Mechanical Project & Service Engineer

Overview

Wunderlich-Malec Services (WM) is a 100% employee-owned ESOP and one of the largest and most well-established engineering companies in the United States.

Wunderlich-Malec Services is a 100% employee-owned company with 40+ years of industry history, a Top 5 Systems Integrator Giant, and an ENR Top 500 Firm.

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 role involves taking projects from initial design through assembly, testing, and on-site installation at customer locations. It provides a blend of CAD work, hands-on fabrication, system integration, testing, and field implementation with full ownership of assigned projects from A to Z.

Periodic travel is essential, primarily domestic with some international assignments.

This position is responsible for mechanical engineering project requirements involving hydraulic power units, hydraulic/electric/pneumatic valve actuation, and hydraulic protection system design; design for manufacturing; 2D CAD drafting and 3D modelling of mechanical/hydraulic assemblies and systems; analysis and technical specification of system components and sub-assemblies; hands-on system assembly and fabrication; shop/factory testing; site installation and check-out support; commissioning; and field service of mechanical systems on industrial turbo machinery.

• 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 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 materials for purchased parts. Develop detailed CAD drawings 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, Chemical Processing, etc.
• Project management skills and the ability to self-manage complex projects; strong time management and multitasking; flexibility in work environments and schedules; excellent written and oral communication skills to build and maintain customer relationships.
• 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 (internal and customer).
• General administration such as paperwork, copying, printing, scanning, faxing, and using a computer.

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

Experience 5-10 years of experience in or exposure to areas below is preferred:

• 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…
