Data Center Pipe Stress Engineer – Seismic & Thermal Analysis

Insight Global; United States; On-site; USD 80,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Insight Global is looking for an engineer to focus on advanced pipe stress and hydraulic analysis for data center infrastructure systems, primarily involving chilled water and related piping networks. This role requires the evaluation of designs to ensure piping systems can withstand extreme stress conditions, including seismic events and operational loads. The ideal candidate should have a background in industries with complex piping systems like oil & gas or nuclear, and the capability to support design-phase projects rather than operational troubleshooting.

Qualifications

• Experience performing pipe stress analysis for fluid piping systems.
• Hands‑on experience evaluating pressure, thermal, and structural stresses in piping.
• Ability to assess whether piping systems can withstand extreme events without failure.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate piping loops for pressure and thermal stresses.
• Analyze designs to validate system resilience under extreme conditions.
• Work closely with internal design teams on new infrastructure systems.
