Energy Engineer
Research Innovations- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
Candidates must be pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at an accredited University with a concentration in machine design, and experience with commercial CAD packages such as SolidWorks to create engineering drawings and GD&T is required. Familiarity with FEA tools and 1-D modeling is also necessary.
The Mechanical Engineering Intern will assist in setting up and conducting testing activities, support test loop design by creating P&IDs and selecting appropriate equipment and instruments, perform Engineering Calculations using 1-D models and FEA tools, create SolidWorks models of test loops and generate detailed engineering drawings, assist in developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), document testing activities and maintain comprehensive records, collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth execution of testing and validation processes, and follow safety and laboratory protocols during all testing activities, as well as perform other duties and contribute to special projects as assigned.
Develops technologies for industrial fluid efficiency
Energy Recovery develops technologies that improve the efficiency and sustainability of industrial fluid flow processes. The company initially focused on the desalination industry with its pressure exchanger technology and has since expanded to sectors like wastewater treatment, hydraulic fracturing, sour gas processing, and CO2 refrigeration. Its products, including the PX Pressure Exchanger and Ultra PX, work by recovering and recycling energy within fluid systems, which helps clients reduce energy costs and environmental impact. Unlike competitors, Energy Recovery emphasizes long-term service agreements and licensing deals, providing substantial cost savings and environmental benefits. The company's goal is to enhance industrial processes while aligning with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.
