Nuclear Core Design Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a nuclear core design engineer?

To thrive as a Nuclear Core Design Engineer, you need a strong background in nuclear engineering, reactor physics, and thermodynamics, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency with simulation and modeling software such as MCNP, SCALE, or CASMO, and familiarity with regulatory codes are essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective teamwork set standout professionals apart in this field. These skills ensure safe, efficient, and regulatory-compliant reactor core designs, which are critical for nuclear plant operation and public safety.

What are some common challenges faced by nuclear core design engineers during new reactor projects?

Nuclear Core Design Engineers often encounter challenges such as balancing safety requirements with optimal reactor performance during new projects. They must navigate complex regulatory standards, work with interdisciplinary teams, and ensure that their designs account for fuel efficiency, thermal limits, and long-term reliability. Close collaboration with safety analysts, operations staff, and regulatory bodies is essential to address evolving project needs and unexpected technical issues. Staying current with technological advancements and adapting designs to new materials or methodologies is also a key part of the role.

What is the difference between Nuclear Core Design Engineer vs Nuclear Reactor Engineer?

AspectNuclear Core Design EngineerNuclear Reactor Engineer
Primary FocusDesigning and optimizing nuclear reactor cores for safety and efficiencyOperating, monitoring, and maintaining nuclear reactors during operation
Required CredentialsEngineering degree, often with specialization in nuclear engineering, certifications in reactor safetyEngineering degree, nuclear engineering background, reactor operation licenses
Work EnvironmentDesign labs, research facilities, engineering officesReactor sites, power plants, operational control rooms
Industry UsageUsed during reactor design, development, and safety analysis phasesActive during reactor operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting

The main difference is that Nuclear Core Design Engineers focus on designing and optimizing reactor cores before and during construction, while Nuclear Reactor Engineers are involved in the operation and maintenance of reactors once they are active. Both roles require nuclear engineering expertise but serve different stages of the reactor lifecycle.

What does a nuclear core design engineer do?

A Nuclear Core Design Engineer is responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing the arrangement and performance of fuel assemblies within a nuclear reactor core. Their work ensures the reactor operates safely and efficiently while meeting regulatory requirements and power output goals. This involves complex calculations, simulations, and collaboration with other engineers to assess fuel utilization, thermal limits, and overall core behavior during various operating conditions.

Job description

Process Design Engineer Augusta, Georgia, United States, Full-Time

Manus works across industries and value chains to accelerate the transition to BioAlternatives – better performing and more sustainable versions of complex molecules traditionally sourced from plants, animals, or fossil fuels. Our platform is proven to work across scales, bridging the Valley of Death between lab and manufacturing more efficiently and more reliably to deliver the benefits of synthetic biology today. We are seeking a self-motivated and highly organized individual for a position that will specialize in and lead all laboratory operations at our Boston BioFacility.

We are seeking a highly motivated Process Design Engineer to assist with design of new processes, optimization of existing processes, capital projects, recommissioning, and startup. The ideal candidate will have expertise process design (conceptual development, line sizing, equipment sizing, mass & energy balances), process engineering (optimization, instrumentation, and data collection), engineering documentation (EFDs, PFDs, P&IDs, isometric drawings, dimensional drawings, document control, etc.), and process safety. This hands-on position requires a desire and ability to work as an integral part of a multidisciplinary team, as well as the demonstration of a high degree of flexibility, creativity, and initiative applied to the various duties and aspects of the position. This person will be expected to play an integral part of Manus Bio’s team located in Augusta, GA

Why work at Manus:

  • Opportunity – For motivated, results-oriented team members, our growth creates opportunities for personal and professional advancement.
  • Accountability – You are given the resources you need to succeed and the freedom to make it happen; in return, we hold each other accountable for our high expectations.
  • Passion – We love what we do and enjoy working with others who feel the same way. We embrace the challenge and hard work that comes with working on the cutting edge.

Key Responsibilities:?

  • Initiates/supports conceptual design of new processes, including P&ID development, scale-up calculations, mass & energy balances, EFDs, and PFDs.
  • Gather and organize information to be used for developing design.
  • Initiates/supports capital projects, including scope development, cost justification, control logic and start-up support. Commissioning and water-batching is critical.
  • Provides Process Safety Management ownership responsibilities including process hazard analysis participation, maintaining drawings, procedures, and PSI files, and sponsoring management of change for equipment and process changes.
  • Troubleshooting design issues.
  • Preparation of detailed engineering reports.
  • Preparation of “as-built” drawing markups based on input or physical walk downs of systems.
  • Work with Process Development teams to ensure appropriate lab experiments are performed and data is collected, that processes are appropriately scaled up to the pilot plant, and that necessary pilot data is collected.
  • Assist with full scale-up of pilot processes.
  • Assist with identifying plant material balances, capacity evaluations, area/plant yields, and KPIs that should be monitored and reported.
  • When necessary, assist with specification and procurement of appropriate equipment, instrumentation, and materials.
  • Inspect and report on new processes, upgrades, or retrofits for conformance to design.
  • Conduct activities in a safe and healthy manner and work in accordance with established safety and company requirements.
  • Promote a positive working environment in order to achieve the organization’s goals.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • Minimum B.S. in Chemical Engineering required (other relevant engineering degree may be considered), and three (3) to fifteen (15) years of experience in plant engineering and/or process design.
  • Strong understanding of engineering core fundamentals (i.e. thermodynamics, transport, kinetics).
  • Experience in an industrial setting (not commercial).
  • Must be able to read and understand P&ID’s at a high level.
  • Excellent communication skills; both oral and written is required.
  • Strong analytical and problem solving skills are required.
  • Computer skills and an in-depth knowledge of Microsoft Windows based programs are required.
  • Ability to work flexible hours.
  • Requires effective time management skills, personal conduct, and change management abilities.
  • Ability to effectively interact with co-workers, vendors, contractors and other business contacts.
  • Must comply with Manus Bio’s core values for the safe and efficient operation of the business and maintain sound relationships among and with employees.

Preferred Qualifications?

  • Training and experience in process hazard evaluation techniques as applied to OSHA 29 CFR 1910 requirements.
  • Experience working in cGMP environments.
  • Experience in biochemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, energy, oil and gas industries is preferred.
  • Experience with engineering simulation tools (e.g. Aspen Plus, ChemCAD, etc.).
