The Steam Turbine Engineering team develops and designs highly efficient turbomachines through the latest engineering sciences and disciplines integrated with digital technologies.
As Steam Performance and Thermodynamic Engineer, you will assist in providing steam turbine heat balance calculations, functional specifications for mechanical equipment, performance predictions and performance correction curves for different requisition (REQ) projects worldwide. Activities contribute to the design and development of products, solutions and overall steam turbine system design for combined cycle projects.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Calculate thermodynamic performance models and heat balances for steam turbine requisition (REQ) projects.
- Use existing system modeling tools for design analysis, test data analysis and optimization including performance/cost trade-off studies.
- Apply fundamental scientific and statistical principles to complex design problems within the broad field of steam turbine engineering.
- Contribute to improving the organizational workflow and processes with the team and interfacing teams.
- Collaborate with other multidisciplinary global engineering teams to insure successful project completion.
- Issue documentation of technical data generated for the assigned projects and/or tasks consistent with engineering policies and procedures.
- Support technical project risks related to design and performance for steam turbines.
- Communicate results, findings and observations in clear and concise documents (presentations, reports, memos, technical articles) to peers and or leadership in formal and/or informal design reviews.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college
- Some relevant engineering experience
Desired Characteristics
- Excellent communication (verbal and written), interpersonal, & collaboration skills
- Strong analytical skills working independently and in a team environment
- Experience in process integration and simulation tools (e.g. ALPRO, HBPRO, Ebsilon, Thermoflow, Gatecycle, Aspen)
- Experience in steam turbine design processes and engineering design tools, power plant performance testing and test code
- Understanding of process flow diagrams, plant operational concepts, water steam/operating cycle technology, or performance guarantees
- Customer and team focused
