Probabilistic Risk Assessment Engineer
About The Position
The Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Engineer is responsible for conducting probabilistic risk analyses to support our fast reactor design development, licensing, deployment, and operation. PRA Engineers work with our engineering teams to conduct quantitative risk analyses, including identification of initiating events (via hazards evaluation approaches such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEAs)), development of event trees and fault trees, quantification of event sequence probabilities, and evaluation of event sequence consequences. PRA Engineers also work with our engineering design teams to incorporate risk insights back into the design to drive improvements in reliability and safety.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of work experience
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or similar
- Familiarity with PRA techniques
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Nice To Haves
- Advanced training/education/experience in PRA
- Experience delivering products for regulatory review (DOE authorization, NRC licensing under 10 CFR Parts 50 or 52)
- Experience with PRA software (CAFTA, SAPHIRE, ADAPT, RAVEN, etc.)
- Experience with fast reactor design and analysis
- Experience with hazard analysis (FMEAs, Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOPS), What-if Analysis)
- Experience with transient or source term analysis
- Experience with human reliability analysis
- Experience in operations, maintenance, or engineering support of operating nuclear power plants
Responsibilities
- Developing probabilistic risk analysis models of our fast reactor designs
- Working with our engineering analysis teams to analyze event sequences and compile risk insights
- Using PRA techniques to evaluate external hazards
- Working with our engineering design teams to incorporate risk insights into the design and improve system reliability
- Supporting licensing activities through generation of technical reports, technical analyses, and supporting documentation
