fuel equipment design engineer
Fuel Equipment Design Engineer – Natural Gas & Combustion Systems We’re looking for a Fuel Equipment Design Engineer to take ownership of the design and execution of natural gas delivery and combustion systems for industrial and utility-scale boiler projects. This role sits at the center of fuel system engineering, working on low NOx combustion technology for wall-fired and T-fired boilers. You’ll be leading projects from concept through commissioning, working closely with internal teams, customers, and field service groups to deliver safe, efficient, and performance-driven fuel systems. What you’ll be doing Lead engineering design for natural gas delivery systems, including development of P&IDs and system layouts Design and select equipment such as gas filtration units, pressure reduction skids, flow control systems, burners, and auxiliary components Own technical execution for gas-fired boiler projects and develop deep expertise in combustion and fuel system design Support proposals and sales efforts with technical input, customer presentations, and project estimates Develop field test procedures and support commissioning, startup, and performance testing activities Lead or support burner tuning and emissions optimization during field operations Create and maintain engineering standards for system sizing, performance, and design consistency Collaborate with internal engineering teams, vendors, and customer engineering groups to ensure design accuracy, compliance, and on-time delivery Present technical work at industry events and engage with the broader combustion and power generation community What we’re looking for Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering (Master’s preferred) 8+ years of experience in gas systems, combustion systems, or related industrial/utility engineering work Strong background in natural gas systems (filtration, pressure reduction, flow control, heating, etc.) Experience with boiler combustion systems (wall-fired and/or T-fired strongly preferred) Working knowledge of ASME B31 piping codes and NFPA standards Familiarity with equipment selection, hydraulic analysis, and system design Exposure to field commissioning, startup, or operations is a strong plus CFD experience is a bonus, but not required PE license preferred (or willingness to pursue) Must be comfortable with occasional domestic and international travel
