Senior Design Test Engineer — Rotating Machinery

Hayward Tyler, Inc.; Colchester (VT); On-site; USD 100,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Hayward Tyler, Inc. is seeking an experienced mechanical engineer to support the design value stream through testing, qualification, and commissioning of rotating equipment such as pumps, turbines, or compressors.

The role emphasizes development of test plans, CAD drawings, and documentation while interfacing with subvendors and internal teams. The candidate should hold a BSME with 5–10 years’ relevant experience, be US citizen, and have knowledge of ASME Code sections VIII/III and QME-1, with

Qualifications

• BSME and 5-10 years of experience related to testing and mechanical engineering design and analysis in the field of industrial rotating machinery such as pumps, turbines, or compressors.
• Professional Engineer Registration or ability to gain registration
• Concentration in the power generation or chemical process industries is a plus.
• Exhibit a thorough understanding of pertinent codes, governing regulations and industry practice. Demonstrated experience utilizing the ASME Code Section VIII or Section III and ASME QME-1 desired.
• Ability to read & interpret engineering drawings, standards, and specifications
• Comprehensive understanding of mechanical engineering principles associated with the design, analysis, and operation of centrifugal pumps
• Expected travel is approximately 10-40% yearly (travel expected to be minimal early in role but will increase as design phases progress)
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite
• Exposure to Solid Modeling (SolidWorks preferred), drafting and GD&T practices
• Experience with NI DAQ systems and LabView preferred
• Experience with ANSYS and MathCad preferred
• Strong interpersonal, collaboration, communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills
• Detail oriented, organized, works independently, and highly motivated
• Possess high level of personal initiative
• Focus on internal and external customer service, and recognition of the internal customer needs.

Responsibilities

• Provide a high level of non-supervisory engineering work related to development testing, equipment qualification, factory acceptance testing, and commissioning activities.
• Work closely with subvendors to design and approve test plans and test procedures specific to subvendor supplied systems.
• Author, check, and approve documents and drawings as needed to support new unit testing.
• Incorporate test results to support unit design as assigned by the Lead Unit Design Engineer, including engineering and mechanical design, material selection, executing against established engineering design schedules, compliance to various design Codes and contract requirements, producing progress reports, and all other activities associated with unit design from an Engineering perspective.
• Perform, check, approve, and mentor engineers in most types of calculations, design and analysis, and test validation using both computer aided and manual techniques.
• Perform self-checks of completed work, develop self-confidence, mentor, counsel and provide guidance to peers and team as directed by the Lead Unit Design Engineer.
• When not involved in test related activities, collaborate with the Lead Unit Design Engineer and engineering team in new product development. New product development activities include recommending appropriate mechanical design strategies for conceptual and product development, component design and analysis, task and priority determination, setting deadlines, and assuring that targets are met.
• Utilize customer and vendor data and work with other disciplines as required in the performance of design activities.
• Promote in-house mechanical design excellence by suggesting design and analysis tools, processes, techniques, and process improvements.
• The above described duties require well-developed analytical skills as may be applied to rotating mechanical equipment design and analysis. This would include stress analysis, strength of materials, materials science, vibration, and heat transfer. Preparation of reports, design modifications, and new product proposals may require development of sketches and CAD drawings and models.
• Other related duties as required.
