- Apply developed knowledge to complete the detailed design, re-rating, remaining life studies of pressure vessel equipment and piping systems.
- Utilize excellent planning and organizational skills to manage multiple projects concurrently
- Utilize excellent communication skills to work with co-workers and customers, write reports, and make presentations
- Represent UOP in customer meetings and vendors concerning technical matters
- Mentor other analysts individually and by conducting internal training seminars
- Masters in mechanical engineering or M.S. degree with 4-5 years of relevant work experience/ PhD with 2-3 yrs of experience.
- Strong familiarity with the theory and applicability of FEM and its application concepts. Familiarity with principles and application of Boundary Element Method is plus
- Developed proficiency using solid mechanics codes (i.e. ANSYS, ABAQUS, APDL or equivalent)
- Developed knowledge of various vessel, structural, and piping design Codes (i.e. ASME Section VIII, AISC, ASME B31.3, and UBC)
- Developed knowledge of static and dynamic analysis of pressure vessels, piping systems, and support structures (i.e. COMPRES, CAESAR, WRC 107, or equivalent)
- Developed knowledge of fitness-for-service Codes and software (API 579, PREFIS, and REACT)
- Demonstrated expertise in troubleshooting field and equipment piping vibration problems
- Developed knowledge of the design of piping system components (i.e. expansion joints, flanges, gaskets, valves)
- Developed knowledge in computer programming for developing user subroutines (i.e. C++ and/or PYTHON)
- Developed knowledge of CAD (i.e. Microstation 2D and 3D or equivalent)
- Represent UOP in customer and vendor meetings concerning technical matters.
- Developed proficiency is translating physical systems to manageable computer models, and the interpretation and applicability of the results
- Developed knowledge of other mechanical equipment (i.e. heat exchangers, heaters, and rotating equipment) a plus.
- Presents papers at technical meetings and participates in national professional groups and technical organizations.
- Application of Six Sigma methodologies and tools in product development efforts is a plus.
Unique Aspects of job (Travel, Oversees, Overtime, Work hours, etc.)
- Work on a wide variety of unique problems or applications associated with UOP’s technologies individually or as part of multi-disciplined teams
- Determine mechanical feasibility and critical aspects that need to be considered to ensure the final design is able to contain the process for the desired life
- Improve UOP’s mechanical design capabilities through the development of user subroutines, computer tools, and technical policies/procedures
- Enhance UOP’s intellectual property portfolio through issuance of MOI’s and patents
- Opportunity to develop proficiency using fluid mechanics codes (i.e. FLUENT) and competencies associated with chemical engineering and granular solids
- Help evaluate alternative commercial software applications
- Opportunity to represent UOP on technical committees, at conferences, and in organizations related to a technical specialty.
- Light travel < 10%. May increase depending on level of participation at external technical committees and organizations.
