Our client is seeking to contract with a capable and motivated early career engineer to develop analysis methods and software for analyzing sodium fast reactor core components and systems. The position is broad in scope and may include methods development, analysis, software development, support for validation testing activities, and software verification and validation. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in engineering analysis principles, including fundamental solid mechanics and finite element methods. They should also be competent in Python and have a strong understanding of object-oriented programming.
Preference will be given to local candidates who are able to be on site several days a week.
Responsibilities
Client's technology is controlled for export by various agencies of the U.S. Government.
