Frequently Asked Questions
What does a reliability engineer do?
A reliability engineer designs the strategy that keeps industrial assets available at the lowest life-cycle cost. They apply RCM and FMEA to map failure modes, run Weibull and root-cause analysis to predict and eliminate failures, set criticality-ranked asset strategies under ISO 55000, and quantify results in availability, MTBF, and dollars — engineering failures out rather than just repairing them.
What’s the difference between a reliability engineer and a maintenance engineer?
A maintenance engineer manages day-to-day PM execution, CMMS work orders, and repair strategy to keep equipment running now. A reliability engineer takes the long view — using RCM, FMEA, and life-data analysis to engineer chronic failures out of assets over their life cycle. The roles overlap heavily and many contractors hold a CMRP and do both.
How much do reliability engineer contractors charge?
Rates for contract reliability engineers vary with experience, specialization and the scope of the work. On Automate America every contract shows its rate before anyone applies, and professionals apply at that rate; each professional's rate is on their profile, so you can compare before you request or hire.
What certifications do reliability engineers need?
The most respected credentials are CMRP (SMRP) and ASQ Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE), plus the Certified Reliability Leader (CRL) and ISO 18436 vibration-analyst certification. These validate RCM, life-data analysis, and asset-management expertise and are among the most-requested for senior reliability roles.
What software do reliability engineers use?
Common tools include ReliaSoft (Weibull++, BlockSim) and Isograph Reliability Workbench for reliability modeling, Meridium or GE APM for asset performance management, Minitab for life-data analysis, and CMMS/EAM platforms like SAP PM and IBM Maximo for asset and work-order data.
