Plug Power is looking to solve the problem of achieving high operational availability, reliability, and low life-cycle maintenance cost of Electrolyzer systems during product development and early customer deployments.
Requirements
- Experience with medium and/or high voltage systems and/or power electronics preferred.
- System controls (e.g., PLC, embedded) experience a plus.
- Mechanical and electrical system aptitude to understand system operations, diagnose failure modes and causes, and resolve issues.
- Proficiency in analyzing engineering data and troubleshooting operational performance.
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, P&ID drawings, and other related project drawings.
- Strong engineering background with applied experience developing and servicing complex electro-mechanical systems, rectifier and transformer packages, medium voltage power systems, large-scale industrial gas plants, or similar types of systems.
- Experience with structured methodologies (e.g., Shainin, 8D, DMAIC, etc.)
Responsibilities
- Lead development and validation of service engineering deliverables during new product development to assure the global services organization and 3rd party partners are prepared to support fielded systems.
- Develop and maintain expert-level technical product knowledge for new products necessary to start-up, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain systems.
- Drive a ‘Design-for-Service’ mindset throughout the design lifecycle, assuring all maintenance activities can be completed safely and with minimal cost.
- Leverage field experience to provide the ‘voice of service’, defining reliability and service requirements and assisting with the development and validation of new products.
- Model the expected service costs associated with corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance and inspections of systems and iterate system design with engineering to assure system reliability and service cost objectives are achieved.
- Define maintenance procedures, spares plans, and tools & equipment required to support and service new products.
- Develop onboard and remote diagnostic and prognostic capability to monitor system operation, identify emerging problems, and determine root cause and appropriate field response.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, systems or controls engineering.
- Five (5) to ten (10) years of related work experience.
- Ability to travel as needed to carry out duties of the position – 30 to 50%, depending on product development program needs.
- Superior communication skills.
- Ability to manage complex projects and multi-task effectively.
