How much do remote reactor physics jobs pay per year?

As of Jul 29, 2026, the average yearly pay for remote reactor physics in the United States is $46,902.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $43,500.00 and $50,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

How does a remote reactor physics engineer typically collaborate with on-site teams to ensure safety and accuracy in reactor operations?

Remote reactor physics engineers often work closely with on-site operations and engineering teams via secure digital platforms, video conferencing, and real-time data sharing tools. They are responsible for providing analytical support, conducting simulations, and reviewing operational data to advise on reactor performance and safety. Effective communication and clear documentation are critical, as remote engineers must ensure their recommendations are understood and implemented correctly by on-site personnel. Regular virtual meetings and occasional on-site visits may be required to maintain strong collaboration and address complex challenges.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Reactor Physicist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Reactor Physicist, you need a strong background in nuclear engineering or physics, typically with an advanced degree and expertise in reactor physics principles. Proficiency with simulation software such as MCNP, SCALE, or CASMO, and familiarity with remote monitoring systems are essential. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and clear communication are valuable soft skills for interpreting data and collaborating with remote teams. These skills are crucial for ensuring reactor safety, optimizing performance, and effectively addressing issues from a distance.

What is a Remote Reactor Physicist?

A Remote Reactor Physicist is a professional who applies the principles of nuclear physics to analyze, monitor, and optimize the performance of nuclear reactors, typically working remotely using specialized software and instrumentation. Their responsibilities often include conducting simulations, monitoring reactor core behavior, and ensuring safety protocols are followed from an offsite location. This remote approach allows them to support nuclear facilities without being physically present, leveraging digital tools and real-time data. They are vital for operational support, regulatory compliance, and troubleshooting within the nuclear energy sector.

Job description

Job Title: Nuclear Methods Engineer Location: Bellevue, WA Type: Contract Compensation: $52.00 - $85.00 Work Model: Remote – offsite Hours: 40.0 Overview System One is seeking a highly motivated Nuclear Methods Software Engineer for a yearlong, fully remote contract position. In this role, you will support the nuclear methods team:

Responsibilities

  • Create formal documentation of nuclear methods software requirements, design, implementation, and testing in support of licensing our client’s reactors
  • Update, improve, and/or create software to satisfy all licensing requirements during the Validation and Verification (V&V) process
  • Incorporate additional 3rd-party programs in our simulation ecosystem as necessary to support licensing
  • Design and execute sensitivity studies to understand the effects and validity of various modeling assumptions, including meshing, physics coupling, transport options, cross section preparation, fission product models, spatial kinetics, etc., and adjust methods as necessary
  • Train and support reactor designers and developers in the use of the design software suite
  • Build and apply methods to assess the propagation of uncertainty and their effect on safety margins
  • Enhance engineering team's ability to build models and make meaningful conclusions from simulation output through input tools, visualization, reports, etc.
Requirements
  • B.S. degree in Nuclear Engineering with 5-20 years of experience
  • M.S. degree in Nuclear Engineering with 3-15 years of experience
  • Ph.D. degree in Nuclear Engineering with 2-10 years of experience
  • Fast reactor physics and design intuition
  • Experience in nuclear design/analysis methodologies including criticality, flux/power distributions, fuel management optimization, reactivity coefficients, shielding, activation, control rod worth, detector response, and uncertainty analysis
  • Knowledge of reactor physics analysis methods (deterministic and stochastic particle transport, isotopic depletion, perturbation theory, nuclear data, kinetics, etc.)
  • Experience with nuclear engineering software such as DIF3D, MC2, PARTISN, MCNP, Serpent, SCALE, PARCS, APA, CASMO, DRAGON, ARMI, etc. preferred
  • Strong computational expertise and programming skills in scientific computing languages (Python, C++, Fortran bonus)
  • Proven ability to automate simulation tools and integrate software
  • Experience with software development tools (IDEs, version control, debuggers, documentation tools)
  • Knowledge of nuclear methodology interaction with the NRC under an ASME NQA-1 compliant QA environment preferred
  • Good understanding of numerical methods and applied mathematics (PDEs, stability, statistics, analysis, dynamics)
  • Strong technical documentation skills
  • Ability to meet aggressive schedules and deliver consistently
  • Self-motivated with a passion for software best practices and teamwork
  • Excellent verbal communication skills
