Key Responsibilities:

• Be a technical leader for fluence/dosimetry analyses, including license renewal and 24-month fuel cycle transitions.
• Neutron transport calculations in and around the reactor vessel:
  • Review plant drawings and build transport models.
  • Perform fluence, activation, heating rate, and dosimetry calculations.
  • Critically analyze results and produce technical documentation.
• Radiation source term calculations:
  • Analyze post-irradiation compositions using ORIGEN, coolant activity.
• Oversee and verify the accuracy of the work of others.
• Determine scope and schedule and provide cost inputs for offers.
• Lead new product and service offerings.

Occasional travel to industry meetings and to customer sites for short field work assignments may be required.

• Engineering leadership as a Technical Leader including:
  • Manage teams in challenging situations.
  • Frequent interactions with customers.
• Analytical technical skills.

Preferred:

• Experience with Linux, programming, and computational simulation.
• Experience with relevant computer codes (RAPTOR, DOORS, SCALE).
