The Junior Boiler Design Engineer supports the engineering team in the design, analysis, and documentation of boiler systems in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section I (Power Boilers) and Section IV (Heating Boilers). This entry-level role involves drafting, calculations, and technical documentation under the guidance of senior engineers to ensure code compliance, operational efficiency, and manufacturing feasibility.
Assist in the design and layout of boiler components including drums, headers, water walls, superheaters, economizers, and nozzles.
Perform basic mechanical calculations such as pressure part thickness, stress analysis, material selection, and thermal expansion, in line with ASME Section I/IV requirements.
Prepare and update design drawings, fabrication details, and bills of materials (BOMs) using CAD/CAE software.
Support preparation of design documents for code stamping, quality assurance, and customer approvals.
Work with senior engineers to ensure compliance with ASME BPVC, National Board, and other applicable codes and standards.
Coordinate with fabrication, procurement, and quality control teams to resolve design-related issues.
Participate in design reviews, failure investigations, and product improvement initiatives.
Maintain accurate engineering records and revision control of technical documents.
Continuously develop knowledge of boiler systems, welding techniques, and fabrication practices.
Code-Based Design Support
Apply ASME Section I/IV rules in pressure part design and documentation under supervision.
CAD & Drafting
Produce clear and accurate mechanical drawings and design packages.
Design Calculations
Assist with calculations for wall thickness, allowable stresses, and safety factors.
Cross-Functional Coordination
Collaborate with manufacturing and QA teams to ensure designs are feasible and compliant.
Documentation & Compliance
Support documentation for code compliance, design approvals, and project records.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field from an accredited institution.
0–2 years of experience in pressure vessel or boiler design (internship or project experience is acceptable).
Basic understanding of ASME BPVC Section I & IV, material codes, and fabrication standards.
Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor); familiarity with CAE tools is a plus.
Strong analytical skills and ability to perform mechanical calculations.
Good communication and teamwork skills.
Attention to detail, discipline in documentation, and eagerness to learn from senior engineers.
