Mechanical Engineer

Location: Lafayette IN (1st several months would be fully onsite and then could transition to a hybrid approach (at least 3 days per week on site))

Shift: 7:30am to 4:30pm ET

Typical task breakdown:
Engine performance requirements development
Engine performance calibration mapping and validation
Reporting at Design reviews and project status reports to Leadership.
Support of product validation in a test cell and/or field environment
Engine System modeling
Engine System analysis
Project Planning

Interaction with team:
Daily interaction with the performance team significant coordination and collaboration with many other teams (Platform controls validation)

Work environment:
The work environment is typically the office environment but at times the engineer will need to support lab test (troubleshooting calibration etc.) as well as field engines.

Education & Experience Required:
BS degree in an accredited Mechanical/Electrical or Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Technology curriculum and 1 years of experience per below

Preferred Experience:
Experience in performance development of IC engines.
And/or experience in the simulation/modeling/analysis of IC engine systems and/or subsystems. GT power modeling experience is desired.

Technical Skills
(Required)
Strong understanding of engine fundamentals and spark ignited combustion.
Methodical and data driven approach to problem solving.

(Desired)
Simulation or engine modeling experience

Positions Contributions to Work Group:
The successful candidate will be working in a fastpaced environment to develop an engine system for use in applications such as Electric Power Gas Compression Marine Petroleum and other Spark Ignited applications.
The engineer will be responsible for ensuring that the engine system meets program requirements with respect to performance and controls emissions and software.
They will be required to use simulation analysis and engineering judgment to meet program deliverables.
This involves working to develop performance requirements to meet program deliverables and ensuring that performance and controls algorithms are capable of meeting those requirements.
This includes combustion and system level simulation using GTPower engine performance development mapping in a performance cell and validation that final software is capable of meeting program deliverables from both a performance and emissions standpoint.
Support of field follow engines is also required to ensure that the product is meeting the customers requirements in a field setting.
The individual must be able to work as part of a team and coordinate with controls experts aftertreatment specialists design engineers program managers and many others in a fast paced development and validation environment.
They must have a system engineering focus and be motivated to meet/exceed customer expectations.
A strong understanding of spark ignited combustion and system interactions is desired.

Soft Skills
(Required)
Ability to work well with others and in a team environment.
Strong communication skills

(Desired)
Ability to work on several projects at a time. Need to meet program timelines and deliverables on time.
