Senior Mechanical Engineer

Your Day-to-Day:

• Perform design activities for the development of one or multiple high temperature reactor components.
• Support the development of the plan for design, test 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. 
• Development of design concepts using 3D model software (Inventor), progressing from concept to detailed design.  
• Work with the manufacturing organization to ensure design for manufacturability and fabrication follow activities. 
• 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 with testing 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 products.
