Job description

Navarro Research and Engineering is recruiting a Software Developer in Niskayuna, NY. A DOE L Clearance (or DOD equivalent) is required to be considered for this position.

Navarro Research & Engineering is an award-winning federal contractor dedicated to partnering with clients to advance clean energy and deliver effective solutions for complex challenges in the nuclear and environmental fields. Joining Navarro means being a part of an exceptional team committed to quality and safety while also looking for innovative strategies to create value for the client’s success. Headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Navarro has active programs in place across the nation for DOE/NNSA, NASA, and the Department of Defense.

The Core Analysis Process System (CAPS) Project is looking to hire a software developer with a passion for developing and implementing complex software solutions for scientific and engineering problems on high performance supercomputing systems. The project works directly with our engineers to provide common software engineering solutions for the reactor design community, applicable to all naval nuclear core designs. The project is focused on the ability to provide robust, user friendly, automated tools to evaluate thermal hydraulic and reactor performance design conditions. Depending on the background of the individual, near-term work assignments may include designing, developing, testing, verifying, and maintaining engineering software or porting engineering software to modern computing architectures. Work will be largely focused on problem solving; software systems architecture, scientific programming; and requirements gathering across application developers, engineering users, and system administrator groups. Particular application areas include nuclear reactor physics, reactor thermal performance and casualty analysis, and data science.
