Pipeline Transportation

About the position

At TDW, we prioritize our people, ensuring that the pipelines running through our communities operate safely and reliably. As a Mechanical Engineer II, you will be integral to our commitment to excellence, utilizing your expertise and experience to contribute to our engineering efforts. This role involves performing detailed engineering analyses using CAE software packages, particularly ANSYS, alongside hand calculations to validate new products and enhance existing ones. You will collaborate with other CAE engineers to conduct peer reviews on software settings and outputs, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and reliability in our analyses. Your responsibilities will include analyzing complex geometries and systems using ANSYS Workbench, covering various types of analysis such as structural (both elastic and elastic-plastic), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and thermal analysis. You will verify analysis results against physical testing data to refine assumptions and improve the accuracy of your work. Clear communication is essential, as you will be required to write reports detailing boundary conditions, assumptions, materials, and the outputs of your analyses. Additionally, you will provide design change recommendations and make minor geometry modifications during design iterations. As part of your role, you will also be responsible for peer reviewing the analyses and calculations performed by other CAE engineers, ensuring that all work meets our rigorous standards. You will present technical updates on project progress and new findings, contributing to the collaborative environment at TDW. Other job responsibilities may be assigned as needed, reflecting the dynamic nature of our work and the importance of adaptability in this role.
