Fluid Systems Engineer

This role as a Fluid Systems Engineer focuses on the design and development of various fluid systems of a natural gas power plant. You will solve challenges such as sizing a thermodynamic power generation cycle, developing an efficient heat exchanger, or designing a fuel system.

Key responsibilities include fluid system design, material selection, fluids and thermal analysis, manufacturing development, and testing. The Fluid Systems Engineer role is a responsible engineer (RE) that will be the primary owner of their system or component with responsibility from concept to performance in the field., * Ownership of a fluid system from concept to performance in the field.

• Conduct trade studies to down select the best solution to the product requirements.
• Design fluid systems that meet product requirements.
• Select proper materials for the solution that meet requirements including economics.
• Perform detailed fluids, thermal, and structural analysis including 0D/1D fluid and heat models to FEA or CFD models.
• Develop manufacturing methods including managing internal production teams and outside suppliers.
• Manage the system or component development by tracking schedule, economics, and risks.
• Facilitate strong communication of your system or component to the organization.
