Piping Stress Engineer, Infrastructure Programs

Description:
Tesla Infrastructure Engineering is looking for an experienced Piping Stress Engineer to join our engineering team in a dynamic environment focused on executing industrial projects. In this role, you will perform the analysis and design of piping systems to ensure structural integrity, safety, and compliance with industry standards. The ideal candidate has strong problem-solving skills, capable of collaborating across multidisciplinary teams, and is comfortable executing large capital projects in a accelerated time-frame.

Responsibilities:
Conduct comprehensive stress analysis of piping systems using software tools (e.g., CAESAR II) to evaluate thermal, seismic, wind, and operational loads
Design and optimize piping layouts, supports, and restraints to mitigate stresses, vibrations, and potential failures
Perform pipe flexibility analysis, including nozzle load evaluations and support design, ensuring adherence to codes such as ASME B31.3, API standards, and local regulations
Review and approve piping isometrics, stress reports, and design drawing
Collaborate with process, mechanical, and civil/structural teams to integrate designs
Perform risk assessments, including fatigue analysis, dynamic simulations, and pressure vessel interactions

Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a equivalent experience
Minimum 3-5 years of experience in piping stress engineering
Proficiency in piping analysis software (CAESAR II) and design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Navisworks, and Bluebeam)
Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) and associated software, FE-Pipe/NozzlePro
In-depth knowledge of piping codes (ASME, API, MSS) and industry standards
Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex data and troubleshoot issues in high-pressure, fast-paced environments
Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly desirable, but not required
