4+ years expNuclear Talent Scout is seeking a Nuclear Engineer specializing in thermal hydraulics analysis to support the deployment of new nuclear facilities. The role involves generating thermal hydraulic models, creating licensing documentation, and participating in various analyses related to nuclear reactor designs.
Staffing & Recruiting
Hiring Manager
Angel Pruiett
Responsibilities
Generate thermal hydraulic models (i.e., create base decks) of nuclear reactor primary circuits (and portions of steam generators), validate such models, and utilize such models to enhance the normal operational designs and confirm accident response of new nuclear reactors
Scaling, constructing, and running thermal hydraulic test facilities under nuclear quality assurance standards as needed to support model accuracy
Participate in phenomenon identification and ranking table (PIRT) panels
Support the creation of licensing documentation associated with the results of thermal hydraulics analysis
Travel to support testing facilities or industry conferences up to 20%
This role may involve computational fluid dynamics (CFD), heat exchanger design optimization, system level analysis, best estimate plus uncertainty (BEPU) analysis, thermal hydraulic stability modeling, severe accident modeling (beyond design basis), subchannel analysis, critical heat flux, software quality assurance, and conservative deterministic safety analysis (NUREG-0800 Chapter 15 small and large break LOCA)
Applicants capable of doing a larger percentage of these inter-related tasks to accomplish complex nuclear reactor design tasks independently will be given priority
Qualification
Required
BS, MS, or PhD in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
Proficiency in a number of thermal hydraulics related software RELAP, TRACE, GOTHIC, Ansys Fluent, MELCOR, MAAP, STAR-CCM+, or similar nuclear specific software
The ability to document and defend your work
The ability to mentor junior personnel
Four years of relevant thermal hydraulic experience (at least two years of which were in nuclear industry specific applications that interfaced heavily with DOE, NRC, or similar)
15+ years of experience in nuclear specific thermal hydraulics related work required for higher end of the pay range
Preferred
Experience modeling light water reactors and exotic advanced reactor fluids (e.g., molten salt, lead, sodium, etc.) is strongly preferred
But experience with only one fluid is acceptable
Benefits
Competitive salary
401(k) with match
Health, dental & vision insurance
