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.
- Solid analytical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration with design/prod
