Job Description SummaryLead Engineer - Simulation Assisted Engineering (SAE) works within the Plant Integration Engineering team by enabling LEAN integrated plant design (IPD) using modern digital engineering tools and techniques. SAE is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, systems engineering approach to complex IPD, analysis, and optimization. SAE is based on the use of a modern, physics and mathematics, digital engineering modeling and simulation software toolkit. Focus is on technical risk, engineering labor, and schedule duration reduction during first of a kind (FOAK) plant design.
Job DescriptionEssential Responsibilities: - Collaborate in cross-functional environment of; Systems, Instrumentation & Controls, and Human Factors Engineering to ensure successful deployment, implementation, and lifecycle stewardship of the multi-organization and multi-geographic SAE environment.
- Assist in maintaining a singular master plant simulation model in SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated and baselined as necessary.
- Sets up and administers the simulation configuration management system and procedures for the SAE project.
- Maintains Discrepancy Report tracking database via Gitlab Issues and Issue Boards.
- Owns and administers all Gitlab user and project groups for both SAE and non-SAE departments.
- Provides GitLab User Technical Support to SAE and Non-SAE Users. (Resolving Push/Merge Conflicts, Assisting with Error Message Resolution, etc.)
- Places acquired product releases under SAE Configuration Management control and deploys these within the SAE environment, ultimately deploying to downstream customers.
- Develop and edit system models in an integrated simulation environment.
- Develop and run scenarios for single systems, collections of interrelated systems, or entire power plant for: startup, shutdown, and maneuvering throughout all modes of plant operations.
Basic Qualifications: - Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or equivalent 4 year technical degree.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in an engineering, design process, or similar capacity.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience with configuration management systems (e.g., Gitlab) required
Eligibility Requirements: - The preferred work location for this role is at the GVH Headquarters in Wilmington, NC; but highly qualified (US based) remote candidates will be considered.
