RELAP Safety Analysis Engineer III
About The Position
Framatome is hiring a RELAP Safety Analysis Engineer III to perform varied and non-standard engineering assignments, including design, development, analysis, evaluation, testing, specification preparation, field-task execution, field-problem resolution, and quality-event resolution. The engineer works autonomously on most assignments with minimal assistance, applying technical judgment to select and adapt techniques, procedures, and criteria for tasks not previously performed. The role ensures compliance with government regulations and organizational, industry, and customer engineering standards. It also involves developing knowledge of the organization, processes, and customers; supporting special projects; suggesting and implementing process improvements; and maintaining a safety mindset. Preferred experience includes light-water reactor behavior and thermal-hydraulic and core response during transients, RELAP or similar reactor-system simulation codes, and U.S. commercial nuclear power plant safety and licensing regulations. Framatome describes its work as supporting nuclear plants and developing outage services, nuclear fuel technologies, and reactor innovations. The company has more than 2,400 employees across North America. The position offers a stated salary range of $100,000–$110,000, potentially with annual incentives and performance bonuses; individual total compensation may vary based on qualifications, skills, competencies, and work location. Offers are contingent on a background check and drug screen where applicable. The position may involve access to information subject to U.S. export control regulations, and applicants must meet applicable eligibility requirements.
