Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of relevant experience in industrial equipment, process equipment, thermal-fluid systems, energy systems, rotating equipment, or related product development
- Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals across piping, pressure vessels, materials, heat exchangers, rotating equipment, skidded systems, bearings, and fabrication
- Skill creating and modifying P&IDs and translating system intent into practical hardware
- Strong CAD capability, ideally in SolidWorks, including ability to create models and drawings directly
- Strong print review instincts and the ability to find issues, inconsistencies, and bad assumptions in mechanical design packages
- Ability to make sound engineering judgments in ambiguous, first-of-a-kind, or cross-disciplinary situations
- Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, vendors, fabricators, and leadership
- Willingness to engage with real hardware, real field constraints, and real operating problems
- Experience in an industrial startup or fast-moving product development environment (valuable)
- Hands-on field, commissioning, startup, troubleshooting, or plant support experience (valuable)
- Experience with pumps, compressors, turbomachinery, steam systems, thermal systems, or fluid systems (valuable)
- Working knowledge of relevant codes and standards such as ASME and API (valuable)
- Experience reviewing or developing piping layouts, supports, stress/life considerations, materials selections, and fabrication details (valuable)
- Experience improving engineering workflows through scripting, automation, design tools, or model-based approaches (valuable)
- Ability to use Python or similar tools for engineering analysis or automation (valuable)
Responsibilities
- Help develop and refine industrial thermal-fluid systems with a strong eye toward buildability, operability, maintainability, and cost
- Contribute to and improve P&IDs, system layouts, piping concepts, mechanical arrangements, and equipment designs
- Create CAD models, assemblies, and drawings where needed, not just review them
- Critically review prints, layouts, and design packages and catch issues before they reach fabrication or the field
- Work across process, mechanical, electrical, controls, and field considerations rather than staying narrowly inside one discipline
- Develop technical specifications for major mechanical equipment and supporting components
- Drive portions of the design from concept through vendor engagement, detailed design, fabrication, and field feedback
- Work directly with suppliers and fabricators to clarify requirements, review designs, answer RFIs, and make sound judgements on open-ended engineering questions
- Identify opportunities to standardize or automate parts of the design process, including engineering tools, design workflows, drawing generation, or CAD workflows
- Help raise the technical level of the team through strong review, clear reasoning, and high standards while keeping an eye on speed and pragmatism
