Nuclear PRA Engineer

Job Title: Probabilistic Risk Assessment Engineer
Type: Direct Hire
Work Model: Fully Remote


System One is hiring a Probabilistic Risk Assessment Engineer, this role will develop and support analyses in the area of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) and/or severe accident analysis. The candidate will be experienced in performing PRA analyses in accordance with the appropriate industry standards and guidance, authoring and reviewing PRA-related documents

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 

1. Possess knowledge in functional discipline and its practical application and has detailed knowledge of applicable industry codes, standards, and regulations, with an emphasis on new and advanced designs.
2. Develop logic models and perform risk calculations using industry-standard risk assessment methods and simulation tools (e.g., SAPHIRE, RELAP, MELCOR) without supervision.
3. Prepare, check, and review engineering reports, calculations, system descriptions, and probabilistic risk assessments without supervision, such as data analyses (should be familiar with probabilistic models and Bayesian techniques), system modeling using fault trees and sequence modeling using event trees, external hazards (e.g., seismic, fire).
4. Prepare, check, and review risk-informed applications (e.g., Maintenance Rule).
5. Develop resolutions to complex problems that require the frequent use of creativity and innovation.
6. Effectively communicate with other technical and nontechnical disciplines, customers, and regulators; should understand the uses and limitations CDF, LRF, and LERF as risk metrics and impacts on risk significance.
7. Interacts with coworkers and other disciplines to promote effective coordination of design activities and resolution of technical problems. Individuals should be interested in acquiring general knowledge of principles and practices of related fields in order to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
8. Acquires, maintains, and develops training qualifications.
9. Performs other duties as assigned.

Quality Assurance: Demonstrates understanding and implementation of quality assurance regulations, standards and guidelines of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, and NQA-1.
