Mechanical Engineer II

• Design and work alongside a team to build and commission bio-oil pumping, storage, processing, and injection skids to ensure safe and efficient movement of bio-oil between tanker trucks and the wellbore.

• Design resilient and redundant systems that will allow our injection systems to process tens of thousands of tonnes of bio oil injection throughput during 24/7 operations. 

• Leverage existing design review and releases processes to produce robust mechanical/system drawing packages, process control narratives (PCNs), and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)

• Perform FMEAs on all new hardware in collaboration with process safety professionals. Use the results to design and implement mitigations for scaled systems including engineered safeguards and administrative safeguards.

• Ensure bio-oil preprocessing achieves regulatory, measurement, reporting, verification and operational requirements. Collaborate on new process development as needed.

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues: Identify and troubleshoot mechanical system malfunctions and performance gaps. Determine why a failure mode is observed and implement a corrective action to return the system to optimal performance.

• Support on-call production support if our frontline team needs help solving critical Operations problems

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work closely with electrical engineers, software developers, and other mechanical engineers to implement your sub-assemblies into the larger injection system

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field

• Seasoned mechanical engineering experience (3-5 years)

• CAD knowledge is a must, we use OnShape

• Experience with DFMA and FMEA 

• Familiar with GD&T, familiar with basic fabrication techniques

• Familiarity with electromechanical systems

• Ability and excitement to get hands-on with hardware while you work alongside our diverse injection operations team

• Documentation skills that demonstrate your thought process and design process when making improvements (e.g. work instructions, SOPs, and experience training operators on system operation.)

• Ability to communicate priorities, system progress, and work cross functionally

• A desire to work alongside Electrical & Controls Engineers and fabricators to turn solutions into physical, installed hardware with fast turnaround times. Use thorough implementation skills to make impactful and long-term fixes to the injection system in service of system improvement.

• An excitement for scaling up hardware that has the potential to positively impact climate change!

• A willingness to travel between 25-50% of the time to our injection sites and be on-call to support the operators in the field.

• Bring a safety mentality to every task and have the courage to use Stop Work Authority 

Bonus, if You Bring: 

• Experience with thermal, chemical, electrical and/or mechanical processes and hardware such as work experience in oil & gas, aerospace, automotive or chemicals manufacturing.

• A practical knowledge of industrial pump selection, fluid system design, or batch/continuous processing in production settings.
