Reliability Centered Maintenance Manager (RCM) - Pending Award
About The Position
The Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Manager develops and implements a comprehensive facilities maintenance strategy to maximize equipment reliability and availability. The role analyzes potential failure modes, prioritizes critical components, and applies RCM principles to design preventive and predictive maintenance tasks. The position serves as the subject matter expert for reliability engineering principles and maintenance optimization. This position is pending contract award and will be located in Moffet Field, California. Work takes place in office and field environments across an active research and operational campus, with regular field inspections and interaction with engineering personnel, maintenance technicians, construction personnel, Government representatives, and subcontractors. Occasional work may take place in industrial environments, mechanical spaces, rooftops, utility tunnels, or controlled-access areas. The role may involve responding to maintenance emergencies or providing after-hours support.
Requirements
- Training in vibration analysis and thermography, at a minimum of Level II certification.
- More than 5 years of industrial maintenance experience.
- Experience working in CMMS systems, such as MAXIMO.
- Familiarity with the RCM approach to maintenance and improvement tools such as Asset Criticality Ranking, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Root Cause Failure Analysis, PM Optimization, and PM Prioritization.
- Knowledge and understanding of the basics of precision balancing of rotating equipment, laser alignment, tribology, airborne ultrasonics, motor circuit evaluation (MCE), and motor current spectrum analysis.
- Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP).
Nice To Haves
- At least five years of applicable or relevant electrical or mechanical engineering experience.

- Develop preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies for facility systems and infrastructure.
- Analyze equipment performance, maintenance history, failure trends, and reliability data to identify improvement opportunities.
- Perform root cause analyses (RCA), failure mode and effects analyses (FMEA), and reliability assessments for recurring equipment failures.
- Develop recommendations to improve equipment reliability, maintainability, availability, and lifecycle performance.
- Coordinate maintenance optimization initiatives with Engineering, Operations, Utilities, and Facilities Maintenance personnel.
- Support the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) by validating asset data, preventive maintenance schedules, and maintenance documentation.
- Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), including preventive maintenance completion, backlog, equipment downtime, and reliability metrics.
- Develop reports, dashboards, and performance analyses for Government review.
- Recommend modifications to maintenance procedures based on reliability analysis and operational experience.
- Support planning and scheduling activities for preventive and predictive maintenance programs.
- Participate in facility inspections, condition assessments, and engineering evaluations.
- Ensure compliance with applicable NASA standards, safety requirements, environmental regulations, and contract requirements.
- Support transition activities, knowledge transfer, and continuous improvement initiatives throughout contract performance.
