About the role:
We are seeking a Nuclear Power Plant Systems Engineer who possesses a strong engineering foundation and a systems-level mindset. In this role, you will be the bridge between highly specialized engineering teams. You must be technically fluent enough to critically read, digest, and synthesize complex engineering analyses across fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, neutronics, electrical systems, safety analysis, and PRA. You will translate these technical insights into operational plans, regulatory documents, and cross-functional project strategies.
Key Responsibilities:
Engineering Analysis & Technical Oversight
- Review and synthesize technical engineering analyses (e.g. structural finite element analyses and/or computational fluid dynamics) and safety analysis to understand system-wide impacts.
- Review multi-disciplinary design packages to make sure that a change in one system does not negatively impact anotherl.
- Act as an internal sounding board, asking the right technical questions to specialized subject matter experts.
Cross-System Integration
- Coordinate technical intertaces between reactor core systems, balance-of-plant, and instrumentation & control (I&C).
- Evaluate vendor-supplied technical specifications and engineering reports to verify alignment with overall plant architecture.
Regulatory Technical Writing
- Translate complex engineering calculations and hazard analyses into clear, defensible licensing documentation for regulatory reviews.
Technical & Role Requirements
Education & Core Technical Competence
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Nuclear, Mechanical, Chemical, or Aerospace Engineering. (6+ years of experience)
- Core Skill: Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and critique multi-disciplinary engineering documentation (P&IDs, calculations, simulation summaries).
- Preference: Understand the core physics behind: Fluid flow/heat transfer, structural stress/fatigue, basic neutron transport, system safety redundancies, and probabilistic risk assessment.
Requirements:
- Based in the United States
- Willing to work on-site in Idaho Falls, Idaho
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary based on technical level
- Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
- Paid Time Off
- Corporate Gym Membership
