Fluid Systems Analytical Engineer Job in Aikins 29801, South Carolina US

Candidate must demonstrate fifteen (15) years cumulative experience with all facets of fluid systems components design, analysis, fabrication, inspection and aging assessment. 

 

The position requires design and analysis of tanks, pressure vessels, and piping systems for both normal (e.g., pressure, temperature) loads and extreme events (e.g., wind/tornado, earthquakes). Candidate must have experience with all applicable codes; in particular ASME Sections III and VIII, API 650, ASME B 31.1 and B31.3.

 

The position requires seismic qualification of active and passive fluid boundary components (valves, pumps, etc.).  Experience with finite element analysis and SQUG based methods is preferred. Experience with IEEE 344 is preferred.

 

Selection and sizing of pressure relief devices (valves and rupture discs) or control valves based on failure scenarios (i.e., API 520 and API 521), fluid flow, and pressure drop analysis (liquid, steam and gas) is required.  Compliance with the over-pressure protection provisions of ASME Sections I and VIII is required.  Experience with pressure protection requirements of other Codes (e.g., UL, ASHRAE, CGA, NFPA) is desirable.

 

Evaluation of pressure vessel and piping degradation using API 579 methodology is required.  

 

Knowledge of ASME NQA-1 quality process preferred.  Experience with all aspects of a Section VIII U stamp pressure vessel fabrication program is desired.  

 

Familiarity with DOE Orders and standards and experience at SRS are preferred.

 

Candidate must be able to perform field walk-downs to document as-installed conditions.

 

Engineering services shall be provided using SRNS processes and procedures.  Programmatic guidance will be provided by SRNS.

 

 

QUALIFICATIONS:

 

Education:

BS Degree in Mechanical Engineering

 

 

Experience/Skills:

Minimum of 15 years cumulative experience in: Design and analysis of tanks and vessels (ASME III, VIII and API 650 )

 

Minimum of 15 years cumulative experience in: Pipe Stress analysis (ASME B31.1 and B31.3)

 

Minimum of 15 years cumulative experience in: Seismic qualification of fluid boundary components

 

Minimum of 15 years cumulative experience in: Selection and sizing of relief valves and fluid flow pressure drop calculations (API 520, API 521, ASME I and VIII)

 

Minimum of 15 years cumulative experience in: Evaluation of pressure vessel and piping degradation using API 579

 

Ability to perform field walk-downs to document as-installed conditions

A 40 hour work week is scheduled.  SRNS utilizes various work schedules; including 5/8s (8 hours/day; five days per week), 4/10s (10 hours/day; four days per week), and a 9/80s (9 hours/day, five days on week A and 4 days on week B).  Work week excludes SRNS holidays.  Each work day has a 30-minute lunch.

 

A security clearance is not initially required; however, candidate must be capable of obtaining an L or Q clearance if required to perform assigned duties.

 

Finite element analysis experience

 

Familiar with SQUG experience based methods.

 

Experience with IEEE 344

 

Familiar with pressure protection requirements of UL, ASHRAE, CGA and NFPA

 

Familiar with NQA-1 quality program requirements
