Job Summary:

Are you a hands-on mechanical engineer with a passion for fluid systems? Centrus Energy is seeking a driven Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team in developing and upgrading advanced process environments. This role offers the perfect blendof technical design, hands-on field support, and professional growth under the mentorship of industry experts. If you are looking to take the next step in your career, designing critical piping infrastructure for liquids and gases, we want to talk to you.


What You Will Be Doing:
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will transition from supporting senior engineers to taking ownership of projects, with growing autonomy over time.
  • Design & System Optimization: Support the design, modification, and layout of facility piping systems, performing crucial component sizing for pumps, motors, heaters, blowers, valves, and pressure vessels.
  • Technical Documentation: Create, update, and redline mechanical/piping drawings, plans, and specifications, ensuring all work complies with code and industry standards.
  • Analysis & Simulation: Perform pressure-drop, flow, and basic thermal calculations; assist with steady-state and transient analyses using CFD, FEA, or spreadsheet tools.
  • Safety & Compliance: Conduct pipe-stress and support-structure checks, documenting results for review, and actively participate in hazard analyses, safety reviews, and quality assurance.
  • Procurement & Vendor Management: Prepare ROMs, equipment lists, and technical evaluations to support procurement.
  • Field Support & Commissioning: Get hands-on with factory acceptance tests, field inspections, and system troubleshooting under the guidance of senior staff.
We'd Love to Hear from Candidates With:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field) from an accredited institution - or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Relevant training such as ASME code familiarization, piping-stress fundamentals, and OSHA or comparable safety coursework is encouraged.
  • (2+) years of hands-on experience as a mechanical designer, technician, or early-career engineer focused on piping, fluid systems, or process equipment in industrial settings.
  • Practical experience supporting equipment sizing and selection for pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and related mechanical components.
  • Familiarity with pressure-drop calculations, pipe-stress concepts, and basic structural checks.
  • Working knowledge of relevant codes and standards such as ASME and applicable welding procedures; familiarity with industrial safety expectations.
  • Exposure to drafting and analysis tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CFD/FEA packages, and/or piping-stress software is preferred.
  • Experience in regulated or process industries (chemical, oil & gas, water/wastewater, manufacturing, or similar) is advantageous.
  • Must possess or have the ability to obtain and maintain a Q Clearance
