Job Description

A Gas Engine System Engineer develops, integrates, and supports gas engine subsystems under the guidance of a System Lead. They are responsible for translating system-level requirements into detailed technical solutions, executing analysis, development, and validation work to ensure the subsystem performs as intended within the overall engine system.

What You Will Do:

• Designing advanced electrical control systems and integrating electrical and mechanical systems

• Designing and implementing software and procedures to control and enhance electro-mechanical systems and mechatronic devices performance in collaboration with scientists.

• Designing and prototyping mechatronic devices with motors, solenoids, gears, sensors, and springs

• Identify and address areas of product weakness in finished products

Degree Requirement

Requires a degree in an accredited Engineering, Computer Science, or Materials Science curriculum.

What You Will Have:

Analytical Thinking: Knowledge of techniques and tools that promote effective analysis; ability to determine the root cause of organizational problems and create alternative solutions that resolve these problems.

Level Working Knowledge:

• Comfortable investigating unknown problems and situations through systematic analysis investigating multiple alternative solutions

• Uses engineering tools to make quantitative comparisons based off facts and empirical data

• Uses logic and intuition to make inferences about the meaning of the data and arrive at conclusions.

Problem Solving: Knowledge of approaches, tools, techniques for recognizing, anticipating, and resolving organizational, operational or process problems; ability to apply knowledge of problem solving appropriately to diverse situations.

Level Working Knowledge:

• Identifies and documents specific problems and resolution alternatives.

• Examines a specific problem and understands the perspective of each involved stakeholder.

• Develops alternative techniques for assessing accuracy and relevance of information.
