Plant Radiological Integration Engineer

Designing radiation protection for a first-of-a-kind nuclear reactor requires more than textbook shielding knowledge – it requires someone who can bridge analysis and design in a dynamic, cross-disciplinary environment. If you have deep health physics experience and want to shape how radiological protection is built into an advanced reactor from the ground up, this role is your opportunity.

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: $69 – $115/hr

Benefits: Healthcare – Medical, Dental, Vision; PTO; Some Paid Holidays; Unmatched 401k

Responsibilities:

• Coordinate between design teams working on source term and radiological release analysis, risk analysis, plant operations, and SSC radiological shielding design

• Ensure alignment between assumptions made in radiological analysis and ongoing SSC design work

• Develop Radiation Protection/Shielding design guidance and procedures

• Generate program documents related to Radiation Protection, Shielding, and training

• Pursue optimization requests from operations and design teams to radiological analyses and shielding teams

• Lead cross-cutting analysis and design decisions

• Interface with and support radiological licensing activities associated with Safety Analysis Reports

• Support design reviews as plant systems and subsystems are established and refined

Required Qualifications:

• B.S. in Nuclear, Mechanical, Electrical, or related discipline from an accredited university

• 10+ years of direct experience in design, analysis, and/or operations related to radiological protection/health physics at an operating commercial nuclear facility

• Relevant experience in design of radiation protection elements in a nuclear application

• Experience in shielding and source term analysis

• Experience performing complex geometry analyses with Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) code

• Experience in multi-discipline and multi-organization design integration

• Experience working to quality standards such as ASME NQA-1 or ISO 9001

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous experience with nuclear reactors, nuclear handling process systems, or similar high-performance systems or equipment design
