The role involves advanced engineering methods, risk management, and collaboration across disciplines.
Responsibilities
- Play a key role in the development of next-generation centrifugal compressor technologies and products.
- Work closely with specialists from various engineering disciplines throughout the complete product development cycle: from concept generation and technology development to prototype validation, product release and field support.
- Combine strong analytical skills with sound engineering judgment to translate technical challenges into practical design solutions.
- Independently evaluate design concepts, identify risks, challenge assumptions and contribute to well-founded engineering decisions.
- Perform mechanical design and analysis, including sizing and validating critical rotating equipment components such as shafts, gears, rolling-element bearings and hydrodynamic bearings.
- Perform engineering calculations, finite element analyses and rotor dynamic assessments to ensure reliable and performant product designs.
- Support prototype assembly, investigate field failures or validate new design concepts.
- Maintain accurate product structures, manage engineering BOMs and ensure designs are properly documented.
- Utilize design reviews, DFMEA methodologies and engineering best practices to improve product robustness and reliability.
- Communicate clearly and effectively with colleagues from different technical backgrounds, document findings and provide constructive feedback.
- Report to the Team Leader Centrifugal Compressors.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent through experience.
- Experience in the design and development of mechanical systems or rotating equipment.
- Strong understanding of gears, shafts, rolling-element bearings and hydrodynamic bearings.
- Experience with engineering calculations, finite element analysis (FEA) and rotor dynamics.
- Familiarity with DFMEA, design reviews and engineering risk assessment methodologies.
- Understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and engineering standards.
- Experience supporting prototype development, testing and failure investigations.
- Structured way of working with strong attention to detail and documentation quality.
- Ability to manage and maintain engineering BOMs and product structures.
- Strong team player with good communication skills.
- Fluent in English; knowledge of Dutch is considered an advantage.
Desired Qualifications
- On-the-job-training is available for those who only partly meet the profile.
Benefits
- Join an international and diverse environment.
