The Risk Analysis Engineer is responsible for conducting probabilistic/quantitative risk analyses (PRAs/QRAs) to support Oklo’s used nuclear fuel (UNF) recycling facility design, licensing, deployment, and operation. Risk analysis engineers work with other members of Oklo’s recycling facility engineering design teams to conduct PRAs/QRAs of Oklo’s UNF recycling facility, including identification of initiating events, development of event trees and fault trees, quantification of event sequence probabilities, and evaluation of event sequence consequences. Risk insights from these studies are incorporated into the design to drive improvements in reliability and safety.

  • Developing PRA/QRA models of the Oklo UNF recycling facility
  • Working with other members of the Oklo recycling engineering teams to identify and analyze event sequences, compile risk insights, and incorporate risk insights into the recycling facility design to maximize system availability, reliability, and safety
  • Applying PRA techniques to evaluate both internal process hazards and external natural phenomena hazards
  • Supporting licensing activities through generation of technical reports, technical analyses, and supporting documentation
  • Bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related field; a master’s or Ph.D. is highly desirable
  • 3-5 years of experience in nuclear safety or similar environment
  • Experience conducting Hazard and Operability (HAZOP), Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA), and/or other process hazard analysis methodologies
  • Demonstrated expertise in methodologies and software used for nuclear PRA/QRA (e.g., CAFTA, SAPHIRE, ADAPT, RAVEN, etc.)
  • Knowledge of nuclear fuel cycle processes and nuclear fuel cycle facility accident scenarios
  • Knowledge of used nuclear fuel recycling technologies is highly desirable
  • Knowledge of applicable nuclear safety regulations and guidance documents
  • Experience with fuel cycle facility design and analysis
  • Experience with uncertainty-, transient-, and/or source term analyses
  • Experience with human reliability-, external hazards-, and fire hazards analyses
  • Experience with Python or other computer codes
  • Experience in operations, maintenance, or engineering support of operating fuel cycle facilities
  • Flexible time off
  • Equity
  • Competitive pay
  • 401k
  • Health insurance
