You will have an instrumental impact of fueling the first new commercial reactor design in over 50 years by 2026.

Responsibilities & Duties

• Ownership of critical structures such as mass-efficient transportable shielding systems, container system, and high temperature graphite and metallic systems.
• Conduct trade studies and develop designs to meet program requirements.
• Perform detailed thermomechanical analysis (static strength, durability/fatigue) and dynamic analysis (vibration, shock) to determine structural integrity (margins of safety) using both hand calculations and finite element tools.
• Develop and execute manufacturing/assembly instructions and test plans.
• • Create and manage a Bill-Of-Materials (BOM).
  • Find and develop suppliers for components.
• Own subassembly design, manufacturing, and test schedules.
• Own risk analysis (FMEA) for subsystems.
• Collect requirements, provide expertise and feedback to engineers in other functional areas via clear, constructive communication.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in Mechanical, Aeronautical, Civil or Structural Engineering.
• 6+ years of experience designing structures.
• 4+ years of experience performing stress analysis using both hand calculations and finite element tools (Abaqus, Ansys, FEMAP, or similar).

Desired Qualifications & Skills

• Experience with design of multi-component assemblies in CAD (NX or similar).
• Experience designing hardware that was manufactured, deployed, and iteratively improved.
• Experience resolving thermal expansion issues in designs.
• Experience working with interdisciplinary teams.
• Solid understanding and application of GD&T.
• Proficiency with both “hand calc” analytical methods and higher fidelity finite element-based analysis methods.
• Ability to derive free-body diagrams for systems with which one was not previously familiar.
• Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills.
• Experience with using text-based software development tools.

Additional Requirements

• Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to accomplish our mission.
