Job Description Summary

The Lead Engineer - Thermal & Fluid Sciences - Data Systems will work with teams of engineers, scientists & software programmers to understand existing & develop new thermodynamic and fluid flow calculations for validating power generation products mainly for Gas & Steam Turbine.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Work closely with combustion engineering team in a lab test environment.
• Work with team to develop emission measurement algorithms to validate designs as government regulations increase and market demands change.
• Review, analyze, and interpret test data and results.
• Develop formal, clear technical reports to provide findings and interpretation/analysis of test results.
• Participate and lead Root Cause Analysis studies as needed.
• Execute the design, analysis, or evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and adhering to business standards, practices, procedures, and product / program requirements. This work would include mechanical and/or electrical engineering for all products
• Has knowledge of best practices and how own area integrates with others; is aware of the competition and the factors that differentiate them in the market
• Uses some judgment and has some ability to propose different solutions outside of set parameters to address more complicated manufacturing processes with technical variety and/or interdependent production cycles. Uses technical experience and analytical thinking. Uses multiple internal and limited external sources outside of own teams to arrive at decisions.
• Acts as a resource for colleagues with less experience. May lead small projects with low risks and resource requirements. Explains information; developing skills to bring team members to consensus around topics within field. Conveys performance expectations and may handle sensitive issues.
