Reports To: Chief Engineer
Position Overview
We're seeking a highly analytical and systemic Process Engineer to support ongoing test bench operation and maintenance activities. This role is critical in ensuring our next-generation ultrasonic and mechanical metering solutions meet stringent US regulatory standards while bridging the gap between physical hydraulic testing and advanced information systems.
The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of AWWA standards, test bench architecture, and the ability to evaluate hydraulic data to facilitate continuous improvement activities.
Key Responsibilities
1. Test Bench

Participate in the design, optimization, and maintenance of our high-precision test benches for both Ultrasonic (AWWA C715) and Mechanical (AWWA C700/C708) water meters
Contribute expertise to support technical component selection, including high-efficiency pumps, precision reference meters, control valves, VFDs, peripheral sensors, etc. to ensure system integrity, accuracy and longevity
Support ongoing test bench operation and maintenance activities

2. Production Equipment and Systems

Optimize product flow through the assembly and testing processes
Contribute to various continuous process improvement projects
Seek out and suggest improvements in safety and ergonomics
Determine opportunities for mechanization/automation of processes
Assist in developing visual production systems for tracking team-member performance

3. Standards, Regulations & Compliance

Act as the subject matter expert on US market regulations, ensuring all designs and testing protocols comply with the latest NSF / EPA / Safe Drinking Water Act and ANSI/AWWA standards
Establish and maintain rigorous quality control benchmarks to ensure meter accuracy remains within the allowable error range

3. Connectivity & Information Systems

Manage the connectivity between physical test benches and enterprise information systems

4. Data Analysis & Troubleshooting

Data analysis capabilities to determine process quality and reliability
Use of statistical tools for process analysis
Use of digital tools for data analysis and performance monitoring (Excel, BI…)
Work and data extraction from ERP, BI, MES systems
Provide solutions for process and quality issues arising in calibration

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, or Civil (Hydraulic) Engineering (or a related field)
Experience: Minimum of 3 years of experience in process engineering, preferably within water works or hydraulic systems
Multidisciplinary Proficiency: Demonstrated understanding of systems involving mechanical components, hydraulic flow dynamics, and software/PLC integration

Technical Skills:

Ability to learn and understand test bench processes in-depth (hydraulics + process)
Ability to learn and understand water meter functionality and the parameters influencing meter functionality and KPI of the calibration process
Proficiency in database analysis tools and statistical software

Preferred Qualities:

Ability to communicate complex technical conclusions to non-engineering stakeholders
Proven track record of designing "smart" infrastructure that connects physical hardware to digital cloud environments
Familiarity with the AWWA Manuals and Standards.
- M6 Manual for Water Meters
- AWWA Specifications; C700, C708 and C715 for Water Meters
Ability to work in a Team Environment to facilitate continuous improvement
