Torrey Holistics; Cranberry Township (Butler County); On-site; USD 69,000 - 87,000; Full time

Job summary

Westinghouse Electric Company is seeking an Engineer II - Mechanical to perform design and analysis on reactor components within the primary pressure boundary, using ANSYS and internal codes to qualify designs.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, manage schedules, and address technical risks while applying NRC/ASME codes. Occasional on-site and remote refueling outage support is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering required; Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics or Aerospace Engineering preferred.
• 3+ years of experience in Component structural analysis or Thermo Hydraulics.
• Professional Engineer (PE) License

Responsibilities

• Perform design and analyses for the repair, modification and qualification of components within the primary pressure boundary of Westinghouse designed nuclear power plants including current operating fleet, AP1000 reactors.
• Use analysis tools, such as finite element simulations (e.g. ANSYS), closed form engineering calculations, and Westinghouse internal analysis codes to qualify component design.
• Work with other component, system, and manufacturing leads on the integration of subsystems and work through emergent design issues.
• Work with project managers and subsystem/component leads to develop project schedules.
• Identify and define technical risks and challenges, direct efforts to successful resolution.
• Bring engineering thoughtfulness to resolution of problems that are sometimes loosely, or only partially, defined, requiring experience within given discipline.
• Incorporate the use of industry, regulatory, or NRC/DOE/ASME codes, standards, and criteria relevant to nuclear reactors in design activities.
• Provide technical guidance, direction, and collaborate with other personnel including partners such as national laboratories, sub-contractors, suppliers, fabricators, and customers.
• Support plant refueling outages (both on-site and remotely) including stretches of 12-hour shift work and overnight work because of time sensitivity
