What is a pump design engineer?

A Pump Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing pumps used in various industries, such as oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing. They use engineering principles, computer-aided design (CAD) software, and fluid dynamics analysis to create efficient and reliable pump systems. Their role involves selecting appropriate materials, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and collaborating with other engineers to improve performance. Additionally, they may conduct testing, troubleshoot design issues, and support the manufacturing process to ensure quality and efficiency.

What are some typical challenges faced by pump design engineers in their daily work?

Pump Design Engineers often face the challenge of balancing efficiency, reliability, and cost while meeting strict industry standards and client specifications. They must solve complex fluid dynamics problems and troubleshoot designs to ensure optimal performance under varying conditions. Engineers frequently collaborate with manufacturing, quality assurance, and field service teams to incorporate feedback and address real-world constraints. Additionally, staying current with new materials and emerging technologies is important for creating innovative, competitive products in this field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a pump design engineer?

A Pump Design Engineer should have a solid background in mechanical or chemical engineering, with expertise in fluid dynamics, hydraulics, and CAD software, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with industry-standard design tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and simulation software, as well as knowledge of codes like ANSI or API, is highly beneficial, and professional certification (e.g., PE licensure) is often advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, clear communication, and teamwork are essential soft skills for success in this field. These skills ensure the engineer can design effective, reliable pump systems that meet safety and performance requirements while collaborating efficiently with multidisciplinary teams.

Job description

Job Title: System Design Engineer, EM Pump Location: Bellevue, WA Type: Contract Compensation: $69.00 - $115.00 Work Model: Remote – offsite Hours: 40.0

Overview: System One is seeking an experienced System Design Engineer to support the design, fabrication, testing, and integration of an electromagnetic (EM) pump for an advanced nuclear energy project. This individual will provide technical ownership of a submersible EM pump operating within a liquid-sodium processing system and coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, and testing personnel.

Responsibilities:

  • Support all aspects of EM Pump design and development.
  • Take ownership and oversight of submersible electromagnetic pump design, fabrication and operation, or its alternative designs.
  • Develop deep understanding of design and modeling behind the current pump design, including thermohydraulic, magnetohydrodynamic, etc. design aspects.
  • Support EM Pump integration into the Processing System steady state and transient thermohydraulic model in Aspen HYSYS Plus.
  • Complete or support analyses, such as thermal, seismic, structural, pipe stress, heat transfer, and/or other analyses performed by others and integrate the results into plant design delivery.
  • Support prototype lab testing of the current pump design and support rapid turnover modifications.
  • Propose and initiate additional testing programs for plant system qualification, as needed.
  • Provide Support and oversight during test execution, evaluation of test results, and reporting of test results.
  • Utilize various codes, including B31.3 and ASME BPVC Sections III and VIII.
  • Perform technical trade studies and decisions to refine pump design.
  • Analyze and allocate regulatory criteria and standards to complex mechanical and process system design.
  • Interface with the design team to create and manage drawing packages to support pump and/or system design.
  • Interface with design disciplines (such as mechanical, instrumentation and controls, civil, and nuclear) to identify and develop plant design information and specify system design and performance criteria.
  • Provide technical direction and oversight of supplier projects, working with the contract administrator to ensure delivery of data and other deliverables, as well as coordination and performance of technical reviews of deliverables.
  • Establish and maintain system requirements and specifications documents, such as Engineering Design Specifications for major pump and supporting equipment.
  • Generate design package for pumps, pump support systems, sub-systems, and equipment designs including coordination of calculations, design reports, mechanical drawings, and engineering design specifications.
  • Develop and review technical design documents, such as System Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, Engineering Design Specifications, etc.
  • Interface with and support licensing activities associated with Safety Analysis Reports.
  • Support design reviews as plant system and subsystem designs are established and refined.
Requirements:
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related discipline from an accredited university and 10+ years direct experience with electromagnetic pumps.
  • Demonstrated experience with thermodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, fluids, heat transfer, materials, system controls and mechanics, gas handling and processing.
  • Deep understanding of electromagnetic pumps in liquid metal environments.
  • Expert level experience using COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB.
  • Experience with CFD/FEA on complex components.
  • Ability to run and understand Aspen HYSYS Plus.
  • Experience with piping systems and the ability to read P&IDs.
  • Experience working with suppliers in development and fabrication of safety-related equipment.
  • Strong understanding of design codes (ASME, BPVC, API).
  • Experience working to quality standards on design activities, such as ASME NQA-1, AS 9100, ISO 9001, or equivalent.
  • Experience in high temperature and multi-discipline integration highly desired.
  • Previous experience with nuclear reactors, nuclear handling process systems, or similar high-performance system or equipment design is highly desired.
  • Supplier/Contractor coordination and oversight experience.
