Job summary

NoPo Nanotechnologies in Bengaluru seeks a Staff Engineer - Mechanical Design to own the detailed design of reactor assemblies for high-pressure, high-temperature service. You will develop 3D models, fabrication drawings and BOMs, and ensure compliance with ASME B31.3/Section VIII.

You will perform pressure/thermal calculations, run FEA, and mentor junior engineers while coordinating with process, CFD and E&I teams on shop-floor assembly and testing.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering; Master's degree is a plus.
• 3-5 years of experience in mechanical design of pressure or high-temperature equipment such as reactors, furnaces, heat exchangers, pressure vessels or process skids.
• Hands-on experience with pressure-part design calculations to ASME Section VIII / B31.3 or equivalent.
• Working knowledge of FEA (ANSYS or equivalent) for thermal and structural analysis.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD, GD&T and engineering drawing standards.
• Understanding of welding, NDT and inspection practices for fabricated equipment.
• Experience taking at least one design through fabrication and testing.
• Exposure to high-temperature alloys, creep, high-pressure gas systems or compression fittings and tubing is a plus.
• Willingness to take ownership and work in a fast-paced start-up environment.
• Good verbal and written communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Own the detailed mechanical design of reactor assemblies for high-pressure, high-temperature service.
• Prepare design calculations for pressure, thermal expansion and wall thickness; run thermal/structural FEA on nickel-alloy components.
• Develop 3D models, fabrication drawings, GA drawings and BOMs; verify against ASME requirements.
• Design solutions for thermal expansion (expansion loops, bellows, sliding supports).
• Review drawings and calculations by associates and mentor them.
• Present designs at design reviews and incorporate feedback before release.
• Prepare fabrication, welding, inspection and pressure/leak test requirements; coordinate with vendors and inspections.
• Collaborate with process, CFD, and E&I teams to match flow, temperature and instrument requirements.
• Support assembly, installation and commissioning on shop floor.
• Investigate failures and propose design improvements; prepare DFMEA; participate in HAZOP and MOC reviews.
• Maintain design calculations, drawing revisions and design records.
• Follow EHS procedures around toxic/high-pressure gases, permit-to-work and lockout/tag out.
