This role involves designing and delivering the Natrium Control Rod Drive system while collaborating with various engineering teams to ensure compliance and quality in nuclear reactor systems design.

Responsibilities

• Design nuclear and industrial mechanical systems, including: requirements definition, analysis, specifications, and system drawings
• Develop and maintain system architecture and design documentation (e.g., Design Basis Documents, P&IDs, Logic Diagrams, Interface Control Documents)
• Establish equipment design bases, including: regulatory criteria, regulatory standards, functional criteria, performance criteria, and failure mode and effects
• Drive alignment across multidisciplinary engineering teams (nuclear, thermal hydraulic, mechanical, instrumentation and controls, civil-structural) to implement system requirements
• Evaluate equipment and technology development requirements and implement development strategies for technologies or approaches
• Develop engineering designs supporting lifecycle factors including operability, maintainability, and reliability
• Manage technical interfaces with suppliers, including review and verification of deliverables
• Provide technical direction and interface to supplier projects, working with supply chain teams to ensure delivery of engineering designs and other deliverables, as well as coordination and performance of technical reviews of deliverables
• Prepare engineering change packages including calculations, design reports, design drawings, and design specifications
• Promote continuous learning and application of nuclear industry best practices to maintain the highest quality of engineering design
• Interface with and support licensing activities needed to obtain both the construction and operating licenses for the reactor systems including development of safety analysis reports, technical specifications, topical reports, and other licensing documents
• Participate in project design reviews at project milestones and periodic assessment points to verify compliance and completeness of design

Skills
