Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Hadron Energy specializes in developing, designing, and researching micro modular reactors that provide carbon-free power. The Component Analysis Engineer will support the design, analysis, and fabrication of micro modular reactors by validating reactor components through structural and thermal-hydraulic analysis, developing design-basis loads, reviewing technical documentation, and mentoring engineers.
Responsibilities
- Develop system-level models to characterize thermal, seismic, and other design loading conditions to establish the structural design basis for component analysis
- Perform various analyses including stress, fatigue, buckling, seismic, and vibration of reactor components using classical tools like Mathcad and finite element analysis (FEA) software like ANSYS
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to perform static and dynamic analysis using both linear and non-linear approaches
- Work with interdisciplinary teams to establish and optimize nuclear component designs consistent with required functional and safety requirements
- Prepare and review documentation of analysis results and design solutions
- Support the development of required inputs and methodologies to establish structural sizing and design basis loads for reactor components and interfaces
- Perform rigorous peer reviews to maintain quality standards per the engineering procedures
- Assist management with technical planning, strategy, and acting as a technical point of contact for component analysis tasks
- Mentor junior engineers and team members to build a highly skilled and confident analysis team
Skills
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or Civil Engineering
- Minimum 10 years of related experience with a proven ability to produce high-quality technical work products
- Extensive experience in the analysis of components to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section III, Division 1 or similar (Section VIII Division 2)
- Working experience with other codes and standards such as ASME Section VIII, B31.1, B31.3, ASCE 4, ASCE 7, and/or ASCE 43
