Staff Engineer- Mechanical Design

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the detailed mechanical design of assigned reactor assemblies – tubes, end fittings, manifolds, supports and heater housings – for high-pressure, high-temperature service, working to the design basis set by the Principal Engineer

• Prepare design calculations for pressure, thermal expansion and wall thickness, and run thermal and structural FEA on high-temperature nickel-alloy components

• Develop 3D models, fabrication drawings, GA drawings and BOMs, and check them against ASME B31.3 / Section VIII or equivalent requirements

• Design practical solutions for thermal expansion of hot tubes and connections, such as expansion loops, bellows and sliding supports

• Review drawings and calculations prepared by associate engineers, and help them grow their design skills

• Present designs at design reviews and incorporate review comments before release

• Prepare fabrication, welding, inspection and pressure/leak test requirements for your designs; coordinate with vendors and support inspections and tests

• Work with the process, CFD and electrical & instrumentation teams so that designs match flow, temperature, heater and instrument requirements

• Support assembly, installation and commissioning of reactor systems on the shop floor

• Investigate mechanical failures of tubes, fittings and seals during continuous operation, and propose design improvements

• Prepare DFMEA for your designs and take part in HAZOP and management of change reviews

• Maintain design calculations, drawing revisions and design records

• Follow all EHS procedures, including safe working around toxic and high-pressure gasses, permit-to-work and lockout/tag out

Requirements

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering; Master's degree is a plus

•3–5 years of experience in mechanical design of pressure or high-temperature equipment such as reactors, furnaces, heat exchangers, pressure vessels or process skids

• Hands-on experience with pressure-part design calculations to ASME Section VIII / B31.3 or equivalent

• Working knowledge of FEA (ANSYS or equivalent) for thermal and structural analysis

• Proficiency in SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD, GD&T and engineering drawing standards

• Understanding of welding, NDT and inspection practices for fabricated equipment

• Experience taking at least one design through fabrication and testing

• Exposure to high-temperature alloys, creep, high-pressure gas systems or compression fittings and tubing is a plus

• Willingness to take ownership and work in a fast-paced start-up environment

• Good verbal and written communication skills

LOCATION

This position is based at NoPo Nanotechnologies' facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka, and is a full-time, on-site role given the hands-on nature of reactor design, fabrication and testing.
