About This Opportunity

Our talent team at Get A Job.ai is representing a confidential federal contractor in the advanced nuclear energy sector. We're seeking a Nuclear Engineering Consultant to provide analysis and design support for sodium-cooled reactor systems, with a focus on small modular reactor (SMR) technology. This is a remote consulting role with periodic travel to Idaho Falls, ID to support conceptual design activities and technical collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Perform engineering analysis and design for sodium-cooled reactor systems
• Develop, execute, and evaluate thermal hydraulics models and simulations supporting sodium-cooled fast reactor design and analysis
• Support reactor systems design activities and evaluate system performance against applicable technical objectives and design criteria
• Apply computational fluid dynamics tools and/or reactor system analysis codes to assess fluid flow, heat transfer, and system behavior
• Conduct safety analyses, transient analyses, and heat transfer evaluations for advanced reactor systems
• Prepare and communicate technical results, assumptions, methods, and conclusions in support of design reviews and conceptual design activities
• Support nuclear licensing activities, technical design reviews, and advanced reactor development programs as assigned
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, clients, national laboratories, reactor vendors, and advanced reactor developers
• Travel to Idaho as needed to support conceptual design activities and other project requirements

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• Master's degree or Ph.D. in engineering or a closely related technical discipline
• Demonstrated experience performing analysis and design for reactor systems
• Ability to work effectively in a remote environment and travel to Idaho as project needs require
