Mechanical Engineer 3

Description

• Offers design solutions (piping re-route, reconfiguration of supports, etc.) in order to satisfy piping stress criteria with assistance from subject matter experts.
• 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 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 (preferred).
• Acquires, maintains and develops training qualifications.
• Performs 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.
• Planning/organizing: Prioritizes and plans work activities, organizes personal and project timelines and deadlines, tracks project timelines and deadlines, and uses time efficiently.
• 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.
• Interprets scope and project requirements.
• The employee frequently is required; to sit and stand; walk; bend, use hands to operate office equipment; and reach with hands and arms.
• Performs pipe support design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III NF supports using hand calculations or ANSYS computer program.
• 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 NQA-1.
• 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.

Requirements

• Dependability: Consistently on time and at work, responds to management expectations and solicits feedback to improve performance.
• 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.
• Adaptability: Adapts to changes in the work environment, manages competing demands and is able to deal with frequent interruptions, changes, delays, or unexpected events.
• Industry Requirements: Eligible to work under Department of Energy 10 CFR Part 810.
• Ability to travel nationally and locally using common forms of transportation.
• 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. A professional engineer (P.E.) certification is preferred.
• Experience with design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III piping components using ANSYS computer program in accordance with the requirements of NB-3200 (preferred).
• 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.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of full-time, relevant professional engineering experience is required. Additional required and preferred experience in the following:
• Experience with the Bentley AutoPIPE computer code is desirable (similar code is acceptable).
• Experience with ASME Section III NF (preferred).
• Works on complex tasks in multiple and diverse areas.
• Experience with design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III piping systems in accordance with the requirements of NB, NC, or ND-3600.
• Team Building: Capable of developing strong interpersonal networks and trust within the organization.
