Lead Engineer - Reactor System Modeling

Essential Responsibilities

• Maintain simulator models, which includes:
• Modifying the Safety Analysis TRACG base deck (and related files) to connect with the SAE Integrated Plant Design Environment (IPDE).
• Performing standalone TRACG analysis and custom methods testing for lean design work.
• Performing sensitivity studies with TRACG in the SAE Integrated Plant Design Environment.
• Simplifying and optimizing models for use in Full Scope Simulator training, which requires a focus on real-time execution, repeatability, and accuracy.
• Ownership, development, configuration, testing, and maintenance of basedeck and Graphical Engineering Station (GES) model interfaces (including models and methods code base) between TRACG and all other executable code under the main IPDE executive.
• Aid in maintaining a singular master plant simulation model in SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated and baselined as necessary.
• Develop and edit system models in an integrated simulation environment.
• Develop and run scenarios for single systems, collections of interrelated systems, or entire power plant for: startup, shutdown, and maneuvering throughout all modes of plant operations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or equivalent 4-year technical degree.
• Minimum 6 years of experience in an engineering role.
• Minimum 4 years of experience with thermal-hydraulic system codes (preferably TRACG or RELAP).

Eligibility Requirements

• Relocation to Wilmington, NC is required.
• This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.

Desired Qualifications

• Master of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics.
• Experience creating and modifying input models (“base decks”) in thermal-hydraulic system codes (e.g., nuclear power plant models, test facility models, etc.).
• Knowledge of common computer languages (C#, C++, etc.) and software development tools (Version control, IDE’s, Debuggers, etc.).
• Experience in software development.
• Design and analysis simulation [e.g.; 3KeyMaster/WSC].
• Experience developing high fidelity engineering simulator or FSS integrated with a DCS platform either via virtual controller or emulation.
