About the job

General Atomics (GA), and its affiliated companies, is one of the world’s leading resources for high-technology systems development ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely piloted aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies. The Reliability Engineer is responsible for developing, implementing, and sustaining a Predictive Maintenance (PdM) and asset reliability program across a multi-site facilities organization. This role will lead the transition from reactive and time-based maintenance to a data-driven, condition-based reliability model that improves asset uptime, reduces lifecycle costs, and mitigates operational risk. The position works closely with Facilities Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, IT, and Finance to ensure reliability principles are embedded into daily operations, capital planning, and long-term asset strategies. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Design and implement a comprehensive Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program for critical facilities assets including production equipment, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, utilities, and infrastructure systems. Identify critical assets using risk-based methodologies such as asset criticality ranking, FMEA, and reliability assessments. Define PdM technologies, monitoring strategies, alarm thresholds, and response workflows. Analyze CMMS data to identify trends, failure modes, and improvement opportunities. Develop and track reliability KPIs including MTBF, MTTR, PM/PdM compliance, and reactive vs proactive maintenance ratios. Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for recurring failures and recommend corrective actions. Partner with Engineering and Construction teams to incorporate reliability principles into new construction and renovations. Support capital planning by identifying reliability-driven upgrades and lifecycle optimization opportunities. Establish PdM standards, procedures, documentation, and training materials. Train and support maintenance teams on PdM tools, data interpretation, and reliability best practices. Prepare reports and presentations summarizing program performance, cost avoidance, and ROI for leadership. We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
