About the role
- Lead the technical development, accuracy, and uncertainty qualification, testing, verification, and maintenance of analytical methods for evaluating steady-state and transient core/fuel performance.
- Develop single-phase and two-phase thermal-hydraulic test plans, interface with test personnel, perform data analysis, and develop empirical correlations or mechanistic models.
- Work with nuclear and mechanical engineering teams in the development of new fuel products/software in the area of thermal hydraulics.
- Work within a regulatory framework for nuclear software quality assurance for engineering programs.
- Prepare, document, and present technical data to both internal and external customers.
- Enhance team processes to drive efficiency and simplification; communicate effectively with method users through support, documentation, and training.
- Ensure high-quality work in compliance with NRC regulations, customer requirements, and business quality standards.
- Collaborate with team members globally across various time zones and interface with regulatory agencies (NRC, DOE, etc.) as necessary.
Requirements
- Ph.D. from an accredited university or college in nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, computational methods or a closely related technical discipline with a thesis or substantial coursework with thermal-hydraulics and two-phase flow.
- Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled information; final offers contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
- Comfortable with less than 10% travel.
- Preferred work location GEH Headquarters in Wilmington, NC; highly qualified US based remote candidates will be considered.
- Master’s Degree with 2 years of experience in thermal hydraulics (desired).
- Understanding of experimental and analytic aspects of two-phase flow fundamentals and two-phase flow phenomena during BWR and PWR steady-state operations, transients, and accidents (void fraction, two-phase pressure drop, flow regime transition, boiling/condensation heat transfer, critical heat flux/annular film dry out, post boiling transition heat transfer, rewet, counter-current flow limitation, critical flow, flow instability, drift-flux/two-fluid models).
- Experimental background in two-phase flow.
- Experience with thermal-hydraulic methods such as TRAC, TRACG, COBRAG, PANAC, RELAP, and ISCOR.
- Experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using tools like ANSYS-Fluent.
- Experience with Commercial Grade Dedication as per NQA-1 standards.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, and Fortran.
- Familiarity with nuclear reactor core licensing, technical specifications, safety margin bases, and related federal regulations.
- Publication of technical articles or patents (desired).
- Six Sigma Green Belt, Black Belt, or equivalent quality certification (desired).
