Lead Engineer - Hydraulic & Lubrication

We are seeking a highly experienced Lead Engineer - Hydraulic & Lubrication to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in heavy electrical equipment, with a specific focus on hydraulic and lubrication systems. This role is crucial for improving product quality and reliability by leading Root Cause Analysis (RCA), driving solutions to mitigate known failures, and fostering a quality culture through initiatives like Six Sigma. You will be a key player in investigating field failures, managing improvement projects, and collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Quality & RCA: Support the process of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for failures. Enhance preventive actions and mitigate known failure modes in new designs. Encourage a quality culture by mentoring engineers on Six Sigma and quality improvement projects.
• Failure Investigation: Investigate field-reported turbine failures by collaborating with site technicians and design engineers. Conduct RCA and assess the impact on the fleet, coordinating with all affected stakeholders.
• Solution Management: Identify short- and long-term actions to mitigate failure effects. Manage the development of improvement solutions and test specifications.
• Knowledge & Safety: Maintain the knowledge base and facilitate the sharing of learnings and best practices. Look for safety data from the value chain and drive solution implementations.
• Alarm & Warranty Management: Handle alarms and warranty cases, including investigating false alarm triggers.
• Communication: Prepare inputs for customer and stakeholder communications.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Electronics, or a similar specialization.
• An engineering degree in Design for Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt) is a significant advantage.
• Proven experience in heavy electrical equipment, preferably within the wind industry.
• Strong experience using 7QC tools for RCA and investigating failure data.

Competencies

• Technical Knowledge: In-depth knowledge of hydraulic and lubrication systems (pumps, heat exchangers, solenoid valves, panels) and the ability to read schematics.
• Problem-Solving: Experience with troubleshooting and commissioning. Experience with quality tools like DMAIC cycles, Six Sigma, SCRUM, and gate models is a plus.
• Documentation: Proficiency in SLD, Schematics, and GA Reports.
• Field Experience: Field testing and verification experience with hydraulic and lubrication systems is beneficial.
