Mechanical Engineer

Role: Mechanical engineer

USC or Canadian Citizens only

Location: Longmont CO (Remote OR Hybrid)

We are looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Mechanical Engineer with expertise in steam valve hydraulic actuators, hydraulic power units (HPUs), hydraulic trip manifold assemblies (TMA), control system elements, and instrumentation design. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience designing and optimizing hydraulic and control systems.

• Steam Valve Actuator Design: Design, develop, and optimize steam valve actuators for controlling fluid flow in high-pressure and high-temperature systems. Ensure actuators meet operational requirements, safety standards, and performance specifications.
• Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) Design: Design hydraulic power units (HPUs) for providing hydraulic pressure supply to control systems. Select and integrate appropriate components (e.g., pumps, valves, reservoirs) for optimized performance, reliability, and energy efficiency.
• Manifold and Valve Integration: Design and integrate manifolds, valves, and related components into hydraulic systems. Ensure proper flow distribution and system safety, minimizing leaks and failures during operation
• Collaboration and Coordination: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, to ensure that mechanical designs align with system requirements. Provide technical support throughout the design, installation, and commissioning phases.
• Documentation and Compliance: Create and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including technical drawings, schematics, and design specifications. Ensure all designs comply with relevant codes, standards, and safety regulations (e.g., ASME, API, ISO)
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Minimum of 5 years of experience in mechanical engineering, specifically with steam valve hydraulic actuators, hydraulic power units, manifolds, and control systems.

Technical Skills:

• In-depth knowledge of steam valve actuators, hydraulic systems, and instrumentation design.
• Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, pressure systems, and mechanical actuation.
• Familiarity with hydraulic control systems and their integration with control systems.
• Proficiency in both solid modelling and 2-dimensional CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks) for mechanical design and layout.
• Experience with instrumentation design for monitoring and controlling systems (e.g., pressure sensors, flow meters, temperature transmitters).
• Knowledge of safety standards, codes, and regulations (e.g., ASME, API, IEC).

Soft Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to troubleshoot and optimize mechanical and hydraulic systems.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills to collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with hydraulic systems in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, or heavy manufacturing.

Pay: $90,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
• Paid time off
• Relocation assistance
