How can you know if you are a capable reliability engineer?
Abstract
Carl and Fred discuss how individual reliability engineers can assess their skills to determine their personal level of competency and value to the company.
Of course, reliability engineers must be competent in the fundamentals of engineering and reliability. However, the value of application skills is very important.
In other words, reliability engineers should be balanced in the theory and application of their skills. Nothing replaces experience, but practitioners can practice “what ifs” and ensure they can react properly to the variety of challenges they anticipate encountering.
The podcast ended with a discussion about the importance of having and showing curiosity and passion on the subject.
