It is a multidisciplinary position combining engineering analysis, system modeling, and collaboration across various technical fields.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and refine RELAP5-3D models for steady-state and transient hydraulic network simulations.
• Design plant-level control strategies and develop component-specific controller models.
• Conduct validations using fundamental heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics calculations.
• Analyze scenarios including normal operation, upset conditions, emergencies, and faults to define design criteria and operational limits.
• Perform comprehensive transient analyses at the plant level to guide design and operational decisions.
• Lead multidisciplinary control studies involving thermal hydraulics of sodium, molten salt, and non-condensable fluids.
• Integrate component, system, fuel, and control system concepts with thermal-hydraulic experimental data.
• Collaborate closely with safety, instrumentation and controls, and design engineering teams to resolve technical issues.
• Innovate analytical techniques and improve existing modeling methodologies as required.
• Prepare clear technical documentation and communicate engineering analyses effectively.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Nuclear, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Practical experience using system analysis software such as RELAP5 or TRACE.
• Strong expertise in thermal-hydraulic analysis, 1D hydraulic network modeling, and transient system simulation.
• Knowledge of control system and instrumentation & control (I&C) modeling is highly advantageous.
• Prior experience or familiarity with nuclear power plant design or operations is preferred.
• Experience contributing to the development of novel analytical methods or engineering approaches is beneficial.
• Excellent technical writing skills for documentation purposes.
• Strong communication skills facilitating collaboration within multidisciplinary teams.
• Professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to team-oriented work environments.

Compensation and Benefits

• Hourly pay between $37 and $74.
• Fully remote working arrangement.
• Full-time contractual employment.
• Involvement in innovative nuclear energy technology projects.
• Exposure to cutting-edge reactor system development and cross-disciplinary engineering efforts.
• Collaboration with expert technical teams focused on safety, controls, and design.
