Plant Integrated Analysis Engineer

Advanced nuclear is no longer a concept – it’s being built. If you’re an engineer who wants your thermal-hydraulic and control system expertise to directly shape the future of clean energy, this is the role you’ve been looking for.

What This Role Offers

Location: Remote

Full-Time | Remote | 12-Month Contract | High likelihood of extension based on performance/job needs

Schedule: M-F

Salary Range: $37 – $74

Benefits: Healthcare (Medical, Dental, Vision), PTO, Some Paid Holidays, Unmatched 401k

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain RELAP5-3D models for steady-state and transient one-dimensional network hydraulic analyses

• Design and implement plant-level control strategies and component-level controllers

• Perform first-principles calculations in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics to support and validate analysis results

• Analyze reactor normal operations, upset events, emergency events, and faulted events to establish design, service, and test loadings and limits

• Evaluate plant-wide transients for operation narratives and design solutions

• Conduct multiscale, multidisciplinary control analyses involving sodium, molten salt, and non-condensable fluid thermal hydraulics

• Collaborate across engineering disciplines – including safety, I&C, component, system, fuel, and control system design teams – to integrate analysis into program-level deliverables

Qualifications

• B.S. or higher degree in Nuclear, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering

• Demonstrated experience with nuclear system codes – RELAP5 or TRACE is required

• Strong thermal-hydraulic analytical skills including one-dimensional hydraulic network analysis and transient analysis

• Experience with modeling control systems and I&C is highly desirable

• Experience with nuclear power plant design or operations is desirable

• Experience developing new analytical methods is a plus

• Strong technical writing skills with ability to produce rigorous engineering documentation
