Senior Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer

System One is seeking a Senior Nuclear Safety Analysis Engineer for a long-term, fully remote contract. The successful candidate will be part of a growing team supporting the design and licensing of the demonstration reactor and is primarily responsible for performing design and licensing analyses and developing associated methodologies in the following areas:

• Analysis of design and licensing basis events
• Mechanistic source terms
• Radiological release and consequences

• Perform transient and accident analyses to meet the safety analysis needs of the SFR program.
• Develop analytical and computational models in collaboration with safety analysis engineers.
• Develop methodologies using a graded approach to the Evaluation Model Development and Assessment Process (EMDAP).
• Collaborate with safety verification and validation engineers to develop assessment bases (benchmark, identify applicable tests, etc.) and asses the evaluation model.
• Work with an interdisciplinary team of engineers to establish core and reactor SSC functional, performance, safety, and quality requirements as well as support the overall design.
• Establish and maintain analysis of record and methodology documentation.
• Perform engineering reviews of analyses and other engineering design media.
• Contribute, as needed, to the implementation of capabilities required for transient and accident analysis within our client’s software framework.

• M.S. or Ph.D. in nuclear engineering, or other relevant engineering degree, with at least 15 years of experience in the nuclear field.
• Knowledgeable of nuclear systems thermal-hydraulic, fuel performance, reactor dynamics, and transient phenomena.
• Direct experience with the US NRC on design and analysis methodology licensing topical report(s) is required.
• Significant experience with safety analysis codes such as SAS4A/SASSYS-1, GOTHIC, RELAP5, TRACE, MELCOR, MACCS, RADTRAD or equivalent.
• Familiarity with nuclear design, regulatory requirements, and risk-informed performance-based technology guidance for Non-Light Water Reactors under Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.233 is required.
• Familiarity with EMDAP and RG 1.203 is required.
• Experience with SFR safety methods is highly desirable. Experience with other reactor designs can be considered when differentiating candidates.
• Demonstrated strong quantitative, analytical, modeling and reporting skills.
• Understanding of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and ASME NQA-1 requirements associated with analysis and software management as well as experience working under a quality assurance program.
• Experience in working in multi-disciplinary engineering teams to address engineering challenges.
• Strong communication skills desired.
• The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect, and a desire to foster teamwork.
• Actual position starting level and title will be determined based on assessment of qualifications.
