Senior Mechanical Engineer (Design and Manufacturing)

Designing and developing innovative mechanical designs, feasibility analysis, materials selection, and performing engineering calculations. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet project requirements and are manufacturable. Additionally, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining accurate design documentation and staying up to date with industry trends. 

Your key focus will be: 

• Design and develop: Create innovative mechanical designs for products, components, or systems using CAD software and engineering best practices. 
• Feasibility analysis: Evaluate the feasibility of design ideas and concepts based on factors such as cost, manufacturing limitations, and material properties. 
• Designed and analyzed hydrodynamic seals and bearing. 
• Materials selection: Select appropriate materials for mechanical systems and components based on factors such as strength, weight, durability, and cost. 
• Manufacturing and Testing: Evaluate, improve and support on the manufacturing process, machining and fabrication techniques, Inspection and testing including NDE process.  
• Engineering calculations: Perform complex engineering calculations, such as stress analysis, thermal analysis, and rotordynamics to optimise designs and ensure the reliability and safety of mechanical systems. 
• Structural design and analysis: Design and analyse static components - Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Perform FEA to predict and mitigate stress concentrations, deformation, and fatigue in static components under various loading conditions. 
• Collaboration with cross-functional teams: Work closely with other engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel to ensure that designs are manufacturable and meet project requirements. 
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers and site maintenance teams. 
• Lead failure analysis investigations (RCA) and recommend corrective actions. 
• Provide technical assistance in the installation, commissioning, and startup of rotating equipment.
