Senior Engineer

Are you interested in being part of an innovative team that supports Westinghouse’s mission to provide clean energy solutions? At Westinghouse, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we seek to identify, attract and recruit the most qualified talent while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the global workplace.

 

Senior Engineer – Structural Analyst

 

This position is hybrid in nature requiring at least 3 days/week on-site at the 51 Bridge Street eVinci Accelerator facility in Etna, PA, and the other days telecommuting.  No relocation will be provided for this position.

 

Your Day-to-Day:

• Perform design and analyses for the development of one or multiple high temperature reactor components.
• Support the development of the plan for design and analysis from preliminary through final design.  This will include decomposition of performance and structural related requirements with a focus on assessing and implementing lessons learned and best practices within the group.
• Use of analysis tools, such as finite element simulations (ex. Ansys) and closed-form solution calculations to qualify component design. 
• Develop, solve, and post-process thermal and structural finite element simulations in ANSYS Workbench and Mechanical (APDL) to support integrated downstream evaluations.
• Execute component qualifications through ASME BPV code Section III Division 5 (High Temperature Reactors) methodologies.
• Support component lead by interfacing with other component, system and manufacturing leads on the integration of the subsystems and work through emergent design issues.
• Work outside of organization to develop plans for functional and qualification tested as needed.
• Work with project managers and subsystem/component leads to develop and maintain project schedules.
• Accomplish project objectives while meeting established schedule and budget requirements.
• Identify and define technical issues, risks and challenges, direct efforts to successful resolution.
• Incorporate the use of industry, regulatory, or NRC/DOE/ASME codes, standards, and criteria pertinent to nuclear reactors in design activities. 
• Communicate with management on the progress of the design, technical issues, risks and lessons learned during the project. 
• Strong personal accountability for delivery of high-quality engineering.

Who You Are:
As a successful candidate, you will bring the following to the team:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, (alternate degrees such as nuclear, aerospace, structural engineering, etc. will be considered with component design experience).
• Familiarity in the nuclear industry or reactor technology (preferred).
