Advanced Mechanical Systems Engineer Position Available In Lehigh, Pennsylvania

The Honeywell Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Manufacturing and Design Engineering team specializes in the design and manufacture of Coil Wound Heat Exchangers and other natural gas liquefaction equipment. Our engineering organization designs the equipment, which is fabricated at our manufacturing facility in Port Manatee, FL, as well as at various domestic and international third-party facilities. Our customers utilize this equipment to liquefy extracted natural gas, significantly enhancing its transportability as an energy source for end users worldwide. The Advanced Mechanical Systems Engineer will be based at our Honeywell LNG Headquarters in Allentown, PA. You will contribute to the LNG Manufacturing and Design Engineering (MDE) – Piping and Structural Design & Engineering (PSDE) team, along with other disciplines within the LNG organization. The successful candidate will play a key role in the MDE team, responsible for the selection, specification, and technical requisition of mechanical components within Honeywell LNG’s proprietary liquefaction systems. This includes the specification and design of plant-sized systems utilizing components such as piping, fittings, valves, insulation, coatings, and specialty in-line items. The candidate will also interpret regulatory and customer specifications, manage supply chain technical aspects, conduct system pressure testing, and address system design breaks. The incumbent will ensure that all mechanical systems comply with engineering standards, industry standards, safety regulations, project specifications, and company policies. The position requires occasional domestic and international travel.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Function as the Mechanical Systems Engineering Subject Matter Expert within the Honeywell LNG Organization.
• Interface with cross-functional disciplines such as Piping Design, Piping Stress Engineering, Process Controls, Machinery Engineering, Procurement, Process Safety, and Process Systems Engineering during Basic Engineering and Design or on projects from conceptual phase through project execution.
• Develop and/or select specifications for piping, manual valves, control valves, insulation, coatings, and fittings for various fluid services, temperatures, and pressures related to LNG applications, creating new project or application-specific specifications as necessary.
• Maintain the library of Honeywell LNG mechanical component specifications, standards, selection processes, and review procedures, ensuring alignment with other Honeywell businesses, industry standards (ASME, API, EN), and regulatory requirements.
• Review Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) at every stage of a bid or project to ensure safe operation, start-up, shut-down, maintenance, and overall integrity based on material type, temperature, pressure, and service.
• Create pressure test diagrams according to

ASME B31.3

Code for Process Piping or similar industry codes.

• Review changes in P&ID process scope and design, updating specified Mechanical System components accordingly.
• Manage technical requisition deliverables for manual valves, control valves, and other in-line piping equipment (such as strainers and other specialty inline components), reviewing vendor proposals and drawings, and qualifying new vendors.
• Calculate required piping thickness based on internal and external pressures.
• Collaborate with Process Engineering and the Startup Team for the selection of control valves for LNG applications.
• Review customer/EPC specifications, industrial standards, and regulatory requirements to align the scope of supply during the project bid phase.
• Participate in safety assessments and ensure adherence to environmental regulations throughout the design phase.
• Occasionally participate in plant visits and international field repair trips.
