We are seeking a versatile Senior Mechanical Engineer with experience in mechanical design and fluid dynamics to support the design, development, testing, and optimization of clean energy power generation systems including heat exchangers, turbines, pumps, cooling & lubrication loops, piping, and other balance-of-plant subsystems.

Design structural support hardware for multiple components and sub-systems·

Perform hand calculations using first principles to size components, determine flow rates, estimate stresses, etc.

Define system requirements, interfaces, and performance targets related to mechanical structures and fluid systems

Develop and maintain system-level architecture for mechanical and fluid subsystems

Perform trade studies to evaluate mechanical configurations, flow architectures, and their impact on system performance and cost

Integrate components such as pumps, piping networks, valves, heat exchangers, and rotating machinery into the overall system design

Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate structural integrity of components and subsystems

Identify opportunities to optimize plant layout to increase construction efficiency, minimize cost, and improve maintainability

Identify, outline, design, and support component-level and sub-system testing required for risk mitigation

Assist in the development of test plans and instrumentation strategies to validate mechanical and fluid performance

Working cross-functionally with other members of the Systems team in addition to Turbomachinery, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Field Ops, and others.
