*Mechanical Engineer 5

Description

• Engineering design and piping stress engineering analysis in the nuclear industry.
• Performs piping design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III Class 1, 2, and 3 piping components using the ANSYS computer program in accordance with the requirements of NB-3200.
• Performs pipe support design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III NF supports using hand calculations or ANSYS computer program.
• Certifies design specification for ASME BPVC Section III Piping and/or Piping Supports
• Leads the evaluation of design solutions (piping re-route, reconfigurations of supports, etc) which satisfy piping stress criteria.
• Quality Assurance: Commits to the understanding and implementation of quality assurance regulations, standards and guidelines of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, and ASME NQA-1.
• Provides oversight and mentoring to early career engineers in the area of piping stress analysis and/or pipe support analysis.
• Interprets scope and project requirements.
• Prepare and review engineering specifications, drawings, CAD models, and other documentation that communicate the design and technical aspects of piping components associated with NSSS systems. The development of Drawings and CAD models is based on collaboration with drafters and requires the engineer to reviews models that have been developed in Siemens NX.
• Performs complex piping design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III Class 1, 2, and 3 piping systems using the Bentley AutoPIPE computer program in accordance with the requirements of NB, NC, ND-3600, respectively.
• Problem solving: Identifies and resolves problems in a timely manner, gathers and reviews information appropriately. Uses own judgment and acts independently; seeks input from other team members as appropriate for complex or sensitive situations.
• Performs static and dynamic analysis including response spectrum and time history analysis to calculate stresses due to deadweight, thermal expansion, thermal gradients, seismic events, and fluid transients.
• The employee frequently is required; to sit and stand; walk; bend, use hands to operate office equipment; and reach with hands and arms.
• Acquires, maintains and develops training qualifications.
• Planning/organizing: Prioritizes and plans work activities, organizes personal and project timelines and deadlines, tracks project timelines and deadlines, and uses time efficiently.

Requirements

• Dependability: Consistently on time and at work, responds to management expectations and solicits feedback to improve performance.
• Experience: Minimum of 15 years of highly relevant, full-time engineering experience is required. Experience with the qualification of piping systems including ball joints is desirable. Subject Matter Expertise in one or more of the following areas:
• Ability to travel nationally and locally using common forms of transportation.
• Oral/written communication: Listens carefully and speaks clearly and professionally in all situations. Edits work for accuracy and clarity, is able to create, read and interpret complex written information. Ability to develop strong interpersonal networks within the organization.
• Industry Requirements: Eligible to work under Department of Energy 10 CFR Part 810.
• Works on complex tasks in multiple and diverse areas.
• Team Building: Capable of developing strong interpersonal networks and trust within the organization. Leads consensus by involving all stakeholders, facilitating their understanding of differences, agreeing on requirements and constraints, and developing the best solution.
• Bentley AutoPIPE or other comparable pipe analysis code.
• Possesses excellent knowledge in functional discipline and its practical application and has detailed knowledge of applicable industry codes, standards and regulations
• Ability to learn new job functions and comprehend and understand new concepts quickly and apply them accurately in a rapidly evolving environment.
• Ability to understand and communicate clearly using a phone, personal interaction, and computers.
• Safety Culture: Adheres to the NuScale Safety culture and is expected to model safe behavior and influence peers to meet high standards.
• ASME Section III Class 1, 2, and 3 piping systems (NB/NC/ND-3600) and/or piping supports (NF).
• Education/Certification: A minimum of a B.S. degree in Engineering, preferably Nuclear or Mechanical Engineering, from a four year ABET accredited college or university is required. Advanced degree is preferred. PE License in Mechanical or Nuclear Engineering is required. Certifying Engineer experience to ASME BPVC Section III is required.
• Adaptability: Adapts to changes in the work environment, manages competing demands and is able to deal with frequent interruptions, changes, delays, or unexpected events.
