Nuclear Risk-Informed Design Engineer

Cynet Systems • Charlotte, NC

5d

About The Position

This experienced engineering contractor independently collaborates with internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams to develop and implement risk-informed tools and processes that enhance nuclear safety, operational decision-making, and regulatory compliance. The role requires advanced system and/or design engineering expertise, sound judgment, and the ability to deliver high-quality work with minimal supervision and rework.

Workers at this level solve complex problems in engineering areas of specialization with general supervision. They are expected to develop advanced skills and work with greater independence, applying fundamental concepts and procedures to fairly complex and varied work.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of relevant plant or corporate nuclear experience.
• Experience in the utility industry at a site or station, preferably in Engineering or Operations.
• Familiarity with fundamental BWR or PWR plant systems.
• Proficiency in researching engineering and design issues, evaluating alternatives, making sound recommendations, and preparing and presenting recommendations.
• Bachelor's degree.

Nice To Haves

• SRO certification, RO or SRO license, or Technical Nuclear certification.
• Advanced knowledge of probabilistic risk assessment methodologies and risk-informed applications (e.g., RI-ISI, 10 CFR 50.69, and risk-informed technical specifications) and related regulatory requirements.
• Probabilistic Risk Assessment experience.
• Proficiency in project management principles; an MBA and/or PMP designation is viewed favorably.

Responsibilities

• Develop technical bases and supporting documentation for 10 CFR 50.69 categorizations, Surveillance Test Risk-Informed Documented Evaluation (STRIDE in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program), and Risk Informed Completion Times.
• Research and provide reference documentation to third parties.
• Conduct reviews of products with site resources.
• Research and resolve system design and operations questions that arise from project activities.
• Provide engineering and technical expertise to identify, analyze, and resolve complex issues; assess impacts on a system and fleet-wide basis; and communicate options and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Plan and execute assigned work, including estimating, scheduling, and status reporting; manage multiple workstreams where limited standardization exists and solutions require independent problem solving within the area of expertise.
• Prepare and maintain thorough and accurate technical reports, correspondence, calculations, analyses, and supporting documentation; recommend process and standards enhancements as appropriate.
• Establish effective working relationships with engineering, operations, licensing, and other stakeholders.
