Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/reliability-engineer

A Reliability Engineer analyzes equipment and system performance to minimize failures and downtime, using root cause analysis and failure mode analysis (FMEA) to identify weaknesses before they cause outages. Working in manufacturing, energy, or industrial maintenance settings, they design predictive maintenance and reliability-centered maintenance programs backed by statistical analysis. This role suits an engineer with strong analytical skills who works closely with maintenance and operations teams to improve asset uptime.
