Wunderlich‑Malec Services’ CASE RMC business unit is seeking an experienced and hands‑on Mechanical Project and Services Engineer to join our dynamic team. This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced, immersive role—taking projects from initial design all the way through assembly, testing, and on‑site installation at customer locations. This role offers a unique blend of computer‑aided design (CAD), hands‑on fabrication, system integration, testing, and field implementation, providing full ownership of assigned projects from A to Z.

Periodic travel is an essential component, primarily domestic with some international assignments, allowing you to see your designs come to life in real‑world applications.

• Design, develop, and implement mechanical components for turbo machinery control systems to meet customer, machine, integrated system, and safety requirements.
• Design complex hydraulic manifolds, valve actuators, piping/tubing systems, etc. with an emphasis on system functionality, material selection, and design for manufacturing. Develop 3D system models and component 2D machined part prints for machining operations.
• Design custom bracketry and fixtures to integrate new components into existing machinery and systems.
• Specify system components and develop bills of material for purchased parts. Develop detailed CAD drawings of design elements and functionality for shop assembly and customer use/documentation.
• Assemble and test mechanical system components. Develop and execute test plans, including customer witness tests, to verify safe and proper functionality of assembled components under live hydraulic (and/or electric, as applicable) power.
• Assist with initial start‑up, debug integrated systems, and develop system documentation (manuals and technical documents).
• Develop and lead training for customer personnel (machinery operators, engineers, technicians, etc.).
• Work on turbo machinery control system integration projects for steam, combustion, and hydro turbines for clients in industries such as Commercial Power Generation (Fossil‑Fuel, Nuclear, Hydro, Biomass, etc.), Industrial Cogeneration, Oil & Gas (Upstream, Midstream & Downstream), Chemical Processing, etc.
• Project management skills and the ability to self‑manage even complex projects;
  Excellent time management and multitasking;
  Flexibility in work environments and schedules;
  Strong written and oral communication skills, essential to building and maintaining good work and customer relationships.
• The ideal candidate must have a diverse engineering skill set with the ability to work independently and self‑start. May act as lead on some projects and guide craftspeople and technicians, etc. (both internal and customer).
• General administration such as paperwork, copying, printing, scanning, faxing, and using a computer.

BS Mechanical Engineering is preferred. An AA in Engineering Technology or equivalent with equivalent experience may be substituted.

• Advanced understanding of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, piping/tubing principles and practices, fluid flow and piping pressure drop effects, etc.
• Advanced understanding of machining principles/practices and material properties as they relate to both machineability and applications.
• Safe and proper use of hand, power tools, and fabrication equipment to build, assemble, and test industrial machinery and systems.
• Experience with AutoCAD / Inventor (or similar 3D) design software.
• Experience with MIG/TIG welding preferred.
• Experience with stainless steel tube routing, bending, and swaging preferred.
• Understanding of auxiliary equipment in an electrical generating or plant environment:…
