How much do industrial reliability engineer jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 8, 2026, the average hourly pay for industrial reliability engineer in the United States is $63.74, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $54.81 and $72.84 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Industrial Reliability Engineer vs Maintenance Engineer?

AspectIndustrial Reliability EngineerMaintenance Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in engineering, certifications like CRC or CREBachelor's in engineering or technical field, certifications vary
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, industrial facilitiesFactories, equipment maintenance sites
Primary FocusReliability, failure analysis, preventive strategiesEquipment repair, troubleshooting, maintenance tasks
Industry UsageCommon in manufacturing, energy, petrochemicalWidespread across manufacturing, facilities management

While both roles work to ensure equipment efficiency, Industrial Reliability Engineers focus on analyzing and improving system reliability through data and strategies, whereas Maintenance Engineers handle the day-to-day repair and upkeep of machinery.

What are some typical challenges an industrial reliability engineer faces when working to improve equipment performance?

Industrial Reliability Engineers often encounter challenges such as identifying root causes of recurring equipment failures, balancing short-term production demands with long-term reliability improvements, and gaining buy-in from cross-functional teams for preventive maintenance initiatives. They must frequently analyze large sets of operational data to detect failure patterns and prioritize improvements based on risk and cost impact. Collaborating closely with maintenance, operations, and engineering teams is essential to implement effective solutions and foster a culture of reliability within the organization.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an industrial reliability engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Industrial Reliability Engineer, you need a background in engineering (typically a bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering), strong analytical skills, and expertise in asset management and failure analysis. Familiarity with reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), predictive maintenance tools like vibration analysis, and software such as CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems) is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication help you collaborate with cross-functional teams and drive continuous improvement. These skills are critical for minimizing downtime, optimizing equipment performance, and ensuring overall operational efficiency in industrial settings.

What is an industrial reliability engineer?

An Industrial Reliability Engineer is a professional responsible for ensuring that equipment, machinery, and processes in industrial settings operate reliably and efficiently. They use analytical tools and techniques to identify potential failures, reduce downtime, and improve the overall safety and productivity of manufacturing or production operations. Their work often involves preventive maintenance planning, root cause analysis, and implementing reliability improvement strategies to minimize unplanned outages and maintenance costs.

Job description

Reliability Engineer - (Pivotal Systems)

Position Summary

The Reliability Engineer is responsible for developing and executing reliability programs for semiconductor process control products and components. This role works closely with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to improve product reliability, identify failure mechanisms, and drive corrective and preventive actions throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and execute reliability test plans for new and existing products (includes supplier parts like PCBA, Pressure Transducers, Piezo and system level reliability).
  • Analyze product failures and determine root causes using structured methodologies.
  • Perform reliability modeling and statistical analysis to predict product life and performance.
  • Lead or support Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), reliability growth testing, and qualification activities.
  • Develop accelerated life testing (ALT) and environmental stress screening procedures.
  • Monitor field performance data and identify reliability improvement opportunities.
  • Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and supplier teams to resolve quality and reliability issues.
  • Support supplier qualification and incoming material reliability assessments.
  • Generate reliability reports, metrics, and recommendations for management and engineering teams.
  • Participate in change control reviews and assess the impact of design or process changes on reliability.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable quality standards and industry requirements.
  • Ensure design for reliability (DFx) inputs are provided during the product development phases, taking inputs from field failures, historical information, DFMEA, customer requirements.
  • Ensure customer targets / requirements for product reliability and testing are met, along with applicable industry standard requirements like SEMI.
  • Ensures necessary resources including personnel, test equipment, facility related are highlighted during product development phase.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3-7+ years of experience in reliability engineering, quality engineering, or product engineering.
  • Experience with reliability testing and failure analysis.
  • Knowledge of statistical tools such as Minitab, JMP, or equivalent.
  • Familiarity with reliability methodologies including:
    • FMEA
    • Root Cause Analysis (5 Whys, Fishbone)
    • Weibull Analysis
    • Reliability Growth Analysis
    • Design of Experiments (DOE)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • ASQ certified Reliability Engineer

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in semiconductor equipment, electronics, or precision manufacturing.
  • Knowledge of ISO 9001 quality systems.
  • Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification.
  • Experience with supplier quality and qualification processes.
