Nuclear Engineer
The Opportunity:
As a nuclear engineer, you bring the expertise needed to review reactor designs, mechanical and electrical drawings, and the supporting systems required for safe and feasible deployment. That expertise is essential when conducting detailed engineering analyses for the Department of War-evaluating site viability, guiding customers through licensing and permitting pathways, and supporting multiple sites throughout the nuclear lifecycle from construction through decommissioning. We're seeking a nuclear engineer who can apply this technical depth to guide multi-million-dollar energy infrastructure decisions, ensuring leaders receive clear, engineering-driven recommendations that strengthen mission resilience.
At Booz Allen, you'll use your nuclear engineering background to help transform the Department of War's approach to resilient energy. Our team delivers cutting-edge energy solutions to customers who rely on their systems 24/7 to safeguard national security. We need a nuclear engineer who specializes in reactor systems, electrical integration, site viability, and regulatory pathways and who can communicate complex technical insights across interdisciplinary teams to shape the next generation of large-scale energy capabilities.
Take on exciting challenges in the Department of War with us as we help provide resilient, secure energy systems to the warfighter.
Join us. The world can't wait.
You Have:

• 5+ years of experience with the design and operation of nuclear reactors, steam systems, and associated electrical interconnections such as reactor vessel, control rods, turbine generator, transformers, protection equipment
• Experience assessing nuclear site viability, including utility coordination, land access constraints, and environmental clearance requirements
• Knowledge of nuclear life cycle costs such as construction, commissioning, O&M, and decommissioning
• Knowledge of Department of Energy (DoE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and state and federal energy regulations, including licensing and permitting processes
• Ability to review, compare, and validate vendor technology claims against regulatory, system-integration, and performance requirements
• Ability to travel up to 25% of the time to CONUS and OCONUS locations
• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance
• Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with energy system design, including distributed generation sources, microgrids, and battery energy storage systems
• Experience working with the Department of War in government or contractor roles and supporting GS-15 level clients
• Ability to evaluate risks, tradeoffs, and cost implications to inform acquisition, design, and implementation strategies
• Ability to leverage electrical modeling software such as EasyPower, ETAP, or SKM
• Master's degree in Nuclear Engineering or Electrical Engineering
• Professional Engineering (PE) Certification
