About the role

  • You will apply best available analysis tools to characterize radiation sources from fission, activation, and decay.

Responsibilities

  • Ownership of radiation shielding design and analysis
  • You will work as an integral member of the reactor and site design team to design and analyze the best available shielding configuration to meet customer requirements for a variety of deployment scenarios.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in nuclear or mechanical engineering, physics, material science, or related field
  • 3+ experience with radiation shielding analysis and design
  • Proficiency in modern radiation shielding analysis tools, such as MCNP/ADVANTG, SCALE/MAVRIC, or similar Monte Carlo variance reduction tools
  • 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.
