Job Summary:

We are seeking a New Product Development (NPD) Engineer to design, execute, and validate critical components for rotating and reciprocating machinery. This role focuses on the experimental validation of advanced packings, valves, and bearings. You will bridge the gap between theoretical mechanical design and physical performance using advanced data acquisition tools.

Key Responsibilities:

Product Development

   Active participation in all phases of technology and new product development projects; including ideation, research, concept development, product design, testing, validation and launch activities
   Follow market trends, newer technologies and competitor activities to initiate ideas in a proactive manner.
   Collaborate with other engineers, scientists and other research partners to develop innovative new products and accelerate the development cycles.
Component Testing & Validation
   Design custom test rigs for sealing systems (pressure packings, piston and rod rings), valves, and bearing assemblies.
   Develop rigorous test protocols simulating real-world compressor and turbomachinery environments.
   Execute mechanical stress, thermal, dynamic, and leakage testing on prototype components.
   Analyze failed components using root-cause analysis to drive iterative design improvements. 
Instrumentation & Data Acquisition
   Integrate sensors (pressure, temperature, vibration, flow, proximity) into experimental setups.
   Develop LabVIEW architectures for real-time automated data collection and hardware control.
   Process raw test data into structured engineering reports with actionable design recommendations. 

Cross-Functional Collaboration

   Collaborate with design engineers to translate simulation data (FEA/CFD) into physical testing.
   Work alongside laboratory technicians to ensure safe and efficient setup of high-pressure/high-speed test cells.

Required Technical Skills:

Core Machinery Domain

   Reciprocating Compressors: Deep understanding of the work principles, system-level design and maintenance considerations for reciprocating compressors; in addition to component-level knowledge around sealing systems (pressure packing cases, piston and rod rings, static seal systems),, and valves, lubrication, cooling and venting auxiliaries  Previous hands-on experience on compressors highly preferred.
   Turbomachinery: Familiarity with high-speed fluid film bearings, magnetic bearings, and dry gas seals highly preferred.
   Tribology: Strong grasp of friction, wear, and lubrication mechanisms in sealing interfaces, strong familiarity with materials used in critical components of heavy machinery Familiarity with materials testing and hands-on materials lab experience highly preferred.

Systems & Software:

   Data Acquisition (DAQ): Advanced proficiency in National Instruments (NI) hardware and LabVIEW programming.
   Instrumentation: Hands-on experience calibrating and troubleshooting industrial sensors. Previous experience on design and construction of control systems, including electronics, sensors and programming highly desirable.
   CAD/CAE: Ability to generate designs and manufacturing drawings with SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or similar, and demonstrated experience for test fixture design. 

Qualifications & Experience:

   Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Mechatronics. Graduate degrees with relevant research topics highly desirable.
   Experience: 3+ years in an NPD, R&D, or test lab environment focusing on heavy industrial machinery.
   Safety: Experience working around high-pressure gas loops and high-rotational-speed equipment.
