Powertrain Development Engineer

Description

The Powertrain Development Engineer will design, develop, and test compressor and powertrain technologies for M2X’s gas-to-liquid synthesis system utilizing flare gas and other stranded gases. This role will specify and source components to enhance performance, cost, and durability while advancing M2X’s innovative compressor technology.

• Lead or participate in safety and risk assessment studies related to compressor system design and operation.
• Design, develop, and enhance gas compressor and powertrain systems (including reciprocating and centrifugal compressors) tailored to specific industry or client requirements.
• Conduct comprehensive assessments of existing compressor systems, recommending and integrating new equipment or upgrades to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
• Prepare and review technical documentation, including performance data, mechanical and process drawings, and project reports.
• Oversee installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of compressor equipment, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
• Stay updated with industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory requirements, implementing innovative solutions as needed.
