About the role

  • The ideal candidate has a mix of industry and academic experience, and has worked in a team-oriented environment to mature nuclear concepts.
  • While you may have a specialty, you're not afraid to operate as a generalist in a growing organization.
  • Assist with neutronics modeling and simulations using MCNP, Serpent, or SCALE

Responsibilities

  • Support Multiphysics analyses (thermal-hydraulics, heat transfer, structural mechanics)
  • Collaborate with senior engineers on iterative design tasks

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering or related technical field
  • Familiarity with neutron transport software (MCNP, Serpent, SCALE)
  • Think probabilistically and then take action. "If you want to be certain, then you are apt to be obsolete." Over-optimizing the components often degrades the system
  • If you can't make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place.

Nice to have

  • Preferred Skills & Experience:

Skills

  • Familiarity with Python or similar programming language
  • Coursework or internships involving Multiphysics modeling
  • Interest or experience in microreactors, heat pipe cooled reactors, or other advanced reactors
  • Exposure to fast-paced project environments
  • Proven ability to quickly learn new technical concepts
  • Strong communication skills

Compensation

  • Think in Systems
  • Energy and Defense are complex ecosystems with numerous stakeholders with competing priorities, conflicting policies, perverse incentives, and emergent and path-dependent.
  • First principles thinking alone is insufficient.
  • Think probabilistically and then take action. "If you want to be certain, then you are apt to be obsolete." Over-optimizing the components often degrades the system
  • Obsess over the End User
  • The customer and end user are often not the same. We will never build globally competitive commercial products if we lose sight of our end users and their entire interaction with the product life cycle
