Job description

Chrysalis is SHINE's flagship Molybdenum-99 production facility, designed to become the world's largest isotope production facility and a first-of-a-kind, nuclear-enabled chemical processing plant. Chrysalis will directly expand the supply of a critical medical isotope used in tens of millions of diagnostic procedures each year, at a moment when the global supply chain badly needs it.

The Designer (CAD) designs and documents plant systems, including process systems (piping, pressure vessels, pumps, valves, and similar components), HVAC, fire protection, civil and structural systems, cooling systems, electrical distribution, and architectural features. The 3D models produced in this Designer (CAD) role support coordination of design and construction activities, including interference identification, seismic evaluations, generation of piping isometrics, and drawings supporting construction and operations.

The annual base salary range for this position is $78,000.00 - $95,000.00 plus a comprehensive compensation package.

• Create and modify Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID), and 3D plant and system piping in AutoCAD Plant 3D.
• Create and modify 3D models and associated detailed 2D drawings for structural and architectural design in Revit.
• Create and modify process skids in SolidWorks, incorporating reference geometry imported from external CAD platforms.
• Develop the design and drafting of complex piping drawings from baseline information such as P&IDs, General Arrangements (GA), piping specifications, and equipment arrangement drawings.
• Modify 3D models of tanks, vessels, piping, and equipment, and generate the associated detailed mechanical drawings.
• Design systems supporting the safe, efficient, and effective operation of the facility, equipment, and controls required for the production and processing of medical isotopes and fissile solutions.

Work across the engineering organization to identify and resolve design conflicts, updating the integrated model accordingly.

• Field Verification
• Conduct walkdowns of the plant site and installed systems to capture as-built conditions and reconcile them against the model of record.

Requirements:

• Associate degree in engineering or a related discipline and three (3) to five (5) years of recent design experience, or a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline with recent design experience. (Demonstrated proficiency using AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks.
• Familiarity with drafting and design standards.
• Proficiency with the AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset.
• Ability to move within facility environments, including accessing testing areas.
• Ability to handle standard equipment and materials weighing up to 40 pounds with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Work may occasionally take place in controlled radiation areas under supervision and within regulatory exposure limits.
• Use of personal protective equipment (PPE), including lab coats, safety glasses, and dosimeters.
• Work environment involves some exposure to hazards or physical risks, which require following basic safety precautions.
• Although flexible work hours may be available, shift-work schedules may be required, and extended hours will sometimes be necessary to complete required work assignment.

Additionally, applicant’s eligibility may be conditioned based upon meeting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for access to Safeguards Information, which typically requires a pre-employment drug screen, fingerprinting and criminal background check.
