This position leverages data analytics, ATI Vision, and data acquisition tools to optimize system behavior, improve engine control, improve product reliability, and increase engine performance across a range of gaseous fueled applications.

Major Responsibilities:

- Develop engine systems and components for engine performance using design reviews, testing, problem solving, and calculations to support engine and generator design.

- Conduct testing to evaluate the engine and systems relative to performance and emissions.

- Conduct system analysis using development processes to aid in optimizing the transient, emissions, and steady-state 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.

Education:

Minimum Job Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, or related discipline
