Ai Reliability Engineer Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Key Responsibilities

• Lead reliability engineering and analytics teams supporting multiple sites, regions, or infrastructure programs across mission-critical facilities environments. 

• Define and standardize reliability engineering methods, including FMEA, RCA, RCM, critical assessment, defect elimination, and continuous improvement practices. 

• Establish reliability programs for electrical, mechanical, and controls systems that improve asset health, reduce repeat failures, and strengthen operational resilience. 

• Oversee deployment and effective use of monitoring, alarming, analytics, and automation tools that support predictive maintenance, asset performance visibility, and reliability decision-making. 

• Define, track, and report portfolio reliability of KPIs, trends, risks, and corrective action status to executive leadership and global operations stakeholders. 

• Ensure corrective actions from incidents, failure analyses, audits, and trend reviews are implemented, verified for effectiveness, and sustained over time. 

• Partner with site operations teams to improve maintenance programs, troubleshooting rigor, failure response, operational readiness, and procedure quality. 

• Guide reliability input into commissioning, acceptance testing, operational handover, major maintenance, retrofits, and equipment lifecycle planning. 

• Drive structured analysis of asset utilization, failure history, equipment health, remaining useful life, spare parts strategy, and end-of-life risk. 

• Partner with design, construction, and procurement teams to improve reliability, maintainability, standardization, and total cost of ownership in new and existing infrastructure. 

• Develop engineers and analysts through coaching, technical review, prioritization discipline, and data-driven problem solving. 

• Build strong operating rhythms across the team, ensuring priorities, escalation paths, portfolio visibility, and follow-through are clear and consistent. 

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 10+ years of experience in reliability engineering, maintenance engineering, critical facilities, manufacturing, utilities, industrial operations, or other uptime-critical environments; data center experience preferred, but adjacent industry experience is highly relevant. 

• 2-4+ years of experience leading engineers, analysts, or technical programs across multiple sites, business units, or complex infrastructure environments. 

• Strong background in reliability frameworks, structured root cause analysis, maintenance strategy, asset lifecycle planning, and operational risk reduction. 

• Experience working cross-functionally with operations, design, construction, commissioning, and vendor partners. 

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, OR relevant industry experience

Skills and Competencies

• Strong technical leadership and ability to influence engineering, operations, and business stakeholders. 

• Strong analytical judgment and ability to translate reliability data into practical decisions, priorities, and executive-level recommendations. 

• Deep familiarity with RCA rigor, FMEA/FMECA, reliability metrics, maintenance optimization, and continuous improvement methods. 

• Ability to connect site-level issues to portfolio-wide patterns, risks, and opportunities. 

• Clear communicator who can explain technical tradeoffs, operational risk, and recommended actions to mixed audiences. 

• Strong organizational discipline, follow-through, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment. 

Preferred Skills

• Experience in hyperscale data centers or other mission-critical environments supporting electrical distribution, mechanical cooling systems, controls/automation platforms, and integrated facility operations. 

• Experience with predictive maintenance programs, condition-based monitoring, failure trend analysis, and asset health modeling. 

• Familiarity with reliability, availability, and maintainability analysis; maintenance strategy development; spare parts optimization; and lifecycle cost evaluation. 

• Experience supporting or governing commissioning, operational acceptance, maintenance of program design, and system readiness for new or modified installations. 

• Working knowledge of monitoring and analytics platforms, CMMS/EAM systems, DCIM, EPMS/BMS data, and automation tools used to improve facility reliability. 

• Experience building KPI dashboards and reporting frameworks for senior operations or executive leadership. 

• Knowledge of reliability practices across electrical, mechanical, and controls systems, even if prior domain depth is strongest in one area. 

Preferred Credentials / Certifications

• Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) preferred. 

• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) preferred. 

• ASQ, SMRP, or equivalent reliability and quality certifications are a plus. 

• Data center or critical environment credentials such as Uptime Institute training/certifications are a plus where relevant to the role. 

• OEM, controls, analytics, or condition-monitoring training relevant to critical infrastructure reliability programs is a plus. 

• Advanced training in FMEA, RCA, Lean, Six Sigma, or structured problem-solving methodologies is a plus.
