Senior Pipe Stress Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Pipe Stress 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 generate piping designs which guide the cost of electrolytically generated hydrogen lower than the costs of fossil hydrogen.

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

Role and Responsibilities

• Perform piping flexibility analysis and computational pipe stress analysis on different piping systems in CAESAR II per B31.3
• Specify guide, anchor, and support types, including identifying alternate materials or suppliers if lead times are longer than 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 meet pipe stress analysis intent and requirements
• Generate bills of material for supports, guides, anchors, stops, flex joints, expansion joints for procurement
• Communicate the impact of stress analysis on different designs and escalate concerns with schedule and lead time of materials
• Be the Subject Matter Expert on pipe stress and pipe support design including ASME and ASTM codes
• Lead and mentor/ contract engineers/ high value engineering partners / junior pipe stress analysis engineer's working on the project
• Approve final design documents for piping systems, including isometrics, shop drawings, material submittals, pipe support designs
• Participate in onsite construction and commissioning activities by serving as the contact for technical questions and real-time issue resolution

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering
• Minimum of 8+ years of experience in pipe stress engineering
• Registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) or ability to obtain within 6 months
• Understanding of ASME piping codes, ASTM piping standards, structural codes, and building and fire codes
• Expert level knowledge of Caesar II, B31.3, Nozzle Pro and allowable nozzle loads
• Experience with slug flow , water hammer, flange leakage check and other dynamic analysis using CAESAR II
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and Bluebeam
• Experience with pipe layout and routing
• Prior experience with hydrogen service piping, Victaulic piping
