Job description

Johnson Service Group (JSG) is currently looking to hire some experienced Mechanical Design Engineers – Nuclear Equipment Design/Manufacturing.

This is a full-time direct-hire role for our client, who is a leader in the design and manufacture of custom-engineered pumps and motors for critical applications in power generation, nuclear research, and small modular reactor (SMR) development. They design, engineer, and manufacture to order.

100% remote with no more than 10% travel. Compensation: $120-160K+ (based on experience), plus full benefits including low-cost medical (they pay 85% of the premium, 401K with a 50% match up to 10%, profit sharing, education reimbursement, free gym membership, holidays, generous vacation, and more.

This position is required to support a large contract with an SMR to custom engineer and manufacture reactor pumps for a new build. They are expanding their Advanced Nuclear Group and have created new Design Engineer and Sr. Design Engineer positions.

The people hired into these roles will provide non-supervisory engineering work through all phases of new unit design, development, manufacture, test, and commissioning.

Requirements

Due to Federal Contract requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required for this position.

• BSME and 4+ years of mechanical engineering design and analysis for rotating machinery such as pumps and motors, turbomachinery, and rotor dynamics analysis
• Recent background with nuclear power generation equipment
• Strong SolidWorks (or comparable software) or solid modeling
• ASME BPVC design, ideally with a focus on ASME Section VIII Division 2 or ASME Section III
• Experience with some FEA analysis (static, thermal, frequency, transient, non-linear)
• Ability to read & interpret engineering drawings, standards, and specs. Comfortable with GD&T
• Comprehensive understanding of mechanical engineering principles associated with the design, analysis, and operation of centrifugal pumps
• PE license or the ability to obtain it

Key Experience

• ASME BPVC design, ideally with a focus on ASME Section VIII Division 2 or ASME Section III design by analysis (experience with complex loading combinations and seismic analysis).
• Clean-sheet mechanical/machine design (design of large fabrications/weldments). Experience with rotating equipment, pumps or turbomachinery, rotor dynamics analysis.
• Experience with NQA-1 quality program and safety-related equipment.

Plusses

• Analysis experience with complex loading combinations and seismic analysis
• Clean-sheet mechanical/machine design (design of large fabrications/weldments
• High-temperature design experience is a plus (liquid sodium).

Responsibilities

• Translate contract design specifications and code requirements into the requisite product design of components, subassemblies, and assemblies
• Preparation of manufacturing drawings, contractual submittals, calculations and analysis, procedures, test plans, and reports
• Utilize FEA software for stress/structural analyses, frequency analyses, seismic analysis, and thermal analyses
• Provide technical support to end users during the installation and commissioning of the manufactured equipment
• Support all aspects of unit design, including initial planning, concepting, mechanical design, material selection, calculations, and (possibly) test plan creation
• Interface with customers and vendors as required in the performance of design activities.
