Advanced Structural Design Engineer - Military Veterans

Innovate to solve the world's most important challenges

This is an Advanced Structural Design Engineer position based in our Honeywell LNG Headquarters located in Allentown, PA. This position will contribute to the LNG Mechanical Design Engineering (MDE) - External Engineering team.

As a member of the LNG MDE External Engineering team, you will be accountable for all Civil and Structural engineering aspects of LNG Equipment design. You will be responsible for supporting a complex and dynamic LNG equipment business by working across all engineering disciplines, ensuring compliance with engineering standards and project specifications. The person in this role will complete engineering analyses and calculations for structural steel platforms, ladders, railings, and module steel frames related to LNG Coil Wound Heat Exchangers, other Pressure Vessels, Cold Boxes, and Modularized Liquefaction Equipment.

Other duties will include checking and approving of detailed design drawings created by others, reviewing customer specifications, participating in internal and external model review meetings, and supporting heat exchanger design work, bid activities, continuous improvement, manufacturing activities, customer liaison, and field work.

The position requires occasional domestic and international travel.

NATURE AND SCOPE:

The Honeywell Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Mechanical Design Engineering team designs and manufactures specialized Coil Wound Heat Exchangers and other natural gas liquefaction equipment. The equipment is designed by our engineering organization and fabricated at our manufacturing facility in Port Manatee, FL, or other domestic and international 3rd party facilities. Our customers use this equipment to liquefy extracted natural gas, massively improving its transportability as an energy source to end users around the world.

This role will focus on providing Civil and Structural engineering technical support to a complex and dynamic LNG equipment business. It will require performing detailed design on heat exchanger platforms, pipe support systems, cold boxes, and heat exchanger module steel frames, as well as limited foundation design.

The incumbent will also be responsible for managing or performing dynamic structural studies considering environmental conditions such as wind, seismic, or blast loads.
