Reliability/Maintenance Engineer (R&D Engineer 2/3)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We have content: "What You Will Do" includes description of role, responsibilities, and also includes pay ranges for each level. So we can have About the role (maybe summarizing division and role). Responsibilities: list of duties (bulleted). Requirements: minimum job requirements (maybe bullet list). Qualifications: maybe education/experience and desired qualifications. Skills: maybe communication etc. Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: we have salary ranges for each level. Schedule: not mentioned.
We must not invent placeholder text. So include Pay section with the salary ranges. No Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. There's a note about citizenship restrictions; that's likely boilerplate but it's substantive? It's a restriction; maybe we should keep? It's a legal note; but instructions say remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That note is legal restriction; likely to be removed. Also "Physical Job Requirements" maybe considered boilerplate? It's substantive about physical demands; but maybe we keep? It's not listed as a section heading we have; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications? It's not typical. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's about physical ability. The instruction says remove legal/EEO etc. Physical demands maybe not legal; but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the responsibilities lists exactly as given, but we can format as - . Must not lose any detail.
We have a lot of text; we need to extract responsibilities for each level? The posting includes responsibilities for R&D Engineer 2 and additional for Engineer 3. We could combine responsibilities under Responsibilities section, maybe separate subheadings? But we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No subheadings. So we can put all responsibilities in a single list, but we need to preserve detail; we can include both sets.
Similarly requirements: Minimum Job Requirements (bulleted) plus Additional Job Requirements for R&D Engineer 3. We can combine.
Qualifications: Education/Experience for each level plus Desired Qualifications.
Skills: maybe communication etc.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section we have actual ranges.
Let's extract.
First, About the role: The initial paragraphs describing DP division, role as Cognizant Systems Engineer, supporting IPO, equipment owner, etc. We'll summarize but not lose detail. Must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot summarize away detail. That means we need to keep the details, not just a summary. However we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot omit details; we must keep them. But we can rephrase? Probably we should keep the original sentences, maybe split into paragraphs. So we need to include the descriptive text about DP division, mission, etc. That's substantive.
Thus About the role section will contain paragraphs (using
) that include the description from "What You Will Do This position will be filled..." up to "This is a highly visible opportunity..." etc. We'll keep that.
Responsibilities: We'll list bullet points from the responsibilities sections (both levels). We'll need to include all bullet points.
Let's extract responsibilities for R&D Engineer 2:
- Support the reliability and availability of Detonator Production (DP) programmatic equipment and systems.
- Develop, review, and implement risk-based preventive maintenance strategies that align with manufacturer recommendations, equipment criticality, performance data, and field experience.
- Evaluate preventive maintenance frequency, duration, and effectiveness in collaboration with planners, schedulers, production personnel, and maintenance teams.
- Conduct preventive maintenance audits and recommend improvements based on work-order history, failure trends, equipment condition, and operational risk.
- Identify and manage reliability risks that could adversely affect equipment operation, availability, or mission deliverables.
- Investigate equipment and system failures and support the development of corrective actions using recognized root-cause analysis methods, such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and fishbone diagrams.
- Analyze data and performance metrics-including downtime, uptime, schedule adherence, and recurring failures-to improve equipment reliability and maintenance effectiveness.
- Structure and maintain asset hierarchies within the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), ensuring equipment tags, locations, specifications, and bills of material are accurate, complete, and standardized.
- Apply engineering principles to support system configuration, equipment upgrades, maintenance method development, design reviews, and operational and maintenance readiness.
- Prepare technical specifications for equipment and services, evaluate vendor proposals, and support procurement activities through technical reviews and documentation.
- Develop system health reports that communicate equipment condition, system status, reliability risks, and availability metrics.
- Collaborate across the DP enterprise with production personnel, maintenance teams, quality assurance organizations, engineers, management, and internal and external customers to support program success.
Additional responsibilities for R&D Engineer 3:
- Serve as a technical lead for complex equipment reliability and maintenance initiatives, providing technical direction and independently resolving challenging or high-consequence issues.
- Lead the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of risk-based preventive maintenance and asset reliability strategies across multiple equipment systems or program areas.
- Lead complex equipment failure investigations and root-cause analyses, develop corrective action strategies, and evaluate their effectiveness in preventing recurrence.
- Establish performance measures, analyze equipment and maintenance trends, and provide strategic recommendations to improve system availability, lifecycle performance, and operational readiness.
- Provide technical leadership for equipment upgrades, system configuration changes, design reviews, procurements, and readiness activities.
- Develop and implement standards and best practices for asset hierarchies, CMMS data quality, reliability analysis, technical documentation, and system health reporting.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less-experienced engineers and other personnel while promoting consistent reliability and maintenance practices.
- Represent the organization on multidisciplinary teams and communicate complex technical risks, recommendations, and decisions to management, customers, and other stakeholders.
We'll combine these bullet points.

Skills: maybe communication etc already covered; but we could have a Skills section for things like technical skills: equipment reliability, preventive maintenance, root cause analysis, CMMS, asset hierarchy, technical documentation, etc. However we already have those in requirements. Might be redundant. But we need to follow instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could still create a Skills section if we have content that fits. However we risk creating a section with content that is just duplicated from requirements. Might be considered thin. Better to omit Skills section if not explicitly present. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should not create a Skills section unless there is explicit skills list. There is not. So omit Skills.
Benefits: not mentioned. Omit.
Pay: we have salary ranges for each level: R&D Engineer 2 ($106,400-$176,600) and R&D Engineer 3 ($128,000-$215,900). We'll include Pay section with those details.
Schedule: not mentioned. Omit.
