Process/Combustion Engineer - John Van Aelstyn @ 6:02 pm PST
Jansen Combustion and Boiler Technologies, Inc. (JANSEN) is looking to fill a permanent engineering position to supplement and expand our capabilities in evaluating combustion processes in industrial boilers.

JANSEN is a small but well-established boiler engineering company, located in Kirkland, WA. JANSEN provides engineering services and equipment for improving the operation of biomass- and waste-fired boilers.

JANSEN performs detailed field measurements and analytical calculations to characterize the performance of industrial boilers in support of consulting and engineering services. A process/combustion engineer would work under direct supervision of a senior engineer to learn how to collect field data from hand-held and plant instrumentation, set up and run parametric boiler evaluations, and report findings and recommendations. This would entail interaction with clients; use of analytical instruments to collect field data; spread sheet calculations of combustion, heat and mass balances, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics; and reporting.

Previous academic (or work) experience or interests should include at least some of the following:

• a B.S. or M.S. (preferred) degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering
• knowledge of basic combustion principles
• familiarity with heat transfer and pressure drop calculations
• experience with the use of analytical equipment to make field measurements (O2, CO, NOx, temperature, pressure, etc.)
• use of Excel spread-sheets
• ability to write reports and make presentations
• desire to work as part of a team on projects
• aptitude for mechanical systems

This position includes occasional travel and fieldwork for data collection – approximately one week per month.

In addition to sending your resume, please forward both a letter stating your qualifications, and a copy of your college transcript(s).

o Preparation of mechanical systems industrial facility general arrangement drawings.
o Preparation of mechanical detail drawings for fabricated assemblies of ducting and equipment.
o Preparation of ASME Code pressure part fabrication drawings.

- Checking the work of others.

- Some travel required.

Qualified Candidates must have:

- A good working knowledge and experience using AutoCAD 2004 drafting workstation.

- 5+ years experience in related work.

- Drafting capabilities in the following design/engineering standards - ASME pressure vessels; ASTM materials; mechanical details for shop fabrication.
