Senior Engineer - Nuclear Thermal-Hydraulic Methods & Analysis (Remote Eligible, U.S. based)

Job Description Summary

This role is instrumental in advancing our nuclear thermal-hydraulic capabilities, particularly in supporting plant services and thermal-hydraulics analysis. The engineer will contribute to plant services by conducting comprehensive reactor thermal hydraulic studies, such as moisture carryover (MCO), leakage, and hydrodynamic analyses. Proficiency in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for modeling advanced reactor design system thermal hydraulics is essential, alongside high-level programming skills to support complex analyses and simulations.

This role is part of the Thermal & Fluids Analysis team, which oversees the development, maintenance, and technical consultation of thermal-hydraulic engineering computer codes, correlations, and methodologies pertinent to Boiling Water Reactors (BWR), Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR), and advanced / fast reactors, including their fuel systems. The team plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of analytical tools and methods that support reactor performance and safety evaluations.
