ENGINEER - RESEARCH ENGINEER - Fluids Engineering Dept. Experimental Engineer

• Provide engineering support for research projects on fluid systems and fluid handling equipment.
• Topics include oil and gas equipment testing, erosion testing, methane mitigation, carbon sequestration, and alternative energy.
• Design, build, and operate experimental testing programs that create field-realistic process flow conditions (pressure, temperature, fluids) in controlled test environments.
• Lead experimental research projects in a laboratory setting.
• Develop innovative solutions for commercial and government clients on the world’s challenges in the energy-water nexus.
• Conduct experimental laboratory research for complex fluid flow systems at existing oil, water, gas, and particle multiphase flow facilities and other specialized temporary test setups.
• Implement data acquisition and control systems, select and install various instruments, operate test facilities, and perform tasks confidently under customer observation.
• Manage research projects and document findings.
• Post-process test data; and present reports and technical papers.
• Manage the technical and financial performance of projects.
• Learn and apply new skills in a fast-paced research environment led by pursuit of industry’s most pressing engineering challenges.
• Interact and engage with commercial and government clients to develop solutions that fit their requirements, attend conferences, create promotional material, bid new projects, and write proposals.
• Requires a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, or directly related degree field.
• 0 years: Understanding and knowledge in one of these fields: Oil and gas industry, greenhouse gas mitigation, alternative energy, water management, or similar energy related field.
• Hands-on experience with experimental methods (e.g., lab testing, data acquisition) or facility operation in an engineering context.
• Must possess strong interpersonal and team skills and the ability to effectively communicate complex information.
• Must have the willingness and ability to learn new technical skills and have the ability to balance multiple tasks and prioritize work.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
• Considerations: Must be a U.S. person (i.e., U.S. citizen, non-U.S. citizen national, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee) due to ITAR work in section.
