Role Summary

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to validate the performance, safety, and integrity of centrifugal pumps in compliance with API/ISO standards. Key responsibilities include managing test setups, analysing pump performance, overseeing unit testing, monitoring noise/vibration, and troubleshooting mechanical issues.

Responsibilities:

- Ensure all testing complies with safety protocols and industry standards (e.g., API, HI standards).
- Analyse test loop setup for pump performance testing and NPSH testing.
- Perform hydraulic performance and mechanical testing (vibration, bearing, seal, NPSH) on centrifugal pumps.
- Compare actual test results against design specifications and international standards like API 610 or ISO 9906.
- Verify alignment, balancing, and fitment clearances of components.
- Calculate and plot the testing parameter arrived from pump performance testing, NPSH testing, complete unit testing, mechanical run testing etc.
- Study the actual performance test result and calculate impeller trimming and other hydraulic modification to arrive required curve.
- Perform hydraulic modification of casing and impeller to achieve the pump performance based on test result.
- Analyse and provide the solution for vibration,



noise and other mechanical issues.
- Develop the data base for the pump testing.
- Achieve first pass of pump performance testing.
- Inspect the hydraulic parts and analyse the performance testing.
- Identify and diagnose root causes of failure or performance discrepancies.
- Collaborate with design and manufacturing teams to suggest product improvements based on test data

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or closely related engineering discipline.

- 7–10 years of relevant experience in centrifugal pump industry

- Demonstrate performance and NPSH testing calculations.

- Expertise in API 610, HI and ISO standards for testing.

- Robust analytical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration with design/production teams.

- Working knowledge in pump testing will be an added advantage.

- Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings (CAD), NDT methods, and data acquisition systems.

- Demonstrates ability and willingness to collaborate as team player

- Ability to read, interpret engineering drawings, operating manuals, maintenance instructions and procedures
