Mechanical Engineer, Fluid Systems

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end engineering of fluid systems and components, including compressors, valves, and heat exchangers.
• Perform complex thermal and fluids analysis to drive design decisions, verify system performance, and ensure structural integrity using first-principle hand calculations and finite element tools.
• Perform trade studies to optimize system and meet program requirements.
• Create and manage a Bill-Of-Materials (BOM).
• Find and develop suppliers for all components.
• Own subassembly design, manufacturing, and test schedules.
• Own risk analysis (FMEA) for subsystems.
• Collect requirements, provide expertise and feedback to engineers in other functional areas via clear, constructive communication.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in Mechanical, Materials, Aeronautical, Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Experience with fluid system architecture design.
• 2+ years of experience in designing, building, and testing fluids systems.
• Proficient knowledge in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
• Proficient knowledge of heat exchanger design and analysis methods.

Desired Qualifications

• Knowledge of thermodynamic power cycles.
• Prior experience with designing piping system for thermal growth using hand calculations and FEA tools.
• Experience with process piping design and testing codes, such as ASME B31.3 and ASME PCC-2.
• Experience with fluid system modeling via Matlab/Python.
• Experienced in design for manufacturability and ramping up hardware build in a production environment.
• Experienced in designing and operating test stands.
