Nuclear Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and apply Monte Carlo simulations (e.g., MCNP, Geant4, FLUKA) for particle transport, shielding, and dose assessment in a fusion facility.
• Design and optimize radiation shielding for mixed neutron and gamma environments.
• Conduct experimental validation of neutron and gamma detection systems.
• Perform radiation transport analysis to improve system performance and safety.
• Develop and maintain radiation test environments for detector calibration and material testing.
• Support meteorological assessments related to radiation dispersion and environmental safety.
• Analyze radiation data for operational safety, shielding effectiveness, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on fusion technology development and radiation safety initiatives.

Qualifications & Skills

• Master’s or PhD in Nuclear Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Strong experience in Monte Carlo particle transport simulations (MCNP, Geant4, FLUKA, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with neutron and gamma detection techniques.
• Knowledge of radiation shielding, dose calculations, and safety assessments.
• Experience in radiation metrology and calibration techniques.
• Proficiency in data analysis and programming (Python, MATLAB, C++, etc.).
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (CNSC, NRC, IAEA standards).

Additional Requirements

• Must be able to travel and work extended hours/weekends as needed.
