United States onlyJob Description Summary
Lead 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 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 Description
Essential Responsibilities:
Collaborate in cross-functional environment of; Systems, Instrumentation & Controls, and Human Factors Engineering to successful deployment, implementation, and lifecycle stewardship of the multi-organization and multi-geographic SAE environment.
Lead SAE discrepancy resolution process fromidentifyingcriticality ofidentifiedissue through validation and verification of implemented solution.Ensure compliance with ANS-3.5-2009.
Act as a liaison between Training, other departments andSAE for scoping hardwarethat meets trainingobjectivesfor deployment within the simulator environment.
Maintain, support, and develop solutions for VM implementation in the overall SAE environment.
Assistinmaintaininga singular master plant simulation model in SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated andbaselinedas necessary.
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.
Collaborate with simulation software supplier to prepare plans, procedures, and reports then perform factory acceptance test (FAT) and site acceptance test (SAT) for simulator, Discrepancy Reports (DR), enhancement requests, technical oversight issues, and training needs.
