Job description

PURPOSE OF THE JOB
The Heat Transfer & Fluid Flow Engineer - Fiber Manufacturing leads development of new technologies from a fundamental science approach that delivers greater manufacturing productivity and product quality with capital-efficient operations. This position requires a deep understanding of the physics and engineering challenges involved in fiberizing at high temperatures and rotational speeds, as well as proficiency in mechanical engineering, heat transfer and turbulent fluid flow. This extends to the engineering challenges of collecting fibers from a high-flow, turbulent air stream to achieve uniform weight distribution and optimal pack structure that deliver desirable thermal and mechanical properties to the product.
The engineer will utilize physical experimentation, theoretical models, and advanced numerical modeling tools for designing and analyzing fiberizing and collection systems with the goal to enhance performance while using scientific approaches that balance accuracy and cost. The engineer is also responsible to work with an extended team to translate the fundamental understanding into practical designs for evaluation in venues that range from a laboratory environment to an industrial manufacturing plant.
Reports to: Fiberizing R&D Leader
Span of Control: Individual contributor with strong collaboration across the team, labs and manufacturing plants
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
Commitment to Safety
  • Commit to our safety standard: all accidents are preventable; safety is everyone's responsibility and working safely is a condition of employment; zero injuries
  • Identify and correct safety hazards in the workplace and improve the safety of our processes through Design Hazard Eliminations (DHEs)
  • Ensure rigorous compliance to standard safety procedures and OC corporate policies

Fiberization Process Development & Implementation
  • Extend the fundamental knowledge of the centrifugal fiberizing processes
  • Translate that knowledge to the development of fiberizing systems that substantially improve manufacturing productivity and/or product quality
  • Extend the fundamental knowledge of fiber collection and the resulting pack structure
  • Translate that knowledge to the development of collection systems that substantially improve weight distribution and pack structure to deliver improved thermal and mechanical properties to the product
  • Work with an extended team to rapidly prototype new concepts
  • Design and perform experiments to validate new concepts
  • Drive concepts all the way through to plant level implementation
  • Leverage external partnerships to enhance capabilities and more rapidly advance concepts
  • Thorough technical documentation

Technical Leadership & Collaboration
  • Drives competitive advantage through framing business opportunities and aligning underlying technology approaches.
  • Works horizontally to partner with Enterprise Innovation teams and functional partners
  • Collaborates externally to accelerate technical solutions and material understanding.
  • Invests in the growth and success of others despite no direct people leadership responsibilities.

  • 0-5 years of practical involvement in industrial operations, including assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of mechanical systems and components.
  • Direct participation in experimental mechanical projects, including design validation, prototype fabrication, and performance testing.
  • Exposure to industrial environments with hands-on work in equipment setup, process optimization, and mechanical system trials.
  • 25-35% travel

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Experience with commercial CAD, CFD codes, and FEA codes
  • Experience with the design and testing of high-temperature systems that challenge material selection
  • Experience with the design and testing of high-speed rotating systems
  • Experience with extreme environments that limit measurement access
  • Knowledge/experience with combustion system design and/or modelling
  • Knowledge/experience with induction heating and alternative fuels/decarbonization
