About the role
- Provide daily on-site management of the CRYD mechanical install contractor, review and generate complex install operation plans and procedures, oversee physical install work, troubleshoot issues, and ensure correctness of work.
- Plan and execute CRYD mechanical install work (e.g. flange assemblies, tubing, insulation) to reduce schedule risk and contractor cost.
- Manage CRYD I&C install (e.g. control cabinets, instrumentation panels/flanges, probe assemblies and wire harnesses) through daily oversight and resolution of issues.
- Plan and execute on-site functional testing (e.g. solenoid valve assembly tests).
- Manage last CRYD procurements (e.g. LHe offload cart, CRYD warm low pressure skid), troubleshoot issues, visit suppliers, and witness supplier test plans.
- Plan and execute CRYD pre-commissioning tasks (e.g. I&C loop checks; cycling valves; verify pressure and temperature transducers; test relief valves).
- Plan and execute CRYD commissioning tasks (e.g. leak checks at MAWP; demonstrate flow, pressure, temperature controls; PLC command/control; helium pump-and-purge; LN2 shield flow testing).
- Plan and execute CRYP–CRYD commissioning tasks (e.g. demonstrate CRYD performance supporting SPARC operating modes; measure and manage helium leakage; measure CRYD heat loads and hydraulic performance).
- Identify, communicate, and manage key CRYD System risks; develop derisking strategies; document decisions and learnings.
- Maintain versatility and broad understanding of the CRYO and CRYD programs; support other CRYO priorities as necessary.
- Comply with CFS design control processes, document design developments, arrange checks and reviews, and submit design files into M-Files.
Requirements
- Bachelors in Mechanical, Chemical, Thermal or Process Engineering
- 7+ years of experience in the engineering of large-scale, integrated thermofluid systems, from conceptual design through field commissioning
- Experience developing specifications for thermofluid components, e.g. blowers, tanks, control valves
- Experience traveling to manage vendors at their sites; willing to travel occasionally
- Experience using engineering analysis tools: ANSYS, COMSOL, 1D compressible flow code, MATLAB, Simulink
- Knowledge of ASME BPVC, ASME B31.3, NFPA 70E and ASTM Standards
- Proficiency of a CAD software system, e.g. NX, CREO, AVEVA
- Experience with safety systems and protocols, e.g. LOTO, Confined Space, Fall Protection, JHA, MSDS, PPE
- Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
- Ability to perform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
- Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics
- Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
