• Perform structural and stress analyses for reactor pressure vessels and internal components using finite element analysis (FEA) tools and closed-form equations.
• Develop and run ANSYS models to evaluate both mechanical and thermal stresses under various service level conditions.
• Support engineering evaluations to demonstrate compliance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III requirements, with primary focus on Subsections NG and NB.
• Generate dynamic loads for the reactor pressure vessel due to earthquake and large pipe break.
• Prepare technical reports, calculation packages, and documentation supporting regulatory and design requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including design engineers, system engineers, project managers, and external partners.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience performing structural analysis, internship may be considered.
