Reliability Engineer AT Process Technologies Waltham, MA Job Details Full-time $100,000 - $180,000 a year 1 hour ago Qualifications Industrial automation Failure mode analysis in electrical engineering Reliability analysis Industrial equipment troubleshooting Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) Electrical control system maintenance Hardware diagnostics Mechanical knowledge Failure analysis Full Job Description AT Process Technologies (ATP) is a pioneering manufacturing company focused on the development and deployment of modular energetics production plants. Using breakthrough chemistry and automation that operates continuously and generates little to no waste, ATP is expanding energetics production to meet the munitions demands of the US and Allies safely, rapidly, and cost effectively. Summary ATP is building a core team of engineers to develop the autonomous skidded production systems that will redefine how energetics are manufactured. As our Reliability Engineer, you will own uptime and reliability of our automated production systems - analyzing failure data, hardening controls and automation architectures, and driving the maintenance and monitoring strategies that keep autonomous plants running continuously with minimal human intervention. The ideal candidate has previously owned reliability or uptime performance on an automated industrial system end-to-end and thinks in terms of failure modes, MTBF, and preventive maintenance. Key Responsibilities Own reliability and uptime performance for ATP's autonomous, continuously operating production systems Analyze failure data, downtime logs, and maintenance records to identify recurring failure modes across controls, mechanical, and automation subsystems Lead FMEA, root cause analysis, and corrective/preventive action efforts for reliability-impacting failures Define and track reliability metrics (MTBF, MTTR, availability) across production systems and drive improvement plans Work with Controls and Automation engineers to harden
