Mechanical Design Engineer (REMOTE)

Position Summary: Provides applied mechanical engineering for a novel advanced reactor design project. Apply engineering principles to the solution of mechanical problems as they relate to reactor design activities. Mechanical problems are those that are related to the motion and dynamics of heat, gas, air, fluids, and solid materials required to design nuclear reactors and systems that function in a safe and reliable, efficient, and predictable manner. Must be proficient in designing systems in accordance with relevant national consensus codes and standards such as ASME B31 series and BPVC. Essential Job Functions and Responsibilities: (Knowledge, skills, and behaviors required for this position.) *Demonstrated ability to work with a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers on a novel advancedreactor design. *Demonstrated effectiveness at system design and evaluation. *Demonstrated effectiveness with project completion and implementation. *Proven experience with design of reactor vessels using ASME BPVC with high temperatures accounting forcreep and fatigue. *Proven experience with design of high temperature gaskets, sealing, and bolting *Document the design of electromechanical devices (controlled and approved models, drawings,specifications, design descriptions) such as control rod/drum drive mechanisms to establish conformancewith design requirements and applicable codes and standards. *Decompose project objectives into defined and controlled design requirements using a systems engineeringapproach and applying digital engineering tools for tracking requirements and design parameters. *Use design methodologies, technologies, and processes which are best practice for the technical discipline todevelop and define a design, and to validate that the design meets defined requirements. *Establish testing, inspection, and quality requirements to ensure technical features important to design functionsare maintained. *Oversee or otherwise ensure that fabrication, construction, assembly, and procurement are done in accordancewith the design. *Ensure any design meets the technical baseline requirements and applicable codes and regulations. *Develop, ensure adequacy of, and maintain configuration management of the technical baseline. Establish andmaintain configuration management of assigned system. *Ensure consistency in operation characteristics among applicable documents such as drawings, technicalmanuals, operating instructions, emergency operating procedures. *Work with other designers, customers, and analysts to develop experiment requirements, perform conceptual andfinal designs, follow all fabrication and inspection activities, lead experiment assembly activities, supportinstallation and testing of experiments, and support development of integrated analyses to ensure that facilitysafety bases are met. *Responsible for design and fabrication and associated activities leading to reactor operations andexperimentation. *Other duties as assigned by the Lead Reactor Project Engineer or the Engineering Manager. Knowledge/Skills/Abilities Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models. Knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology. This includes applying principles, techniques, procedures, and equipment to the design and production of various goods and services. Ability to apply general rules to specific problems to produce answers that make sense. Ability to combine pieces of information to form general rules or conclusions (includes finding a relationship among seemingly unrelated events). Ability to listen to and understand information and ideas presented through spoken words and sentences. Ability to communicate information and ideas in speaking so others will understand. Ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. It does not involve solving the problem, only recognizing that there is a problem.. Education, Credentials, and Work Experience:Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering or a directly related field, with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience; or a Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering or a directly related field, with a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience. The qualifying degree must be from an ABET-accredited program. Must be a US Citizen The candidate may work remotely but must be available to travel to site as required.
