About the role

If you are looking for an opportunity to build your Prognostics Engineering experience and drive the development of new technologies, Emerson has a great opportunity for you. 

The Prognostics Engineer will lead all aspects of the entire lifecycle of diagnostic and prognostic health monitoring technology for equipment used in the process control industry. Emphasis will be on implementation and support of physics and data driven predictive models and extension of algorithms to new applications and use cases. The ideal candidate must have a customer-first mentality, a good understanding of data analysis and algorithm development, hands-on laboratory investigation and written and verbal communication of results. 

Key function includes working closely with the marketing, advanced technology, and software program teams to manage the multi-location engineering collaboration of prognostics development activities. Identify creative and unique methodologies to accelerate hardware, sensor, and analytics development and testing that meet and exceed customer requirements.  

IN THIS ROLE, YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL: 

  • Design, develop, test, and deploy prognostic and sophisticated diagnostic algorithms for industrial control valves and associated equipment
  • Collaborate with a diverse team of Engineers, Data Scientists, SMEs and Collaborators to create and integrate prognostics solutions into systems
  • Analyze and interpret data from sensors, diagnostics, and maintenance records to identify failure modes, trends, and anomalies
  • Create algorithms to detect fault conditions and figure out remaining useful life (RUL) of the system based on sensor data, failure modes, and degradation models
  • Determine the optimal type, number, and location of sensors for the system based on the prognostic objectives, performance criteria, and constraints
  • Create clear, concise, and verifiable engineering requirement documents and engineering plans to achieve project goals

WHO YOU ARE: You design processes and procedures that allow managing from a distance. You evaluate pros and cons, risks and benefits of different solution options. You provide timely and effective information to individuals across the organization. You push yourself and help others achieve results. You establish clear responsibilities and processes for monitoring work and measuring results.

FOR THIS ROLE, YOU WILL NEED: 

Preference will be given to those who have earned advanced degrees.  Hands-on laboratory classwork related to measurement and instrumentation and experience with sensors and general metrology, modelling of physical systems and algorithm development are considered a plus 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics or in any applicable field.
  • 5+ years relevant industry experience
  • Control valve business knowledge and experience desired
  • Experience with predictive model development is desired
  • Experience at collaborating with diverse work groups
  • Experience with engineering and signal processing development tools
  • Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now and in the future
    • Individuals with temporary visas such as E, F-1 (including those with OPT or CPT), H-1, H-2, L-1, B, J or TN, or who need sponsorship for work authorization now or in the future, are not eligible for hire. MUST be US Citizen or possess a Green Card

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS THAT SET YOU APART: 

  • Experience with developing and applying prognostic algorithms and models for complex systems and components. Familiarity with various prognostics and diagnostics approaches, such as physics-based, data-driven, and hybrid.
  • Strong mathematical and analytical skills for investigating complex technical problems
  • Ability to create and validate dynamic models of physical systems using tools such as MATLAB and Simulink
  • Knowledge of machining learning, data science, and statistical methods
  • Familiarity with industrial control systems, sensors, and diagnostics
  • Ability to work in a diverse global engineering and marketing team
  • Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills
  • PhD or Masters in STEM related courses is preferred
