Thermal Engineer

API is growing rapidly, and we're looking for a Senior Thermal Design Engineer to help lead the way. You'll design and optimize shell-and-tube and gasketed plate heat exchangers, owning projects from thermal rating through manufacturing support — alongside a world-class global team of thermal professionals pushing the boundaries of heat transfer technology.

• →Thermal Rating: Perform thermal design and sizing of shell-and-tube and plate-type heat exchangers for situations involving single and multi-phase flows and phase change.
• →Software Simulation: Utilize HTRI and other packages along with API proprietary programs.
• →Spec Verification: Review customer data sheets, piping diagrams, and process specifications.
• →Cross-Functional Support: Collaborate with mechanical design engineers to ensure code compliance to ASME, CRN, PED, ABS, and other relevant codes.
• →Client Consultation: Provide technical support to sales teams and interface directly with clients on an as-needed basis.

• →Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering, Master’s degree preferred.
• →Accreditation: Degree must be from an ABET-accredited university.
• →Experience: 3 to 5 years of professional experience in thermal design.
• →Exchanger Expertise: Proven track record sizing shell-and-tube and plate heat exchangers for single and multi-phase fluids.
• →Software Skills: Proficient with HTRI or Aspen EDR software.
• →Fluid Dynamics: Strong foundational knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
• →Communication: Clear technical writing and verbal communication skills.  English proficiency required.

• Industry Standards: Familiarity with TEMA standards and ASME Section VIII, Division 1.
• Research & Development:  Experience with laboratory testing of thermal products
• Local Presence: Current residency in or willingness to relocate to the Buffalo, NY area.
