CFD Engineer Specialist

Holtec International and its subsidiary companies are designing an unfailingly safe and secure source of clean energy using nuclear fission called the SMR-300 small modular reactor. The position is offered by SMR LLC, a member of the Holtec International family—a global turnkey supplier of equipment and systems for the nuclear, solar, geothermal, and fossil power generation sectors of the energy industry. Come join a growing multidisciplinary team of designers and engineers working on the next-generation nuclear power plant.

The analyses will support engineering and licensing requirements, leading to the licensing and construction of the first SMR-300 plant. The Analyst will use, and have the opportunity to learn, various methods and software to perform the analyses. The Engineer will be part of a team executing a U.S. Government cost-shared development program requiring the efficient completion of engineering assignments, including coordination with other analysts in U.S. and offshore operating centers

Specific Areas Of Responsibility

• Develop new and innovative Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations related to plant components.
• Collaborate in small teams focused on the development of complex flow and/or thermal simulations.
• Apply developed and developing capabilities to directly impact design processes and eliminate the need for hardware testing.
• Provide component-level and/or system-level design recommendations to Design Responsible Engineers based on the interpretation of analysis results.
• Participate in product design and development teams, presenting analysis results to engineering peers and management.
• Enhance concept designs based on limited requirements or functions and develop mature requirements by gaining an understanding of the system, structure, or components.
• Review available concept designs based on an ambiguous set of requirements, transforming them into mature designs through critical thinking, literature research, collaboration with team members from other disciplines and vendors, and any analysis permitted by project milestones.
• Support the preparation of design deliverables, presentations, and communicate design progress in stakeholder meetings.
• Assist in the development of engineering and licensing requirements and documentation for nuclear systems and components.
