  • Prepare regular reports and technical documentation of evaluations, communicating critical information effectively to management and senior stakeholders.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (preferably Mechanical Engineering) from an ABET-accredited institution; an advanced degree and P.E. certification are preferred.
  • Minimum of 10 years of full-time relevant working experience in nuclear component design or stress analysis.
  • Proven ability to manage and lead engineering projects with minimal oversight, acting as a technical lead for multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong understanding of ASME BPVC Section III and experience utilizing ANSYS (APDL), Matlab, or Python for seismic and dynamic analysis.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop innovative resolutions to complex structural and thermal challenges.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead by example, adhering to a strict Safety Culture and influencing peers to meet high nuclear industry standards.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interpret project scope and communicate technical data across the organization.
