Experienced RELAP Safety Analysis Engineer
About The Position
Perform complex engineering assignments involving design, development, analysis, evaluation, testing, specifications, field tasks, and resolution of field problems. Independently review department work products and analyses, propose solutions and work scopes, and work autonomously on most assignments. Ensure compliance with applicable government regulations and organizational, industry, and customer engineering standards. Apply technical techniques, procedures, and criteria using judgment to adapt or modify approaches for unfamiliar tasks. Develop or adapt products, methods, systems, or models that provide value to customers; consider the impact of work on internal and external organizations; contribute to special projects; and suggest and implement process improvements. The role focuses on safety analysis for nuclear energy, with preferred experience in light water reactor thermal-hydraulic and core response during transients, use of RELAP or similar codes to simulate reactor behavior during postulated accidents, and familiarity with U.S. commercial nuclear power plant safety and licensing regulations. Framatome describes its work as supporting reliable, carbon-free energy and offers a compensation and benefits package. The listed salary range is $115,000–$156,000, with possible annual incentives and performance bonuses; individual compensation varies based on qualifications, skills, competencies, and work location.
