Piping Stress Engineer 3 - Nuclear

Piping Engineering & Analysis Synopsis

The Piping Engineering & Analysis discipline performs evaluations for piping systems in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.7, and other codes as applicable to the specific evaluation being performed. The discipline also performs specialty topics such as:

• Vibration monitoring and analysis to evaluate system operational vibrations associated with plant modifications and operating events, and to provide vibration prevention and mitigation solutions and designs.
• Evaluation of hydraulic transients, evaluation of piping systems for thermal stratification effects, operability evaluations, and qualification of piping for hydrodynamic loads.
• Pipe rupture evaluations, evaluation of pipe wall thinning due to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) or microbiological induced corrosion (MIC), and pipe flaw evaluations.

Provides technical support on projects by performing a variety of engineering tasks such as preparing calculations, specifications, and component designs. Is technically involved in the resolution of simple design problems. Most tasks are performed under minimal supervision.

• Prepares complex calculations. Reviews simple calculations.
• Reviews simple system/structural designs.
• Prepares, under supervision, documented design input for drawing production (i.e., P&IDs and Master Diagrams).
• Prepares specifications for most balance of plant equipment.
• Prepares bid evaluations for single components. Prepares calculations to support economic evaluations. Solicits data from vendors.
• Prepares simple reports/studies.
• Provides input to project budgets, schedules, and project work plans. Monitors own work to ensure it is completed within budget and on schedule.
• Uses effective written and oral communication skills to convey information to project team members and managers. Presents written technical information in a clear and concise manner in all deliverables.
• Communicates with vendors via clearly written and complete specifications.
• Applies accepted standards and processes to assigned project tasks.
• Completes work assignments within established schedule.
• May mentor entry‑level engineers.

Position is based on a hybrid work schedule and requires in‑office work three days per week.

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Aerospace, or Structural/Civil Engineering from an ABET‑approved program, with an emphasis in solid mechanics, structural analysis, theory of elasticity, metallurgy, and finite element analysis.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience.
• Knowledge of ASME B31.1 and ASME B&PV Section III piping codes.
• Knowledge of the design, selection, and application of pipe supporting elements.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• P.E. license.
• Working knowledge of commercially available piping products and their application.
• Ability to navigate a 3D CAD model.
• Experience with AutoPIPE or PIPESTRESS software.
• Knowledge of gas dynamics and hydraulic transients.
• Knowledge of pipe condition assessment.

• Expected to take engineering problems from issue to solution using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost‑effective designs.
• Many engineers build or use automation to create calculations, summarize technical documents, or draft design documentation, including appropriate use of agentic AI tools, with strong engineering judgment and verification of results.
• Programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate calculations, design checks, reporting, or data transformation is valued but not required.
• We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other training in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that helps apply automation or agentic AI to real engineering problems.
