Lead Mechanical Engineer

Job Description Summary

Activités visant à prouver la validité ou la faisabilité technique d'un concept par l'application de méthodologies scientifiques et techniques. Le travail dans cette famille a généralement pour objectif de démontrer, par le biais de tests ou d'analyses, les performances et le potentiel de mise en œuvre d'un concept.

Responsable de la planification et/ou de l'exécution des opérations du département ou axé sur l'exécution d'activités professionnelles au sein d'une discipline technique. Fonctions dotées d'une certaine autonomie, mais guidées par les politiques établies ou l'analyse des résultats finaux.
Ce poste est autorisé à modifier les procédures et les pratiques en relation avec les tâches dans la mesure où les résultats finaux répondent aux normes d'acceptabilité (qualité, volume, respect des délais, etc.).

Job Description

Role Overview

• The purpose of the role is to design, analyse, and support testing of mechanical systems and structures for our HVDC Valve products that must meet stringent requirements.
• You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including electrical engineers, cooling engineers, and external compliance experts to ensure that our products are robust, compliant, and manufacturable.
• Work with the team to prepare documentation packages for tendering and project deliverables.
• Collaborate with third-parties for materials and parts data and information.
• Support design reviews and all internal quality requirements.
• Work with manufacturing, site and quality teams to ensure DFM (Design for Manufacture).
• Maintain accurate documentation of designs, test results, and engineering change orders.
• The successful candidate will be part of a highly motivated, dynamic and rapidly growing team of engineers working on the project activities related to HVDC applications.
• This is a very exciting and dynamic field of power engineering in which GE's leading contribution has worldwide recognition.
• The role gives an excellent opportunity for a motivated candidate to innovate, expand their skills and personal development within an internationally recognised expert in this exciting field. Whilst ideally based at the HVDC Centre of Excellence in Stafford this role could be located at any of the GE sites but would then involve regular travel to the UK.

• Conceptual or theoretical activities related to the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. Includes the analysis of static (structural) and dynamic (rotor dynamics, vibrations) behaviour of mechanical systems
• Includes direct people management responsibility including staffing and performance development.
• Utilises in-depth knowledge of a technical discipline and analytical thinking and technical experience to execute policy / strategy.
• Has knowledge of best practices and how own area integrates with others; is aware of the competition and the factors that differentiate them in the market
• Uses some judgment and has some ability to propose different solutions outside of set parameters to address more complicated manufacturing processes with technical variety and/or interdependent production cycles. Uses technical experience and analytical thinking.
• Uses multiple internal and limited external sources outside of own teams to arrive at decisions.
• Acts as a resource for colleagues with less experience.
• May lead small projects with low risks and resource requirements.
• Explains information; developing skills to bring team members to consensus around topics within field.
• Conveys performance expectations and may handle sensitive issues.

• The candidate will probably be educated to degree level in mechanical engineering. However, this is not as important as a proven track record and evidence that you have the experience and abilities to perform the role.
• Candidates should have proven experience with mechanical analysis and testing for electrical / mechanical equipment. It is key that the candidate has the ability to work quickly and efficiently within an engineering team.

• Advanced oral and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to analyse and resolve problems.
• Ability to document, plan, market, and execute programs.
• Established project management skills.
