Staff Facilities Mechanical Engineer

What you will do

Performs detailed engineering tasks to include evaluation of engineering alternatives, analysis of data, calculations, CAD drawings, preparation of specifications and reports for the design, development, construction, and commissioning for mechanical, refrigeration, and process (MRP) elements required for HVAC test facilities. This position interacts with engineers, suppliers, and other departments to facilitate project completion. Project work includes MRP systems that simulate precise and extreme environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, precipitation (rain, snow, ice, fog, salt, etc.), air flow, liquid flow, and high-pressure vapor flow.

How you will do it

• Develop conceptual designs and cost estimates for related MRP project elements during budgeting (Capital Appropriations Request, CAR) and initial project phases.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret data, develop engineering computer programs (e.g. Excel, EES, LabView) and designs basic process systems, sub-systems, and components.
• Prepare final designs including drawings, requests for quote (RFQs), bills of material (BOMs), and construction specifications. Responds to contractor and engineering requests-for-information (RFIs).
• Coordinate with electrical, controls, and other disciplines to facilitate state-of-the-art designs for complete HVAC test facility projects.
• Create refrigeration and process system designs and develops piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) for projects that simulate precise and extreme environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, snow, air flow, liquid flow, and high-pressure vapor flow.
• Review project designs for compliance with applicable national and local codes, engineering principles, industry best practices, company standards and related specifications.
• Plan and conduct on-site startup, troubleshooting, adjusting, testing and commissioning of MRP systems for all test facility projects.
• Facilitate all capital planning & execution
• Operate in compliance with JCI safety, quality, confidentiality, and ethics policies, including completion of recurring on-line training modules with self-certification
• Perform other duties as assigned

What we look for

• Bachelor of Science Degree Mechanical Engineering from ABET accredited university; master's degree or PE registration preferred.
• Minimum of 8 years' experience with mechanical engineering design in the HVAC industry; or 6 years work experience after the completion of a MSME degree or PE license. Working knowledge of applicable industry codes and standards including ASHRAE, AHRI, UL, AMCA, ASME, ANSI, SMACNA, UBC (ICC) and others.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Windows operating environment, including e-mail and Microsoft Office software; and AutoCAD or equivalent engineering document preparation.
• Ability to operate independently on detailed individual tasks with a high level of accuracy
• Ability to multitask and work with various stakeholders as needed
• Strong organizational and record keeping skills
• Strong verbal and written communication skills using English
• Effective and professional interpersonal skills to contribute as part of internal customer service team
