Electric Hydrogen

Electric Hydrogen’s mission is to make molecules to decarbonize our world! Our outstanding people are our most important asset and will allow us to deliver hydrogen from renewable electrolysis for heavy industry, at prices below fossil fuels. 

We are looking for a Senior Pipe Stress Engineer to join our product engineering team. You will play an important role in the development of renewable hydrogen product plants at industrial scale. You will design our next generation of hydrogen plants and carry your design ideas from prototype and pilot scale testing into implementation in our product scale customer plants. You will work with the process, structural and mechanical design engineering team to manage design requirements, improve scope interfaces and generate piping designs which guide the cost of electrolytically generated hydrogen lower than the costs of fossil hydrogen. 

You will be based in San Carlos, CA and can work on a hybrid basis. You will report to the Director of Mechanical Design Engineering, Fluid Systems.

Role and Responsibilities

• Perform piping flexibility analysis and computational pipe stress analysis on different piping systems in CAESAR II per B31.3 
• Specify guide, anchor, and support types, including identifying alternate materials or suppliers if lead times are longer then a project schedule allows 
• Review design work performed by others on the Process Design Team, including 3D design work in Revit/plant3D/CADWORX to ensure every design meet pipe stress analysis intent and requirements
• Generate bills of material for supports, guides, anchors, stops, flex joints, expansion joints, etc. for procurement 
• Effectively communicate the impact of stress analysis on various designs and escalate concerns with schedule and lead time of materials 
• Serve as Subject Matter Expert on pipe stress and pipe support design including ASME and ASTM codes 
• Lead and mentor/ contract engineers/ high value engineering partners / junior pipe stress analysis engineer’s working on the project 
• Review and approve final design documents for piping systems, including isometrics, shop drawings, material submittals, pipe support designs, etc. 
• Participate in onsite construction and commissioning activities by serving as the point of contact for technical questions and real-time issue resolution 
• Continually develop and improve upon project workflows and standards to ensure each design is consistently excellent 

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering 
• Minimum of 8+ years of experience in pipe stress engineering 
• Registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) or ability to obtain within 6 months 
• Deep understanding of ASME piping codes, ASTM piping standards, structural codes, and building and fire codes 
• Expert level knowledge of Caesar II, B31.3, Nozzle Pro and allowable nozzle loads 
• Experience with slug flow , water hammer, flange leakage check and other dynamic analysis using CAESAR II
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam 
• Experience with pipe layout and routing
• Experience working in a highly cross functional environment with multiple disciplines (structural, process, HVEC teams) 
• Prior experience with hydrogen service piping, Victaulic piping will be a plus
