PLAD Principal Process Engineer - MA

 

You will contribute to the research and development of a next generation program targeting new large market which requires highly reliable integrated cryogenic systems. You will be responsible for designing, testing, qualifying and manufacturing our next generation product for this marketplace.
This position requires a comprehensive knowledge of: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, helium-cryogenics and heat transfer. Experience in the use of CAD software such as ProEngineer (Pro/E), and FEA software such as ANSYS. Experience with mechanical cryocoolers is a plus.
Experienced in the design, manufacture and commissioning of cryogenic systems, preferably related to next generation smart grid systems requiring:
bullet

Competence in several areas of mechanical engineering with emphasis on mechanical stress analysis, structures, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, vacuum technology and cryogenics.

bullet

The industrial use of cryogenic refrigeration in a high reliability low maintenance industrial application.

bullet

Experience in resource and project planning including development of work assignments with task and schedule constraints; directing other engineers, designers and fabrication/installation technicians.

bullet

The ability to understand customer needs and match the system operation to meet the customer needs at the maximum possible efficiency.

bullet

Experience in the selection of components and evaluation of various options based on cost and schedule.

bullet

Pressure vessel and piping code knowledge and the ability to perform the required analysis.

bullet

Working knowledge of machine shop, fabrication techniques and systems hardware.

bullet

The ability to lead and manage multiple tasks with cost and schedule constraints.

bullet

Ability to perform thermodynamic and fluid dynamic calculations for cryogenic liquid and gas systems.

bullet

Ability to perform stress analyses of mechanical systems subjected to thermal stresses and pressure loads.

bullet

Experience in design, testing, transient FEA and fluid dynamics analysis in a sub-cooled and pressurized liquid nitrogen environment
Experience in current lead design in liquid nitrogen environment.

bullet

Cryogenics systems design and integration - including cryostat and transfer line designs, cryogenics instrumentation and control systems.

bullet

Detailed understanding of Industry standards and best practices with respect to cryogenic refrigeration from a systems integration to practical integration methodology.

bullet

Experience with Superconductivity and electrical integration into a cryogenic environment.

bullet

High voltage experience is a plus but not required

Minimum BSME (MSME preferred) with 8 -10 years of relevant engineering experience in cryogenic system design and manufacture. Ability to perform thermodynamic and fluid dynamic calculations for cryogenic liquid and gas systems with a strong knowledge of cryogenic systems is a must. Experience in using and safely handling cryogenic systems and materials as well as laboratory experience with physics and science equipment and instrumentation is preferred. Knowledge of high vacuum systems is an advantage. Background supporting scientific research is highly preferred. Design and integration as well as proven technical leadership skills and the ability to work with a dynamic fast moving team. Operational knowledge of Windows and MS Office products and proficiency in Excel required.
This position involves access to export controlled technology which is subject to U.S. Department of Commerce export control regulations. Otherwise qualified candidates must meet these export control requirements or a deemed export license from the Commerce Department before a final job offer can be extended.
