Mechanical Design Engineer

About the Role

As a Mechanical Design Engineer for the Reactor Internal Design Hardware Team, you will design Reactor Modification Hardware to support the ongoing operation and performance of the existing BWR Nuclear Fleet. This hardware is subjected to stringent nuclear, quality, and regulatory standards and is crucial for plant operation. These components will replace existing plant hardware to prevent failure or enhance performance, ensuring the safe and competitive operation of the BWR Fleet for years to come.

Key Responsibilities

• Design Reactor Modifications based on design input, product and customer requirements, industry codes and standards, and operating environment within defined schedule and cost limits.
• Prepare 3D models, drawings, perform analysis, and create specifications to support hardware development.
• Collaborate with the Tooling Team, Analysis Teams, Field Deployment Teams, and Services Business to deliver designs that meet standards for Nuclear Quality and Safety.
• Perform design reviews to present designs to engineering peers and leadership for feedback.
• Provide technical support throughout the procurement and fabrication process.
• Document the final design to ensure it meets all application and design requirements.
• Engage in emergent issue support of customers during Outage Season to solve challenging problems with technical guidance and fast-paced design, build, test response.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university or college.
• 3-month relevant research, internship, or Co-op experience is desired.
• Experience in mechanical design and drafting practices (2D drawings, 3D modeling) is desired.
• Strong mechanical aptitude, desire to innovate and solve problems with mechanical design.
• Effective oral and written communication of progress, ideas, plans, and output.
