Major Duties & Responsibilities:

• Support R&D projects (NPI) involving fluid machines such as pressure exchangers, centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, turbines, turbochargers etc.
• Lead product engineering activities for NPI – production drawings/BOM, performance curves, beta testing, certifications, manufacturing release etc.
• Leverage commercial tools such as SolidWorks for CAD, ANSYS Mechanical for structural analysis, CFX/Fluent for hydraulic flow path design optimization etc.
• Perform validation testing of prototypes in the lab and obtain high quality data.
• Support sustaining engineering efforts to make design improvements, enhance performance, extend operability and/or reduce cost of existing products. Work with Energy Recovery business units in supporting and expanding current product lines
• Provide engineering support for product customization requests.
• Support engineering ticketing system with prompt and accurate responses to tickets.
• Provide engineering support for field RCAs & production test failures as needed.
• Work closely with other business functions such as project engineering, manufacturing, QHSE and business units in rolling out NPI/product enhancements.
• Provide technical support to business, corporate development, manufacturing, quality & project engineering teams as needed.
• Perform other duties & projects as assigned.

Skills & Requirements:

• Minimum of Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant industry experience. An advanced degree in lieu of experience is acceptable provided the concentration is in the area of mechanics of fluids or solids.
• Proficiency in commercial CAD packages such as SolidWorks required.
• Familiarity with use of a commercial FEA tool such as ANSYS for structural analysis.
• Familiarity with CFD analysis using ANSYS CFX/Fluent or Star CCM+ a plus.
• Hands on experience with testing and experimentation, selection and use of sensors/transducers/controls/data acquisition hardware highly desirable.
• Experience with design, analysis and testing of rotodynamic & reciprocating fluid machines a plus.
• Must possess a demonstrated ability to work in a team environment, manage multiple tasks, and be goal oriented.
• Familiarity with engineering standards such as ASME/API/ANSI/NFPA etc.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.  
• Up to 10% of domestic and international travel.
