Job summary

Quanta Infrastructure Solutions Group seeks a Pipe Stress, Hydraulic & CFD Engineer to design, analyze, and optimize industrial piping and HVAC systems for data centers, cleanrooms and facilities. You will perform stress analysis, hydraulic modeling, and CFD, collaborating with mechanical and controls teams.

2+ years of experience or 10+ years for senior leads is welcomed. A mechanical engineering degree is required; proficiency with CAESAR II, PIPE-FLO, ANSYS Fluent or STAR-CCM+ is preferred.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of relevant engineering experience (early-career).
• 10+ years for senior/technical lead.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with pipe stress analysis, hydraulic modeling, or CFD analysis (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, CAESAR II, AutoPIPE, ROHR2, PIPE-FLO).
• Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and piping/HVAC system behavior.
• Ability to communicate complex analytical findings clearly to non-specialist engineers and project managers.
• Experience level: approximately 2+ years (early-career) or 10+ years (senior/technical lead) — candidates at all qualified levels encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including mechanical and controls engineers.
• Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, specifications, and visualizations summarizing modeling results for internal and client review.
• Stay current on modeling software, industry standards, and best practices in piping, hydraulic, and airflow/thermal analysis.
• Perform pipe stress analysis and flexibility evaluations using CAESAR II, AutoPIPE, ROHR2, or equivalent software.
• Perform hydraulic modeling and flow analysis using PIPE-FLO.
• Analyze pressure drop, flow distribution, control valve performance, pump sizing, and system operating conditions.
• Evaluate piping systems for thermal expansion, sustained loads, occasional loads, vibration, wind, and seismic effects.
• Evaluate equipment nozzle loads and develop support recommendations.
• Build and run CFD models to evaluate airflow, temperature distribution, and thermal performance of HVAC systems and building spaces.
• Analyze and validate design assumptions for critical environments (data centers, labs, cleanrooms).
• Translate CFD results into actionable design recommendations for the engineering team.
• Support commissioning by comparing as-built performance to modeled predictions.
