Design Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities:

• System Design and Development: Design and develop layouts of pneumatic/mechanical conveying systems, considering project-specific requirements and parameters.
• Engineering Calculations: Conduct basic engineering calculations for system capacity, flow, and pressure drop through pipes, as well as mechanical component sizing. Apply knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) as needed.
• Material Selection: Have knowledge of material construction for pipes, plates, sheet metal, structural members, castings, and forgings used in conveying systems.
• Technical Drawing Preparation: Prepare technical drawings, including P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), layout drawings, and equipment GA/detail drawings using 2D/3D CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Solid Edge).
• Bill of Materials (BOM) Preparation: Generate bill of materials using CAD tools and release drawings to manufacturing through SAP.
• Equipment Evaluation and Selection: Evaluate and select appropriate equipment such as blowers, compressors, dust collectors, valves, gearboxes, couplings, motors, and bearings for the pneumatic conveying system.
• Procurement Support: Assist in the procurement process by preparing technical specifications, evaluating vendor proposals, and conducting technical reviews of equipment.
• Document Management: Ensure timely and quality release of design documents and maintain records related to engineering change/revision management, including design change notes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including process engineers, mechanical engineers, and project managers, to ensure seamless integration of the pneumatic conveying system into larger projects.
• Compliance and Safety: Ensure compliance with relevant industry codes, standards, and safety regulations during the design and implementation phases.
• Installation and Troubleshooting Support: Provide support during the installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of the pneumatic conveying system, addressing any design-related issues that may arise.
• Continuous Learning and Improvement: Stay updated with the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices in pneumatic/mechanical conveying systems. Apply this knowledge to enhance design methodologies and improve project outcomes.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 4 to 6 years of experience in design engineering, preferably in pneumatic/mechanical conveying systems or related fields.
• Proficiency in CAD software, such as AutoCAD and Solid Edge.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to conduct engineering calculations and evaluations.
• Knowledge of material selection, equipment sizing, and technical drawing preparation.
• Familiarity with procurement processes and vendor evaluation.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working effectively in cross-functional teams.
• Attention to detail and commitment to quality in design documentation and project execution.
• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
