Lead Engineer - Testing Mechanical Design

<p>The Lead Engineer - Testing Mechanical Design will be responsible for the <b>design of</b> <b>test enabling hardware</b> (test rigs and benches), mainly of NPD programs, working through the following macro steps:</p>

<ul>
<li>testing facility layout definition</li>
<li>internal utilities interfaces and connections</li>
<li>logistic constraints evaluation</li>
<li>design of necessary civil works and structures to build the test stand area</li>
<li>deep dive in the test rig layout definition and relevant components design:</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Turbomachinery shaft-line (drivers, couplings, gear boxes, bearings)</li>
<li>Auxiliaries (Lube oil, Fuel gas, Technical gases systems)</li>
<li>Piping</li>
<li>Baseplates and supports</li>
<li>Servosystems (hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical)</li>
<li>Measurement systems (arrangement)</li>
</ul>

<p>Particular attention must be kept in developing design concepts and solutions in compliance with the regulatory safety standards (EU directives and relevant codes, ASME design standards, internal HSE procedures) and preserving ergonomics and safety of the facility erection and operation personnel.<br />
<br />
Key aspect of the job is the capability to source innovative and disruptive solutions having a constant look at what&
39;s been developed by our and other industrial sectors and companies, including our competitors, in the field of testing and &
39;neighbors&
39;.<br />
<br />

<b>The Lead Engineer - Testing Mechanical Design will be focused on the following activities:</b></p>

<ul>
<li>Design of testing facilities and auxiliary systems, to create the desired operating boundary conditions on the machinery/sub-assembly under test;</li>
<li>Selection and specification of shaft line systems (gear boxes, couplings, electrical / hydraulics drivers...) and relevant alignment procedures</li>
<li>Design of piping / gas loops and ducting systems</li>
<li>Design of supporting structures and baseplates</li>
<li>Design of special tooling for mechanical parts assembly and handling and relevant lifting methods</li>
<li>Coordinate and support outsourced engineering work, monitor their quality (FTY), timing (OTD) and productivity</li>
<li>Manage and control drawings and specifications</li>
<li>Issue test benches assembly instructions and checklists</li>
<li>Support assemblies and facilities installation/commissioning</li>
<li>Develop design concepts and solutions in compliance with regulatory requirements, according to EU standards and directives and/or other industrial codes (e.g. ASME, API)</li>
<li>Maintain synergies with Machine Design Engineers and proactively interact with internal Controlled Titles to prepare technical reviews</li>
<li>Actively support conceptual and detailed design reviews</li>
<li>During the day to day working activities, the Lead Engineer - Testing Mechanical Design will be in touch and work in concurrent engineering with:</li>
<li>Test Project Engineering and Electric &amp; Instrumentation Design teams to evaluate design and boundary conditions requirements and measurement systems selection</li>
<li>Machine Design team to define and review test enabling HW arrangement</li>
<li>Sourcing team to align purchased products, systems and services to technical specs</li>
<li>Workshop Testing Operations team to support installation/operation and commissioning phases and facilitate troubleshooting and RCA&
39;s</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Bachelor or Master degree from an accredited university or college (or a high school diploma/GED with at least 10 years of experience in Engineering).</li>
<li>At least 3 (preferably 5) years of experience in mechanical systems design.</li>
<li>Specific experience in rotating machines test enabling HW development or industrial plant and/or auxiliary systems engineering</li>
<li>Fluent in English</li>
<li>Knowledge of 2D (Autocad) and 3D CAD tools (Unigraphics NX or similar)</li>
<li>Knowledge of structural analysis tools (Ansys, CAESAR, Tekla or similar)</li>
<li>Experience in piping and auxiliary systems design and relevant applicable codes (ASME B 31.3, ASME VIII, ASME B 16.5 or equivalent EN standards)</li>
<li>Ability to drop down conceptual design of structural items and auxiliary systems through verification by hand calculation, relying on his/her own expertise</li>
<li>Ability to deepen the study of a design solutions by modelling the physic behavior with computational analysis tools (e.g. ANSYS, CAESAR, Flowmaster, Hysis, Matlab/Simulink) or at least being able to interpreter the result of those analysis</li>
<li>Familiar with measurement systems and methods applied to turbomachinery</li>
<li>Basic knowledge of PED, CPR, Machinery, ATEX directives and relevant applicable regulations/standards</li>
</ul>
