Pressure Systems Mechanical Engineer
*

This position will require working as an engineer in the Pressure Systems Recertification Group. This department performs and evaluates structural integrity assessments on piping and pressure vessels to ensure that aging high pressure systems on center do not surpass their end of life and can continue to operate safely. These pressurized systems include wind tunnels and process and utility piping. Process and utility piping includes cryogenic liquids, hydraulics, liquid fuels, and high pressure gases such as air, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, silane, and methane.

Type of work includes, but is not limited to\:

Code calculations per national consensus standards such as ASME BPVC Section VIII and ASME B31.3. Experience using COMPRESS - Pressure Vessel Code Analysis software desirable. Backpressure calculations of (PSV) pressure safety valves. NDT including (VT) visual inspection and taking (UTT) ultrasonic thickness measurements. Inspections and creation of inspection reports documenting rejectable findings and proposing modifications to in-service inspection plans. Providing technical information for proposed modifications, repair packages, and construction packages. *
