About this role
Technical leadership role at TerraPower focused on mechanical performance analysis of advanced nuclear reactor components and structures. Lead a team of engineers conducting stress, fatigue, seismic, and dynamic analyses to support next-generation reactor design and development.
Responsibilities
- Work with a team of analysts to conduct mechanical analyses of reactor structures, systems, and nuclear island components to evaluate their performance
- Perform various analyses (stress, creep-fatigue, buckling, seismic, vibration) of reactor components using classical tools (Mathcad) and FEA software (ANSYS, ABAQUS)
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to perform static and dynamic analysis using both linear and non-linear approaches with FEA software
- Establish, review, approve and maintain documents of analysis results and design solutions
- Direct the team's development of required inputs and methodologies to establish structural sizing and load combinations for critical reactor components and interfaces
- Provide technical insights, mentorship and support high quality, clear work packages
- Identify, define and coordinate activities required for the successful design, analysis, and verification of reactor structures and components
- Participate in technical discussions on strategy, budget, goals, resources and team performance
Location, schedule, and travel
Onsite in Bellevue, Washington. Minimal physical exertion; ability to safely lift up to 25 pounds. Extended sitting with prolonged repetitive work; visual and audio focused tasks.
