Nuclear engineering

Working at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory we foster pride in belonging to an organization whose culture is made up of these core values: Our company encourages diversity and inclusion in all its forms while ensuring the safety and reliability of our nation's naval nuclear reactors, and training the Sailors who operate those reactors in the U.Navy's submarines and aircraft carrier Fleets. The Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) has established the Advanced Technology Innovation Pipeline (ATIP) to deliver revolutionary improvements in cost savings, time-to-market, fleet availability, and reactor performance to the US Navy by evaluating and developing new technologies. The Applied Informatics unit in the ATIP organization is seeking an engineer to accelerate the development and deployment of digital engineering practices, including efforts to integrate modeling and sensing to improve the quality and quantity of data available to improve reactor plant performance, develop alternate or optimized plant operations or maintenance programs, and reduce reactor plant size or cost.

They will be responsible for performing market research, performing proof of principle analyses, and planning and executing research and development tasks leveraging internal resources and external subcontracts in one or more of the following technology areas:
• Digital Engineering tool integration
• Integrated plant and plant system concept design and analysis support using an integrated digital environment
• Model-sensor-fusion development and application
• Development and application of system and component digital twins
• Data acquisition and signal processing
