Job Description Summary

Risk and Reliability engineering is a cross-functional discipline focused on an approach, mindset, and process that considers both business and technical needs. The goal is to deliver a quality product that meets user needs through development risk analyses and communication of risk insights to optimize system and component design for safety and reliability. This includes identifying and quantifying inputs for all modes and hazards, probabilistic risk evaluations, developing insights for alternative designs, and integrating final plant designs into probabilistic risk models supporting licensing activities. The process spans from concept through production to operation, including customer support for ongoing engineering services.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain PRA models of nuclear plant design and operations, including fault scenario logic, data analysis, Human Reliability Analysis, Accident analysis, Severe Accidents, and Source Term assessments using PRA tools and methods.
• Collaborate with other disciplines to enhance risk-informed designs, communicate findings clearly to peers, management, and clients.
• Analyze regulatory requirements to develop risk-informed solutions that enhance safety, reliability, and cost savings.
• Leverage nuclear plant knowledge to develop digital tools for data processing, condition monitoring, and analytics to improve performance and reduce costs.
• Provide technical guidance and training to engineers, specialists, and managers.
• Represent GEH at customer meetings, regulatory agencies, and industry conferences.
• Author and present PRA research in technical publications and conferences.
• Lead organizational responsibilities, programs, and personnel.
• Support the PRA Technical Leader with work plans and proposals.
• Influence strategy, resource control, and policy within the function.
• Interpret business challenges and recommend best practices, staying informed of industry trends.
• Make high-level judgments, handle complex problems, and propose innovative solutions.
• Lead projects or teams with minimal resources and communicate complex concepts effectively.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Engineering from an accredited university.
• At least 5 years of experience in PRA skills, including Data analysis, Human Reliability, Accident and Severe Accident analysis, and Source Term assessments.

Preferred Qualifications

• M.S. or Ph.D. in nuclear engineering.
• Proven problem analysis and communication skills.
• Experience with Importance Analysis, Uncertainty Analysis, FMEA, and PRA development.
• Knowledge of PRA tools like CAFTA, Boiling Water Reactor safety, NRC regulatory processes, and risk-informed licensing.
• Experience with PRA hazard analyses, RAMI programs, industry peer reviews, and programming skills.
• Understanding of international nuclear safety standards, plant operations, and quality systems.
• Strong interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills.

The base salary range is $99K - $140K, with potential bonuses and geographic differentials. Benefits include health coverage, retirement plans, tuition assistance, parental leave, and more. The role requires U.S. export-controlled information access, contingent upon security clearance.
