Job Information

Responsible for the selection and maintenance of mechanical components utilized within a fuel cell powerplant. The MBOP group (Mechanical Balance of Plant) is responsible for selecting fuel cell components that meet the requirements generated by the Systems group. Typical tasks include corresponding with and effectively collaborating with suppliers to enable selection of optimal hardware, generating component specifications from component level requirement documents, working with suppliers to develop custom components when necessary, generating component- level models, running performance tests (e.g. pump head vs. flow) and/or accelerated durability tests, and conducting component-level testing of new or refurbished parts prior to installation into the powerplant. Critical focus on troubleshooting component noncompliance issues discovered in the factory or in the field. Ongoing focus on employee and career development of self and others within the discipline. This role requires a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the discipline and the role, while continuing to develop specialized discipline knowledge. Works with moderate guidance on projects and more complex work assignments.

Role & Responsibility

  • Direct group's focus with variance resolution on root cause analysis and ensure lessons learned are captured in process revision and standard work.
  • Proactively identify patterns in conflicting information and constructively resolve the conflict(s) in a manner that minimizes impact and rework.
  • With moderate guidance and direction, generate component specifications from component level requirement documents, and review with author(s) to modify as needed prior to formal pursuit.
  • Share component specifications with potential suppliers to identify suitable Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) component availability.
  • Use component specifications to enable suppliers to develop suitable components when COTS parts are not suitable.
  • Ensure new componentry has been validated and thoroughly documented prior to production release.
  • Assure utilization of root cause/corrective action techniques to generate consistently optimal problem resolution.
  • Set challenging but attainable technical goals for self, and track achievements, success and failures to develop and optimize individual and team performance.
  • As may be required, support the development of suppliers to enable them to meet technical, cost and delivery targets.
  • Work with supply chain to initiate, develop and execute component-related cost reductions.
  • Challenge the status quo of current hardware componentry, systems and practices to achieve continuous MBOP improvements.
  • Develop plans that support achievement of short and long-term business demands.
  • Stay abreast of all new and evolving, external MBOP-related processes, parts, materials and developments to assure Doosan remains elevated above its competition.
  • Work seamlessly with others across functional, geographic and cultural boundaries.
  • Align personal performance with team performance and share credit for team successes, and responsibility for team failures.
  • Seek mentor and/or mentee relationships for personal career development, and the development of others.
