Responsibilities
- Reactor Core Simulation: Develop and maintain computational models for reactor physics and thermal-hydraulic behavior using tools like Serpent, MCNP, and OpenMC.
- Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis: Perform subchannel thermal-hydraulic simulations to evaluate coolant flow dynamics and heat transfer within advanced reactor cores.
- Shielding Analysis: Conduct shielding analyses employing sophisticated variance reduction techniques to ensure effective radiation protection.
- Fuel Performance & Thermomechanical Modeling: Use multi-physics platforms (MOOSE, BISON, BISON-MARMOT) for in-depth thermomechanical analysis of reactor components, evaluating stresses, deformation, and material performance under operational conditions.
- Uncertainty Quantification: Implement uncertainty quantification methods to enhance model robustness and confidence in simulation outcomes.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with multidisciplinary teams, driving innovation and problem-solving in reactor core and system design.
Requirements
Required:
- MS or PhD in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related fields.
- At least 5–7 years of relevant industry or research experience in nuclear reactor design, computational modeling, or related fields.
- Hands-on experience with computational and analysis software such as Serpent, MCNP, OpenMC, MOOSE, BISON, TRANSURANUS, COMSOL, ANSYS, or similar.
- Demonstrated capability to innovate solutions for complex nuclear engineering challenges.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills, comfortable working in dynamic, multidisciplinary environments.
Due to the nature of the government contract requirements and/or clearances requirements, US citizenship is required.
