Reliability Engineer-IIoT & Connected Assets

Reliability Engineer-IIoT & Connected Assets (requisition 210161) at Halliburton in Houston, Texas, based at 3000 N. Sam Houston Parkway E., Houston, TX 77032. This is a full-time, on-site experienced-hire role in the Maintenance product service line. Halliburton is scaling its IIoT and connected-maintenance product into new product lines and expansion projects, and is hiring a reliability engineer to lead that technical growth. The role is built around understanding why equipment fails—mechanically and electronically—and translating that understanding into the right technology to measure, detect and prevent those failures. You will move between desk, bench and field: reading mechanical, electrical/electronic, hydraulic and P&I drawings and OEM manuals; leading and reviewing FMEA/FMECA and root-cause analysis; researching and selecting sensors and instrumentation (vibration, oil quality/condition, temperature, pressure, flow, electrical signature, acoustic and equipment-bus data); writing technical specifications; and relating readings to diagnosis, prognosis and health-scoring logic. You own the technical discovery-to-pilot loop: specify, source, wire and assemble sensor kits, edge hardware and electronic prototypes; install and test on real equipment in the lab, shop and field; design and run pilots and proofs of concept with clear success criteria; and account for hazardous-area constraints, ruggedization, packaging, connectivity and serviceability. Validated findings are integrated into the IIoT product with the IIoT Product Manager and development teams across a Detect-Design-Deploy cycle, and used to shape a prioritized development roadmap. The role also covers organizing a standardized failure database, documenting sensor and install standards, driving KPIs and anomaly reviews with operations leaders, training end users, and building business cases (life-cycle cost, TCO, NPV, ROI). Qualifications: a bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering (or a closely related field), or equivalent practical experience; 5+ years in reliability, maintenance, failure analysis, test, or equipment/instrumentation engineering; hands-on FMEA/FMECA and root-cause analysis; and the ability to build, wire and test prototypes, not only specify them. Technical skills listed include RAM and Weibull analysis; condition monitoring (hydraulics, lubrication, oil, vibration, thermal); control systems, SCADA, PLCs and protocols such as CAN bus/J1939, MQTT, OPC and Modbus; Power BI; SAP PM; agile ways of working; and management of change. Preferred: embedded/electronics prototyping depth and instrumentation in Class I Div 2, ATEX and IECEx environments. Working conditions: on-site in Houston with access to desk, lab/prototyping bench, field and shop areas; travel estimated at 20-40% to field and shop locations, domestic and international. Candidates who exceed the minimum requirements may be considered for higher-level roles, including Senior Technical Professional. Compensation is listed monthly: Tech Prof-Maintenance $6,685-$11,030; Tech Prof-Maintenance, Sr $7,828-$12,916. Visa sponsorship is not mentioned.
