Mechanical Engineer - Pump Testing

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
