Job Description Summary Activities aimed at proving a concept to be valid or technically feasible by the application of scientific and engineering methodologies. Work in this family typically has the objective of demonstrating through test or analyses the performance and implementation potential of a concept Responsible for departmental operations planning/execution or is focused on execution of professional activities within a technical discipline. Functions with some autonomy but guided by established policies or review of end results. The job allows modification of procedures and practices covering work as long as the end results meet standards of acceptability (quality, volume, timeliness etc.). Job Description Roles and Responsibilities Mechanical development and analysis of power electronic converter valves for HVDC Perform mechanical engineering calculations and simulations, with a focus on stress analysis of solids. Application of specifications into key components such as structural steel and composites, cooling systems, corona shields & insulators to capture and translate design intent to stakeholders. Support industrialisation, site works and commissioning. Issue, review and approve drawings. Issue, review and approve design documentation. Carry out validation and contribute to reporting of tests. Innovation of new technical ideas for patent applications. Integration with other engineering departments for product development and project teams. Industrialisation of the validated design by interacting with stakeholders. Actively broadening and deepening HVDC knowledge and sharing specialised expertise to other engineers of any level. Strict adherence to standards and legislation. Promotion and adherence to EHS policies within the team. Occasional global travel for product validations and supply chain integration & site support. The Person The candidate requires mechanical engineering expertise at graduate level or equivalent experience, with a good level of the technical understanding of general mechanical engineering. The candidate will typically be educated to degree-level, or above, in a discipline such as mechanical engineering or science. The applicants may have some career experience in mechanical engineering. The candidate should demonstrate an ability to think innovatively and apply engineering knowledge. An enquiring mind and desire to learn new skills, an ability to apply different engineering methods and a willingness to share knowledge are essential qualities.
