Generator Systems Engineer

Overview

GTI is a contract manufacturing partner supporting customers in renewable energy, power generation, infrastructure, and industrial systems. We fabricate custom designed, purpose-built enclosures and skids for our customers and perform mechanical and electrical integration in-house, delivering a true turn-key product to our customers. Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision.

• Own full mechanical design of generator systems from concept, prototype, validation, and production release
• Develop integrated system layouts including enclosure, fuel systems, radiator systems, exhaust systems, service access, and structural packaging
• Ensure designs support manufacturability, installation, serviceability, lifting, transport, and long-term durability
• Operate as the primary mechanical owner of the complete generator product

• Design generator enclosures, skid bases, and structural frames that align with fabrication and assembly capabilities
• Develop layouts for component placement, maintenance access, airflow clearance, lifting points, and shipping requirements
• Design weldments, sheet metal assemblies, and bolted mechanical structures for production readiness
• Improve enclosure and frame designs to reduce rework, improve throughput, and enhance field installation success

• Own fuel system design end-to-end including subbase tanks, belly tanks, day tanks, and associated fuel delivery systems
• Design UL 142 compliant storage tanks including double-wall construction, leak detection, venting, fill systems, and containment features
• Size fuel systems to meet runtime requirements, customer specifications, and application demands
• Select pumps, filters, valves, sensors, level systems, and related hardware for reliable fuel system operation

• Define and route all fuel piping, tubing, hoses, and mechanical connections throughout the system
• Design for vibration resistance, thermal expansion, pressure integrity, and serviceability
• Ensure long-term reliability of fluid systems through proper component selection and installation methods
• Support troubleshooting of leaks, restrictions, pump issues, and field reliability concerns

• Own generator airflow and thermal system performance including intake air, radiator integration, compartment cooling, and exhaust heat management
• Design airflow paths to ensure operation at worst-case ambient conditions without derating or overheating
• Evaluate fan performance, pressure drop, recirculation risks, and enclosure heat rejection
• Support thermal validation through testing, instrumentation, and real-world performance analysis

• Design exhaust routing, silencers, flex sections, and thermal shielding while maintaining acceptable back pressure limits
• Coordinate packaging space and provisions for aftertreatment or emissions equipment where required
• Ensure exhaust systems meet thermal, durability, and service access requirements

• Drive manufacturable designs aligned with welding, fabrication, machining, paint, and final assembly capabilities
• Work directly with shop personnel to resolve fit-up, tolerance, and production issues quickly
• Improve designs based on production feedback to reduce labor hours, improve quality, and increase repeatability
• Support BOM accuracy, drawing quality, revision control, and release discipline

• Participate in prototype builds, heat runs, system validation, and production troubleshooting
• Diagnose root causes of thermal, fuel, vibration, packaging, or durability issues and implement corrective actions
• Support continuous improvement through Root Cause Analysis, 5 Whys, and Fishbone methodologies
• Fix real-world issues through engineering ownership, not model-only updates

• Partner with Electrical Engineering on controls,…
