Engineer – Advanced Reactor Methods

Job

Description:

Summary This role is within the Fuels and Digital Engineering Organization’s Methods, Analysis, and Design team, which is responsible for the fuel and core design efforts associated with new and advanced reactor types as well as th e development, maintenance, analytics, technical consultation, and licensing of engineering computer codes, correlations, methodologies needed for these reactor types.

As such, the team interfaces with multiple stakeholders inside and outside of GVH Nuclear as they perform their design activities and supporting methods development and analyses roles. As a reactor-core-focused organization, the team contains a diverse set of expertise across neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, and deterministic safety analyses.

This role is intended for a current or future subject matter expert in the areas of reactor design, computational methods development/coding, numerical analysis, and fast reactor neutronic and thermal-hydraulic analysis and methods. Activities aimed at proving a concept to be valid or technically feasible by the application of scientific and engineering methodologies.

Work in this family typically has the objective of demonstrating through test or analyses the performance and implementation potential of a concept Accountable for the quality of own work. Subject to direct operations supervision/prescribed work instructions/systems checking.

• Executes within a well-defined operations framework.

There is generally a step by step sequence of standard operational tasks which need to be followed to achieve an end result. The preferred work location for this role is at the GVH Nuclear headquarters in Wilmington, NC (hybrid work arrangements available), but permanent remote work arrangements are also possible.
