  • Support internal and external Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) activities.
  • Develop and maintain event trees, fault trees, and PRA models using CAFTA.
  • Perform risk integration studies, importance measures, and risk metrics.
  • Support severe accident and consequence analyses.
  • Participate in hazard analyses, PIRT evaluations, SSC classifications, Licensing Basis Events (LBE), and Defense-in-Depth (DID) evaluations.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to establish system reliability, safety, and performance requirements.
  • Prepare engineering calculations, technical documentation, and analytical reports.
  • Participate in design reviews and engineering evaluations.
  • Present technical findings to project teams, management, and regulatory organizations.
  • Support continuous improvement of PRA methodologies, computational models, and engineering processes.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Nuclear, Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline.
  • One or more years of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) experience.
  • Understanding of PRA principles and familiarity with ASME/ANS PRA standards.
  • Knowledge of risk-informed, performance-based regulatory approaches.
  • Experience with PRA software such as CAFTA, FRANX, SAPHIRE, RiskSpectrum, or similar tools.
  • Strong technical writing, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively on multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with GOTHIC, MELCOR, RADTRAD, or similar analytical software.
  • Experience with sodium-cooled or advanced reactor technologies.
  • Knowledge of severe accident analysis, human reliability analysis, source term evaluations, and accident progression.
  • Familiarity with nuclear licensing and regulatory requirements.

This is an outstanding opportunity to contribute to the development of advanced nuclear technologies while working remotely on innovative, first-of-a-kind engineering projects.
