Potentially design of new submersible motors along with other Electrical support required during orders execution.

Responsibilities:

• Technical coordination with Project Management and Supply Chain to drive On-Time-Performance (OTP)
• Reduce the cost of poor quality with our internal and external customers on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) orders.
• Provide technical support to departmental team members as well as to team members across the order process chain.
• Mitigate issues related to new equipment, sometimes within a very tight timeline, for Operations.
• Partner closely with an international group of team members as well as work autonomously at times to support the identified products.

The successful candidate will:

• Be responsible for design changes related to electrical wiring and cables in submersible motors.
• Evaluate the performance impacts of existing design motors when manufacturing deviations arise.
• Complete changes on existing designs to follow EU regulations (EU Directives 2014/30/EU, 2014/35/EU, ATEX), product standards.
• Evaluate and complete changes on existing designs, i.e: Usage of higher Voltage, usage of VFD, electrical heating from harmonics, motor speeds with electric frequency variators, motor laminations.
• Validate motor procedures (winding spec, testing specs, etc)
• Work as a senior Electrical Engineer and support product design and support that incorporated electrical components such as motors/ VFDs / Soft Starts/Controls/ Relays, electrical cable, wiring and all related instrumentation /measurements and monitoring.
• Guarantee the adequate performance of the electrical equipment in the field throughout the proper application and design engineering processes with motors, controls and related gear.
• Ensure required support in interpretation of electrical data/ test results and all order related motor/ VFD/controls that Flowserve buys to be shipped along with the pumps.
• Work with our internal customers on OEM (Unit) orders.
• Act as a single point of contact to provide technical support to other team members, and other departments, on issues related to new equipment in a tight response timeframe.
• Embrace and drive a CIP environment throughout Flowserve.
• Ensuring safety practices for all of the above tasks and accountabilities is the first and last duty of the engineer.

Requirements:

• BS in Electrical Engineering or Electro-Mechanical or Electronics related field with demonstrated knowledge and experience with the most of all the below requirements.
• The working/demonstrated plus theoretical understanding of some of the following at a minimum:
  • Submersible liquid cooled and above ground AC induction Motors
  • VFDS, soft starts - regular types to submersible motors (such as SME/Vansan/Allen Bradley/Toshiba).
  • Low to Medium (up to 5KV equipment scope and experience)
  • NEMA and NEC type motors/standards familiarity and working knowledge
  • Electrical Control Devices, PLCs and Relay Logic circuitry, comprehension and trouble shooting
  • Switch gears and supply source understanding
  • Electrical parameters measurements, measuring equipment, data acquisition and analysis of all types
  • Knowledge and experience in Transformer types, characteristics, behavior, testing and application
  • IEEE/Local/International Test standards and practices including CSA - Knowledge/Understanding and if any practical experience
  • Knowledge on EU directives like ATEX, electromagnetic compatibility, pressure equipment directives
  • Theory/Understanding and some any highly preferred practical knowledge or demonstrated experience in induction motor design/winding/calculations of motor characteristics of such as losses, efficiency, power factor, winding technology, stator and rotor material/laminations/single and 3 phase winding/phases/measurement and handling.
  • Field system testing of inputs/outputs of typical Induction Motors/Generators/VFDs/Soft starts/logic circuits/controls and measurement/monitoring as one integrated system.
  • Practical knowledge with electromechanical systems and failure mode/root cause analysis
• Excellent organizational skills with close attention to details with safety protocols and principles
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for within Flowserve and outside customers/ field personnel
• Excellent computer skills- typical and any special related to Electrical Design and trouble hooting/analysis
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, team orientated, and Continuous Improvement environment and with the field personnel for effective problem solving and tasks executed in a timely manner.
• Readiness to travel (internationally) in a percentage of 30% approx.
