Mechanical Engineer II-Engine Design

The Mechanical Engineer II - Engine Design

plays an important role in advancing the design and performance of internal combustion engines (ICE), through engine design, data-driven analysis, simulation, and design of system components. This position leverages Creo, Python, and advance calculation tools to optimize system behavior, improve engine design and product reliability, and increase engine performance across a range of gaseous fueled applications.

- Design engine systems and components for using design reviews, calculations, problem solving, and simulation input to support overall engine and generator design.

- Evaluate the engine and systems designs relative to performance and emissions.

- Conduct system analysis using calculations to aid in optimizing the peak and reliability performance of the engine/generator.

- Interpret testing results and collaborate with cross-functional teams through design reviews and technical discussions to guide product development.

- Contribute to the development of engine workflows and analysis best practices to improve group efficiency and accuracy.

- Document project objectives, methods, and results using standardized reporting formats.

- Apply data analysis techniques, including Matlab/Simulink or Python-based scripting, and machine learning to support predictive modeling and performance forecasting.

- Stay informed on relevant technologies, tools, and industry trends to support continuous improvement.

Minimum Qualifications

- Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or related discipline

- 2 or more years of relevant work experience
