predictive maintenance
The use of data analytics and mathematical calculation to manage and monitor the conditions of machines and production processes.
digital
Dependability engineers ensure the reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) of a production process or a system. They focus on improving the capability to function without interruption and operate when needed, and on increasing the easiness of repairing, replacing or upgrading the product.

- Scope note
- Excludes .
develop test procedures
Develop testing protocols to enable a variety of analyses of products, systems, and components.
manage engineering project
Manage engineering project resources, budget, deadlines, and human resources, and plan schedules as well as any technical activities pertinent to the project.
perform risk analysis
Identify and assess factors that may jeopardise the success of a project or threaten the organisation's functioning. Implement procedures to avoid or minimise their impact.
perform test run
Perform tests putting a system, machine, tool or other equipment through a series of actions under actual operating conditions in order to assess its reliability and suitability to realise its tasks, and adjust settings accordingly.
troubleshoot
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
write work-related reports
Compose work-related reports that support effective relationship management and a high standard of documentation and record keeping. Write and present results and conclusions in a clear and intelligible way so they are comprehensible to a non-expert audience.
