Graduate Computational Nuclear Engineer or Software Developer

About the role

• Take an active role in either modeling, simulation, and analytical support for nuclear systems and security applications or in developing software that will be deployed for nuclear systems.
• Work with scientists and engineers to develop, execute, and analyze computational models using state-of-the-art tools for radiation transport, reactor systems analysis, and systems-level modeling.
• Work with a full-stack software development team utilizing a variety of software languages, frameworks and modernization of legacy scientific codebases.
• Participate across multiple teams and gain exposure to problem solving and modeling and analysis workflow, including problem formulation, code development or application, verification and validation, interpretation of results, and software quality assurance.
• Attend group meetings within NEN-5 and participate in seminars and technical exchanges with other organizations across the Laboratory.

Located in beautiful northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security.
