability modeling and prediction, fault tree analysis, Six Sigma (6σ) methodology, etc.), root cause analysis (RCA), root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system (FRACAS).

Responsibilities:

Serves as the technical lead and supports the improvement of equipment in the plant.
Develop, implement and maintain equipment maintenance strategy and plans for plant equipment.
Perform continuous improvement of maintenance PM’s, BOM’s and Spare Parts in support of compliance with applicable regulations
Recommend and implement measures through global initiatives to improve equipment that support utility and manufacturing operations in a dynamic, fast-paced cGMP, biotechnology environment.
Provide engineering field support to identify, address and resolve operational / compliance issues and to ensure equipment is maintained at a level required to provide high reliability maximizing useful life.
Collaborate with Engineering in the equipment classification process, defining SAP Location hierarchy, populating asset information, developing Return-to-Service PM instructions and acquisition of equipment manuals.

Conduct analysis of system maintenance process and perform reliability studies:

Use of reliability tools and processes such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Uses data to recommend improvements based on CMMS, FMEA, RCA and systems reliability data
Analyze equipment trends ensuring the maintenance program is effective

Management of CMMS data integrity and execution of Reliability Centered Maintenance Improvements:

Ensure that the Preventative / Predictive Programs and Maintenance Planning Processes are executed
Evaluate new technologies (predictive tools) to be used by technicians and engineers
Accountable to effectively apply PdM technologies and non-destructing testing to minimize unscheduled/scheduled maintenance downtime

Monitor KPI’s:

Measure and report reliability performance
Demonstrate success of preventative maintenance improvements through performance reports, dashboards and metrics

Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Internal and Regulatory Agency audits.

Demonstrate continuous improvement with respect to increasing job knowledge and proficiency related to biopharmaceutical industry engineering best practices and technologies, as well as technical understanding/problem solving capability.
Complies with requirements from our Safety Program, including Health and Safety mandates and OSHA requirements.
Completes any other duties/responsibilities assigned by senior management.

Qualifications:

B.S. degree in an Engineering related field
Experience in Vibration Analysis, Ultrasound Scanning, Infrared Scanning, Oil Analysis, Eddy Current, Liquid Penetrating testing, Dynamic/Static Motor Current testing,

FPC of Atlanta jobs
