You will work with multi-discipline engineering project teams engaged in the design and engineering of upgrades and modifications to new and existing nuclear power plants in the following areas:

  • Radiological dose calculations
  • Radiation source term calculations
  • Radiation monitoring system design

In addition, you will:

  • Work on both domestic and international nuclear power plant projects
  • Travel to client offices and plant site locations to attend project progress meetings; travel may involve both domestic and international travel to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East
  • Perform site walk-downs
  • Address emergent issues and provide technical support to clients
Qualifications

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

Essential skills and experience:

  • BS or MS degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program
  • A minimum of 10 years of experience with radiation monitoring systems including types of radiation detectors and their operation, signal processing, and mechanical/electrical interfaces with plant systems
  • Experience with the calibration and detection capability of radiation monitoring systems including primary calibrations, secondary/transfer calibrations, energy calibrations, energy response characteristics, and reference isotopes
  • Working knowledge of NRC regulations and guidance that apply to licensing and license renewal of nuclear power plants
  • Experience with some or all of the following computer programs:
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • PE license desired, but not required
AI & Automation at Sargent & Lundy

In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to lead others who use modern tools:

  • You are expected to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
  • Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process-improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.
  • Overseeing engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs, is valued but not required.
  • We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows.
