Oracle is a leading company in AI and cloud solutions, seeking a Senior Manager – Reliability Engineering to enhance the performance of mission-critical facilities infrastructure across OCI’s data center portfolio. The role involves leading teams to implement reliability engineering practices, improve maintenance strategies, and ensure operational resilience through analytics and predictive maintenance.
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
Requirements:
- 5–7+ 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
- 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
- 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
