Structural Stress Engineer information

What does a structural stress engineer do?

A Structural Stress Engineer analyzes the strength and stability of structures to ensure they can withstand various loads and stresses during operation. They use engineering principles, mathematical models, and software simulations to evaluate how materials and components respond to forces such as weight, pressure, vibration, and temperature changes. Their work is crucial in industries like aerospace, civil engineering, and automotive manufacturing to ensure safety, compliance, and performance of structures. Structural Stress Engineers often collaborate with design teams to suggest improvements or modifications for greater reliability and efficiency.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a structural stress engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Structural Stress Engineer, you need a solid background in structural analysis, materials science, and engineering principles, typically supported by a degree in mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering. Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) software such as ANSYS or NASTRAN, along with knowledge of relevant industry codes and certifications, is commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly are essential soft skills. These competencies ensure robust, safe, and efficient structural designs that meet stringent performance and regulatory standards.

What are some common challenges structural stress engineers face when working on multidisciplinary projects?

Structural Stress Engineers often collaborate closely with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure that components meet safety and performance standards. A key challenge is balancing the need for structural integrity with design constraints such as weight reduction and manufacturability. This often involves iterative analysis, clear communication across disciplines, and adapting to evolving project requirements. Successful engineers are proactive in resolving discrepancies between analysis results and practical design considerations, and they frequently employ advanced simulation tools to predict and mitigate potential issues.

Job description

About Us

Join a talented team of engineering professionals at Vogt Power International Inc. Vogt is based in Louisville, KY and specializes in the design, manufacture and supply of equipment and solutions to the power generation industry. We are an industry leader in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) with both domestic and international customers.

Position Summary

Vogt Power International is looking for a talented Pipe Stress Engineer to work on a multi-discipline project team to analyze and review the ASME pressure parts and supports associated with our Heat Recovery Steam Generators.

Essential Functions/Responsibilities
  • Perform flexibility analyses for piping systems to ensure stresses are within code allowable limits
  • Develop piping stress models which include all physical properties of the piping, its contents, and insulation
  • Locate and design pipe supports and restraints which maintain static equilibrium and minimize stresses
  • Work directly with our design group to ensure the detailed support designs are created accurately and on schedule
  • Work directly with Piping Designers, Structural Engineers, Product Engineers, Project Engineers, Lead Designers, and others to ensure pipe routing and equipment access is optimized and that loads are properly addressed where piping interfaces with equipment or supports interface with the main structure
  • Use hand calculations, internal spreadsheets, programs, or other tools to determine or validate miscellaneous expansions, stresses, loads, and support designs
  • Perform dynamic analyses to determine loads originating from safety valve opening, steam turbine trip, or other dynamic events
  • Create specifications, lists, requisitions, and review quotes to support the procurement of pipe support material
  • Communicate and coordinate with VPI's customer (or customer's representative) to ensure VPI's piping scope interfaces properly with the customer's piping scope
  • Provide organized and well written reports to describe assumptions, steps taken, and results from work performed
  • Provide leadership by learning, developing, and coordinating new techniques, standardizing procedures, and providing technical instruction and mentoring to department staff
  • Participate in project team and client meetings, as needed
  • Follow all company and department ISO procedures and work instructions
  • Perform other duties as assigned

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

  • Bachelor of Science in an engineering related field with emphasis on statics, dynamics, stress analysis and/or Finite Element Analysis
  • Two years of experience in Heat Recovery Steam Generators or other related piping experience preferred
  • Experience in operating Caesar II or AutoPipe piping analysis software preferred
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel
  • Prior knowledge of ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Codes, with an emphasis on B31.1 is preferred
  • Good communication skills and ability to work well in a team environment

To provide greater transparency to candidates, we include base pay ranges for all US-based job postings that encompass all potential locations and levels for the open position. Our base pay ranges are set based on the function, discipline, level and regional location and are benchmarked against companies in the same or similar industry.
