Staff Mechanical Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Staff Mechanical Engineer to join our dynamic team in Houston, TX. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical design and experience working on complex metal components and assemblies.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development and optimization of mechanical structures and assemblies for ammonia cracking and separation systems.
• Own assigned designs from concept through release, including 3D modeling, material selection, structural/thermal analysis, design for manufacturing and assembly, equipment selection, and detailed engineering drawing generation.
• Cook up with cross-functional teams, including FEA/CFD analysis and modeling, manufacturing, process, and testing teams, to complete project objectives.
• Own/track schedules for assigned workstreams and supplier deliverables.
• Contribute to, improve, and maintain mechanical engineering design practices, frameworks, and best-practices.
• Define and maintain mechanical requirements for temperature, pressure, load cycles, leak tightness, manufacturability, inspection, and test acceptance for assigned elevated-temperature devices.
• Provide technical mentorship and training for mechanical engineers, technologists, and technicians.

Requirements

• Minimum Requirements: BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering with 6+ years of professional experience or PhD in Mechanical Engineering with 4+ years of professional experience in energy, aerospace, automotive, or related field.
• Minimum 2+ years of prior experience in leading projects or technical teams.
• Strong understanding of structural and thermal analysis principles, engineering fundamentals, parametric modeling, manufacturing methods, and the product development process.
• Prior experience designing and testing mechanical hardware for severe or regulated service, such as elevated-temperature metal hardware, pressure-boundary equipment, heat-transfer equipment, high-temperature piping, reactors, engines, turbomachinery, process skids, tooling/GSE, or similar energy, aerospace, or industrial hardware.
• Experience in applying standards and code to designs (e.g. ASME/BPVC Sections II-D, III, V, VIII Div 1 and 2; NFPA 86; ASTM, AWS).
• Proficiency/experience in all codes is not required.
• Proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T per ASME Y14.5-2018).
• Previously taken one or more hardware products, subsystems, or production/test tools from concept through prototype, validation, production release, field deployment, or commercialization.
• Excellent organizational skills and proactivity in finding solutions to complex problems.
• Able to work in a fast-paced environment with excellent written and verbal communication skills and communicate timely updates to internal stakeholders.
• No travel restrictions with ability to travel as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• MS in Mechanical Engineering with 8+ years of professional experience or PhD in Mechanical Engineering with 6+ years of professional experience in energy, aerospace, automotive, or related field.
• Expertise in use of ABAQUS, SIMULIA, or ANSYS.
• 4+ years of prior experience in leading projects or technical teams.
• Experience optimizing metal hardware subject to creep, fatigue, thermal cycling, thermal expansion, and pressure loading.
• Direct design or test experience with ammonia, hydrogen, catalytic reactors, combustion systems, turbines, or other high-temperature chemical/energy systems is a plus.
• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI), supplier qualification, manufacturing ramp, nonconformance disposition, root-cause analysis, or field failure resolution.
