The Mechanical Analysis Engineer is responsible for the delivery of high-quality engineering analyses
Develop creative solutions and reduce analysis complexity to create accurate and effective solutions for complex engineering problems
Analyze primary plant structures to develop loads and response characteristics
Qualify RPV or Reactor Internals repairs or replacement components considering static, dynamic, thermal, and flow-induced loads
Engage customers to define scope, review results, and discuss technical risks
Work with the technical leader to establish an effective work plan, including time estimates, schedule estimates, requirements, and work processes
Apply vibration and acoustics first principle analytical methods (e.g., strouhal calculations for acoustic resonance, structural natural frequency calculation based on mass and stiffness, etc.)
Development of numerical acoustic models of the reactor internals, reactor steam dome, and reactor systems (e.g., main steam line and attached components) utilizing ANSYS finite element software or other similar numerical methods
Translation and manipulation of data between the time and frequency domain including (e.g., calculation of power spectral density (PSD plots) from time domain data) for development of bias and uncertainty between calculated and measured response
Support test planning and execution for validation of GVH designs
Provide clear and complete analysis documentation in accordance with GE engineering procedures
Analysis results typically provided in an engineering report for use by external customers
Ability to present analysis results in a clear, organized and concise manner
Manage time effectively to provide quality deliverables within the expected project timeline
Communicate effectively to leadership the status of work activities
Effectively manage multiple priorities
