Senior Component Qualification Engineer 1 - Nuclear
About The Position
This is a mid-level engineering position that offers a variety of interesting and challenging opportunities in component qualification engineering and will provide an excellent opportunity to advance your career. You will collaborate with a team including other component qualification engineers, interface with engineers from other disciplines, and guide the work of less experienced project team members. You will work with an engineering team on projects for new nuclear facilities and upgrades and modifications to nuclear power plants in the following areas: This position will offer you the ability to directly apply your knowledge of component seismic qualification, structural mechanics, foundation load and component mounting analysis, and ASME Code calculations for Section III and Section VIII vessels, valves and pumps. As a member of an engineering team, you will work on a wide range of projects for various clients. You will prepare and review design calculations, review test/analysis qualification reports from vendors, develop specifications, revise client design basis documents and support designers with drawing development. Perform the structural analysis and design of steel panels/cabinets, connections, equipment foundation loads and equipment supports, including the effects from seismic loads. Perform Seismic Qualification activities involving review of seismic test reports and preparation/review of analyses which include seismic loading. There is the potential for travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for construction coordination and field verification of designs.
