Reliability Engineers lead and coordinate failure investigations and root cause analysis and then implement corrective measures to prevent future occurrences. They apply value analysis to repair / replace, repair / redesign, and make / buy decisions. They work closely with other engineers and professionals to improve production methods and establish what could potentially go wrong with the product or equipment. They are responsible for developing reliability standards, policies, and procedures, and they often use software and data analysis tools to predict, identify, and correct potential issues. They may design and implement maintenance strategies, procedures, and methods, while also carrying out routine maintenance work and responding to equipment faults.
