Staff Pipe Stress Engineer

We are looking for a Staff Pipe Stress/Vessel Engineer to join our product engineering team. You will play an important role in the development of renewable hydrogen product plants at industrial scale. You will design our next generation of hydrogen plants and carry your design ideas from prototype and pilot scale testing into implementation in our product scale customer plants. You will work with the process, structural and mechanical design engineering team to manage design requirements, improve scope interfaces and produce piping designs which guide the cost of electrolytically generated hydrogen lower than the costs of fossil hydrogen.

You will be based in San Jose, CA and will work on a hybrid basis. You will report to the Director of Mechanical Design Engineering, Fluid Systems.

Responsibilities:

• Analysis and computational pipe stress analysis on multiple piping systems in Caesar II (preferred) for hydrogen service

• Markup piping diagrams and isometrics to give feedback to piping and structural designers

• Specify guide, anchor, and support types, including identifying alternate materials or suppliers if lead times are longer then a project schedule allows

• Review design work performed by others on the Process Design Team, including 3D design work in Revit/plant3D/CADWORX, to ensure every design maintains excellent quality and that pipe stress analysis results and requirements are incorporated

• Produce bills of material for supports, guides, anchors, stops, flex joints, expansion joints, etc. for procurement

• Perform Pressure vessel design using ASME Sec VIII, Div 1 and Div 2

• Perform Finite Element Analysis of critical vessel junctions using FE Pipe /Nozzle Pro

• Serve as Subject Matter Expert on pipe stress and pipe support design including ASME and ASTM codes

• Review and approve final design documents for piping systems, including isometrics, shop drawings, material submittals, pipe support designs, etc.

• Participate in onsite construction and commissioning activities by serving as the point of contact for technical questions and real-time issue resolution

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering

• Minimum of 12+ years of experience in pipe stress engineering

• Registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) or ability to obtain within 6 months

• Experience with ASME piping codes, ASME Sec VIII Div 1,DIV 2, ASTM piping standards, structural codes, and building and fire codes

• Expert level knowledge of Caesar II, B31.3, Nozzle Pro and allowable nozzle loads

• Hands-on knowledge designing pressure vessels per ASME Sec VIII Div 1

• Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and Bluebeam

• Prior experience with hydrogen service piping

• Experience with slug flow , water hammer, flange leakage check and other dynamic analysis using CAESAR II
