• Collaborate with a diverse team of Engineers, Data Scientists, SMEs and Collaborators to create and integrate prognostics solutions into systems
• Analyze and interpret data from sensors, diagnostics, and maintenance records to identify failure modes, trends, and anomalies
• Create algorithms to detect fault conditions and figure out remaining useful life (RUL) of the system based on sensor data, failure modes, and degradation models
• Determine the optimal type, number, and location of sensors for the system based on the prognostic objectives, performance criteria, and constraints
• Create clear, concise, and verifiable engineering requirement documents and engineering plans to achieve project goals

WHO YOU ARE: You design processes and procedures that allow managing from a distance. You evaluate pros and cons, risks and benefits of different solution options. You provide timely and effective information to individuals across the organization. You push yourself and help others achieve results. You establish clear responsibilities and processes for monitoring work and measuring results.
