Who We Are :

The Power Cycle Machinery group at Southwest Research Institute takes concepts for power cycles and technologies that support the electricity generation / storage, energy distribution, and industrial power applications of the future and turns them into working prototypes.

Objectives of this Role :

• Support the design, analysis, and testing of systems and components used in a variety of power generation and energy storage processes.
• Apply principles of machine design, piping / pressure vessel design, process controls and instrumentation, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer to develop designs and tests for components and systems.
• Apply knowledge of fabrication methods, assembly, and geometric dimensioning & tolerance (GD&T) to ensure components are designed in a way that can be manufactured and assembled.
• Utilize CAD software (Solidworks) to develop mechanical designs and drawings for components and assemblies.
• Develop and maintain system piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and process flow diagrams (PFDs).
• Communicate ideas, results, and other information to coworkers as well as commercial and government clients.
