SHOULD WORK IN W2
Key Qualifications and Skills
- Advanced degree in Nuclear Engineering or equivalent and 4+ years of relevant experience preferred
- Fast reactor physics and design intuition
- Experience in understanding and executing nuclear design / analysis methodologies, including criticality, flux / power distributions, fuel management optimization, reactivity coefficients, shielding, activation, control rod worth, detector response, and uncertainty analysis, ideally with a focus on fast-neutron reactors
- Excellent under-the-hood knowledge of the methods of reactor physics analysis (deterministic and stochastic particle transport, isotopic depletion, perturbation theory, nuclear data, kinetics, etc.)
- Experience with some nuclear engineering software such as DIF3D, MC2, PARTISN, MCNP, Serpent, SCALE, PARCS, APA, CASMO, DRAGON, ARMI, etc. preferred
- Strong computational expertise required : we consider computers to be the universe at our fingertips rather than burdensome necessities

- Demonstrable capabilities with fundamental software development tools (e.g. IDEs, version control, profilers, debuggers, documentation builders, packaging tools)
- Experience interacting on nuclear methodology with the NRC under an ASME NQA-1 compliant QA environment preferred
- Good working knowledge of general numerical methods and applied mathematics (e.g. PDEs, numerical stability, statistics, numerical analysis, dynamics)
- Strong formal technical documentation skills required
- Ability to consistently deliver to an aggressive schedule
- Self-motivated : able to seek out tasks and produce value aligned with team goals without waiting for next assignment
- Passion for and dedication to software best practices
- Willingness to openly give and accept professional criticism through code reviews and other venues
