About Us
James Fisher Technologies (JFT) is a reputable provider of remote solutions, specialty engineering, and technical services for applications within hazardous environments. In other words, we get things done for the nuclear industry. Everyone at JFT has the chance to forge their career in an environment that values initiative, persistence, respect, curiosity, and passion.
JFT is growing and looking for an experienced Analysis Engineer to join our team in Loveland, CO.
JFT offers some work from home flexibility, but candidates must be within commuting distance to the office. The anticipated closing date for this posting is 4/10/26 and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Job Function
To provide structural, mechanical, fluid, and thermal analysis support to the design and testing of custom mechanical and remote handling systems operating in harsh nuclear environments. This role combines structural integrity evaluation with thermodynamic and fluid flow modeling, enabling JFT systems to meet the rigorous demands of radiation exposure, heat loading, and operational safety.
Core Duties & Responsibilities
Primarily an office environment with work periodically performed in the fabrication/machine shop and outdoor testing areas. Depending on the project, there may be occasional travel to customer job sites. JFT has implemented a 9/80 work schedule, and the office is closed every other Friday.
Physical Requirements
Must be able to work on a computer (standing or sitting) for most of the day and use standard office equipment. The ability to communicate effectively in writing and verbally with team members, customers and vendors is essential. May occasionally lift and carry objects, materials, or equipment, typically under 50 pounds. Occasional stooping, kneeling, crouching, climbing and crawling to access and inspect equipment or systems may also be necessary.
Access To Restricted Information
This role requires immediate and routine access to restricted information under federal law, including but not limited to Export Controlled Information (ECI), Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI), Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Department of Energy Official Use Only (DOE OUO), and/or ITAR‑controlled technical data. Under applicable DOE orders and client contracts, non‑U.S. citizen candidates (including lawful permanent residents) may require an approved DOE Foreign National Visit/Assignment (FNVA) before beginning work or accessing project information. Because this position requires immediate access and project timelines do not accommodate new government approval processing, JFT may be unable to initiate or sponsor new FNVA approval processes or defer start dates pending FNVA approval for this role. Accordingly, hiring and placement into this role is contingent on the candidate's eligibility to access the required information and facilities as of the start date, including having any required government approvals already in place. All offers of employment are contingent on satisfying all applicable licensing, training, and other client/government approval requirements. JFT does not sponsor employment visas. Decisions relating to hiring and placement for this role are based solely on client and government access requirements and project timing, and not on citizenship, immigration status, or national origin. Candidates who would require new approvals may be considered for other roles not subject to these access requirements, if available. JFT is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants consistent with applicable laws.
JFT participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S.
James Fisher Technologies, LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
A criminal history background check will be obtained pre-employment.

This role combines structural integrity evaluation with thermodynamic and fluid flow modeling, enabling JFT systems to meet the rigorous demands of radiation exposure, heat loading, and operational safety.
Core Duties & Responsibilities
- Perform detailed structural analysis of machines and support structures using FEA tools to evaluate stress, strain, fatigue, and stability.
- Conduct thermal and fluid flow analyses using ANSYS Fluent to model heat transfer and temperature distribution under normal operating and special case envelope conditions.
- Analyze custom machines and processing equipment such as robotic manipulators, shielded enclosures, lifting beams, deployment systems, pressure vessels, and support structures.
- Integrate CFD and thermodynamic results into the structural loading cases and safety evaluations.
- Evaluate equipment performance under combined thermal, mechanical, seismic, and radiological loading conditions.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to inform design decisions with actionable analysis outputs.
- Contribute to the development of analysis reports, technical documentation, and DOE deliverables.
- Participate in hazard and design reviews, including FMEA, HAZOP, and system readiness assessments.
- Assist with planning and interpreting thermal/structural tests, including instrumentation layout, thermocouple data, and strain gauges.
- Utilize bounding assumptions to simplify the analysis and judgment to minimize the number of load cases required.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Nuclear, or related Engineering field.
- 5 years of experience in structural and/or thermal analysis in high-consequence environments.
- Familiarity with ASME Code Section III, VIII, B31.3, ASCE 4, 7 and 43 and DOE nuclear safety standards DOE-STD-1020, 1073, 3009.
- Experience with analysis and calculations such as FEA, stress/fatigue/vibration analysis.
- Proficient with ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS Fluent or equivalent CFD/FEA tools.
- Strong understanding of structures, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
- Strong technical writing skills; ability to produce high-quality engineering documentation.
- Professional Engineer or working towards achieving.
- Experience in design and testing of systems in nuclear or radiological environments with working knowledge of complex mechanical equipment and fabrications.
- Possess working knowledge of materials and processing, business acumen and commercial awareness.
