Job Description Summary
Responsible for the definition of technical solutions for refurbishment, upgrades and transformation of turbogenerator systems into synchronous condensers with or without flywheels. The Sr Mechanical Engineer works from conceptual to detailed design, during Commercial and Execution phases of the projects. He/she is responsible to guide other engineers in the technical definition of the components and auxiliary systems, both the ones fully designed/calculated internally, and the ones outsourced. The Sr Mechanical Engineer interacts with customers and has the duty to translate their requirements into the design solutions. He/she shall be willing to travel abroad for GE internal meetings, visiting customers (sites and offices) and for following up commissioning activities.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
- Analysis of existent turbomachinery assets for their transformation into synchronous condensers.
- Solid engineering expertise for creating technical conceptual and detailed designs that may include flywheels, clutches, shaft extensions, pony motors, turbomachinery adaptations (in generator and/or turbine) and other parts and sub-parts or systems of the complete equipment.
- In-depth understanding of pressurized and vacuum enclosures, with hydrogen or air, for rotating turbomachinery.
- Experience with design or selection and application of seals & sealing systems for static-to-rotating parts in pressurized and vacuum enclosures.
- Capable to run or lead/guide other engineers in analytical or finite elements calculations, covering static and dynamic analysis of steady structures and rotors.
- Take part or lead engineers in the analysis of auxiliary equipment typical of thermal powerplants (oil supply units, heat exchangers, water cooling systems, hydrogen supply skids etc.) for their reutilization, adaptation, or replacement, in projects of turbomachinery refurbishment and synchronous condensers implementation.
- The Sr Engineer interacts with the customer, including site visits to understand the equipment and all arrangements in plant, do inspections and assess conditions, with the purpose of developing the refurbishment solutions.
- Participation in risk analysis and technical and business reviews
- Be able to define solutions compliant with international standards, local regulations and specific customer requirements.
- Support Commercial teams during Sales.
- Own the technical leadership of the projects.
- Support the Production, Tests and Commissioning during Execution.
Required Qualifications
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Expertise in analytical and numerical (FEA) calculation of static structures and rotating parts of turbomachinery.
- Experience on utilities specification (lube oil system, water cooling system).
- Use of FEA software such as ANSYS.
- Use of CAD tools such as AUTOCAD and CREO for 2D and 3D modelling.
- Use of SAP, Windchill and other regular working tools (Word, Outlook etc.)
- Good understanding of manufacturability and supply chain for industrial products.
