Responsibilities:

• Create piping systems and support designs, pipe stress analysis, and fluid flow analysis.
• Identify, document, and apply relevant national, state, and local codes applicable to product design.
• Create internal tools and methodology to enable scalable delivery for the creation of detailed design engineering deliverables and calculations.
• Perform all detailed design calculations related to non-electrical systems.
• Develop tools to allow engineering calculations to scale with lower manpower over time.
• Review component and material selections and drive final selections for the product platform.
• Identify gaps in engineering specifications and propose new specifications or refinements to drive system standardization, reliability, and scalability.
• Create documentation and standard operating procedures (SOP) for mechanical engineering.
• Provide subject matter expert (SME) guidance on mechanical engineering topics, including piping, material science, mechanical components, stress analysis, corrosion, and thermoscience.
• Validate conceptual product development designs, identifies issues, and advises augmentation.
• Review all technical work created by specification engineers on non-electrical selections for technical accuracy.
• Review all technical work and deliverables created by mechanical designers for technical accuracy.
• Perform technical reviews on vendor documents and drawing submittals for accuracy and adherence to Skyven specifications.
• Create lifecycle estimates on components and systems using analytical methods.
• Sign and seal mechanical engineering drawings created by yourself or under your supervision.
• Lead team in creation of formal design failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA) and mitigations, and hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies.
