Senior Engineers (Structural & Stress Analysis)

Work Location:

Fully REMOTE

Hours

: 40+

Responsibilities

- Perform various analyses (stress, creep-fatigue, buckling, seismic, vibration) of reactor components using both classical tools such as Mathcad, and finite element analysis (FEA) software such as ANSYS.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to perform static and dynamic analysis using both linear and non-linear approach with FEA software.

- Work with interdisciplinary teams to establish and optimize nuclear components design consistent with required functional and safety requirements.

- Establish, review, approve and maintain documents of analysis results and design solutions.

- Support the team’s development of required inputs and methodologies to establish structural sizing and load combinations for critical reactor components and interfaces.

- Perform peer review to maintain the expected quality standard as per the engineering quality assurance plan.

- Work as a technical point of contact for various focused tasks.
