Job Description
System One is seeking a Senior Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer for a long-term, fully remote contract. The successful candidate will be part of a growing team supporting the design and licensing of the demonstration reactor and is primarily responsible for performing design and licensing analyses and developing associated methodologies in the following areas:
- Analysis of design and licensing basis events
- Mechanistic source terms
- Radiological release and consequences
The Senior Safety Analysis Engineer may also contribute subject matter expertise to other projects under development to include, but are not limited to, performing accident analyses, contributing to software qualification, participating in hazard analysis, participating to Structures, Systems and Components (SSC) classification, as well as performing verification and validation activities.
Responsibilities - Perform transient and accident analyses to meet the safety analysis needs of the SFR program.
- Develop analytical and computational models in collaboration with safety analysis engineers.
- Develop methodologies using a graded approach to the Evaluation Model Development and Assessment Process (EMDAP).
- Collaborate with safety verification and validation engineers to develop assessment bases (benchmark, identify applicable tests, etc.) and asses the evaluation model.
- Work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to establish core and reactor SSC functional, performance, safety, and quality requirements as well as support the overall design.
- Establish and maintain analysis of record and methodology documentation.
- Perform engineering reviews of analyses and other engineering design media.
- Contribute, as needed, to the implementation of capabilities required for transient and accident analysis within our client’s software framework.
Key Qualifications and Skills - M.S. or Ph.D. in nuclear engineering, or other relevant engineering degree, with at least 15+ years of experience in the nuclear field.
- Knowledgeable of nuclear systems thermal-hydraulic, fuel performance, reactor dynamics, and transient phenomena.
- Direct experience with the US NRC on design and analysis methodology licensing topical report(s) is required.
- Significant experience with safety analysis codes such as SAS4A/SASSYS-1, GOTHIC, RELAP5, TRACE, MELCOR, MACCS, RADTRAD or equivalent.
- Familiarity with nuclear design, regulatory requirements, and risk-informed performance-based technology guidance for Non-Light Water Reactors under Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.233 is required.
- Familiarity with EMDAP and RG 1.203 is required.
- Experience with SFR safety methods is highly desirable. Experience with other reactor designs can be considered when differentiating candidates.
- Demonstrated strong quantitative, analytical, modeling and reporting skills.
- Understanding of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and ASME NQA-1 requirements associated with analysis and software management as well as experience working under a quality assurance program.
- Experience in working in multi-disciplinary engineering teams to address engineering challenges.
- Strong communication skills desired.
- The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect, and a desire to foster teamwork.
- Actual position starting level and title will be determined based on assessment of qualifications.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work permanently in the U.S. without visa sponsorship now or in the future.
