About The Position

Designs and analyzes mechanical systems, equipment and packaging. Primary role is as a stress and structural analyst analyzing structures, systems. and components used in the design of DOE and commercial nuclear power plants. Analyzes and conducts feasibility studies and testing on new and modified designs. Directs support personnel in the preparation of detailed design, design testing and prototype fabrication. Prepares calculations and reports including design reports. Utilizing both computer-aided engineering (CAE) and hand calculations the individual will prepare CAE models for fatigue, static and dynamic/ nonlinear structural, fracture analyses, with steady state and transient thermal, seismic loadings. Experience performing computational fluid dynamic (CFD) is a plus. Working knowledge and experience using ANSYS and SolidWorks is required. Engineer will be required to prepare and review detailed analysis reports performed to the rigor of NQA-1 quality program.
Familiarity or experience designing and analyzing systems and equipment to the requirements of ASME III Div. 1, ASME III Div. 5, ASME VIII Siv 1 & 2, AISC or ASCE Design Codes and standards used in commercial or Government nuclear power or fuel processing plants a strong plus. Works on the design of systems and equipment that support the DOE and commercial nuclear, including Advanced Reactor or Small Modular Reactor (Generation III, III + and Generation IV), fusion reactor and nuclear fuel processing markets.
Works on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors. Relies on extensive experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals. A wide degree of creativity and latitude is expected determine methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.
Exercises judgment in selecting methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. Networks with key contacts outside own area of expertise. Determines critical methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate activities of other personnel.
