Company Overview

Fuel Tech is a leading technology company engaged in the worldwide development, commercialization, and application of state-of-the-art proprietary technologies for air pollution control, process optimization, combustion efficiency, and advanced engineering services. These technologies enable customers to operate efficiently in a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable manner.

THIS POSITION IS LOCATED IN WARRENVILLE, ILLINOIS

Position Overview:

A CAD Mechanical Designer is tasked with creating and modifying technical drawings and developing 2D and 3D models for various process systems under the guidance of a project engineer and associated project team. This position plays a crucial role in the design and layout of piping and equipment. Specific industry experience includes, but is not limited to, oil and gas, chemicals, and power. The individual should have experience with skidded equipment design and associated piping and electrical layout, as well as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). A Mechanical Design Engineer works with engineers, architects, and clients to ensure designs are completed to specifications and safety regulations. A Mechanical Design Engineer at times may be required to utilize manual drawing skills and may be required to visit client sites.

Responsibilities:

• Performs day-to-day creation and revision of necessary engineering deliverables using AutoCAD and/or other computer-aided design software packages. These engineering deliverables include, but are not limited to, P&IDs, General Arrangement Drawings (GAs), detailed equipment fabrication drawings, 2D and 3D models, and electrical design and layout drawings.
• Interpret project information and meeting minutes with clients, engineers, and project managers to ensure all technical drawing packages are complete and meet the required specifications.
• Manages deliverables to meet scope and schedule of projects by monitoring, reviewing, and checking work products to ensure accuracy, quality, and timeliness.
• Communicate with the project engineer, project manager, or with the lead mechanical designer while keeping stakeholders informed to ensure that project drawing deliverables match contract requirements.
• Collaborate with sales, marketing, process engineers, project engineering team members (including instrumentation, electrical, and field engineers) as necessary to support pre-contract or contract work.
• Work closely with engineers and project managers to find innovative methods, materials, and piping and equipment layouts when required by client specifications.
• Supports the development of a design database of components, model blocks, and design standards that minimize the time necessary to complete system designs; solicits support from vendors and Fuel Tech engineers to ensure completeness and accuracy of the design library.
• Complies with Fuel Tech policies, safety plans, quality practices, and assigned goals.
• Stays up to date on the latest design software and industry trends.

Education and Experience:

• Requires a four-year technical degree (a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering preferred).
• Requires a minimum of 5 to 7 years of demonstrated design experience with evidence of increasing responsibilities, design proficiency and innovative design skills.
• Familiarity with working on projects in the power, specialty chemical, or oil and gas industries.
• Proficient in Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD.
• Knowledge and use of other CAD packages such as Navisworks and SolidWorks.
• [Experience using technical tools such as FEA anal sis, various mechanical design/modeling software packages, and more.]{#isPasted}
• Must possess a strong knowledge of machining and fabrication tolerances and apply those appropriately for a given assignment.
• Requires significant experience with the design of industrial piping systems for both conveyance of both gases and liquids, a working knowledge of piping, mechanical, and structural components common in process systems (including pumps, valves, and instrumentation), and a general familiarity with electrical equipment and controls.
• [Familiarity with pipe stress analysis software (Bentley Auto PIPE, CAESAR II) is a plus.]{#isPasted}
• The individual should have experience with skidded equipment design and associated piping and electrical layout, as well as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).
• Requires practical experience with process industry standards and safety codes including ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, NFPA, and IBC.
• Demonstrated abilities for overcoming design challenges and fabrication issues related to custom-designed process equipment.
• Proficient in equipment and component layout to ensure proper fit and ease of construction and maintenance.
