📍 Location: Rajasthan
🏢 Department: IDRS
📅 Experience Required: 7–8 Years
📚 Educational Qualification: B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or related field
📋 Reporting To: Reliability Manager / Delivery Head
🎯 Role Summary:
The Application Engineer will lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for rotating equipment with a strong focus on vibration diagnostics and process and application knowledge. This role ensures asset reliability, minimizes unplanned downtime, and drives continuous improvement through structured failure investigations and actionable insights.
🔍 Key Responsibilities:
🔧 Technical Expertise
- Conduct detailed RCA/RCFA for failures in pumps, compressors, turbines, motors, and gearboxes.
- Perform vibration analysis using tools like CSI,IU Pro 25, and Online smart devices .
- Interpret vibration spectra, time waveform, and phase analysis to identify failure modes.
- Develop and maintain equipment health monitoring protocols and predictive maintenance strategies.
📊 Data-Driven Diagnostics
- Analyze historical failure data, maintenance logs, and condition monitoring trends.
- Prepare structured RCFA reports with 5-Why, Fishbone (Ishikawa), and Fault Tree Analysis.
- Recommend corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and track implementation effectiveness.
🤝 Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Interface with maintenance, operations, OEMs, and reliability teams to validate findings.
- Lead failure review boards and facilitate knowledge sharing across plants/sites.
- Support procurement and engineering in selecting and qualifying rotating equipment vendors.
📈 Continuous Improvement & Standards
