RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING LEAD, STRATEGY & EXECUTION Vancouver, BC | On-site | Periodic customer-site travel | Full-time YOUR NEW ROLE AND TEAM Sanctuary deploys its Embodied Intelligence Platform on industrial hardware into customer facilities. As deployed cells move from launch into steady-state operation, they need a reliability and maintenance function behind them. As we build out this expansion, we need someone driven and passionate to own both the strategy and its execution. This is a strategic role for an person who has done hands-on work or led a maintenance team directly, and now wants to establish this capability with a growing start up from first principles. You will define how we keep a growing, geographically distributed fleet running, and then build the processes, tools, partners, and people to do it. Reporting to the Solutions and Customer Success Business Unit, you will work with Solutions, Deployment, Product Launch, Platform/ML Ops, and supply chain. OUR SUCCESS CRITERIA * Build and own a regional, internal & contractor-based RME team. Recruit, qualify, train, certify, and performance-manage contractors and system integrators into a coherent field service network covering hardware, and platform at air-gapped sites * Define the RME strategy and operating model , the maintenance philosophy, service tiers, SLAs, and the split between internal monitoring, regional contractors, system integrators, and customer-run teams * Develop the internal RME process library: preventive maintenance schedules, fault diagnosis and escalation paths, spares policy, and maintenance safety procedures (LOTO and equivalents) * Produce the training and documentation that enables customer RME teams to maintain our systems to standard, including certification where required * Run the in-house platform monitoring team for non-air-gapped sites, with clear escalation into platform/ML Ops * Own (not build) a fleet management tool, and drive the KPIs it surfaces , uptime/availability, MTBF, MTTR, downtime cause analysis, and spares consumption * Define and run the dashboard reporting that makes fleet health visible to leadership, and own the initiatives that move those numbers * Set the spares strategy in partnership with supply chain , critical-spares lists, regional stocking, and lead-time management against fleet need * Close reliability feedback loop, feed failure and downtime data back into solutions and mechanical engineering to drive design-for-reliability and maintainability improvements * Own the sustaining-cost model for the function , cost-per-cell maintenance accuracy and the budget for the service operation YOUR EXPERIENCE QUALIFICATIONS * Engineering degree (mechanical, electrical, mechatronics etc.), or industry experience * 5+ years in reliability or maintenance engineering for industrial automation, robotics, or capital equipment, bonus for time spent hands-on and time leading a team or function * Experience building or participating in the scaling of a maintenance/service function, processes, partners, and metrics. * Experience managing field execution through contractors, system integrators, customer RME teams or distributed service teams SKILLS * Fluent in reliability fundamentals, PM strategy, failure analysis, RCA, and the standard availability/MTBF/MTTR metric set * Able to architect maintenance and training documentation and processes to be executed * Comfortable owning a fleet management or CMMS-type tool and turning data into action * Numerate, cost-aware and can defend a sustaining operations and spares strategy * Strong cross-functional communicator across engineering, field partners, and customers TRAITS * Builds capability where none exists and is comfortable owning a domain end-to-end * Pragmatic and data-driven , prioritizes the failures that actually drive downtime * Comfortable working on a strategy and close enough to the floor to know what works * Proactively pulls reliability requirements upstream into design than solving downstream * Adaptable in a fast-paced environment where products and processes are still evolving * This role involves travel to the United States and, occasionally, other international destinations.
