- Familiarity with polymeric, metallic, composite, adhesive, coating, or porous materials.
- Experience with accelerated-life testing, reliability engineering, and statistical methods.
- Familiarity with relevant ASME, ASTM, ISO, and pressure-equipment standards.
Bonus Skills and Qualifications:
- Experience with PLM systems, configuration management, and ISO 9001 environments.
- Experience designing with Creo CAD and Simcenter FEA is desirable.
- Lean Six Sigma, project-management, cost-modeling, or supplier-development experience.
What Success looks like in this role
- Develop point-source Structured Adsorbent Bed concepts, architectures, components, interfaces, and assemblies.
- Translate process and customer requirements into engineering specifications and acceptance criteria.
- Perform mechanical, thermal, structural, tolerance, and flow-distribution analyses.
- Select materials compatible with adsorbents, process gases, temperature, pressure, humidity, and cycling conditions.
