Duties

Lead structural evaluations and provide technical consultation and guidance on the analysis and design of power plant components. Knowledge in the areas of pressure vessel analysis and design, and familiarity with national codes and standards, e.g. ASME pressure vessel codes, would be a plus.

Have demonstrated knowledge with some of the following aspects of structural analysis, including engineering mechanics, finite element analysis, thermal/mechanical analysis, fracture mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, shock, vibration, fluid dynamics and related technologies.

Review and evaluate equipment specifications and vendor proposals for overall structural requirements.

Assess adequacy of component structural evaluations performed by suppliers to demonstrate the component structural integrity through independent verification and/or technical reviews.

Represent the Company at technical meetings with suppliers, other prime contractors, and the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program Representatives.

Experience 

Two to five years

Experience in mechanical analysis/design, with emphasis on structural analysis and material behavior requirements. Demonstrated experience using finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering techniques. Proven track record of effective written and verbal communication skills and creative problem solving capabilities. Prefer familiarity with pressure vessel design codes and material failure theories, experience using principles of fracture mechanics and related topics, and working knowledge of thermal stresses, plates and shell theory, or dynamic analysis including shock and vibration evaluation.

Degree

Required: BS in Mechanical or Civil engineering, Applied Mechanics or related disciplines.

Preferred: M.S. in Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace Engineering or Applied Mechanics with concentration in structural mechanics.

Travel

Limited (less than 5%)
