This role is direct hire, 100% remote with no more than 10% travel.
Compensation $120-140K+ (based on experience), plus full benefits.
Our client is a leader in the design and manufacture of custom-engineered pumps and motors for critical applications in power generation, nuclear research, and small modular reactor (SMR) development. They design, engineer, and manufacture to order.
To support a large contract with a SMR to custom engineer and manufacture reactor pumps for a new build, they are expanding their Advanced Nuclear Group and have created new Design Engineer position.
The people hired into these roles will provide non-supervisory engineering work though all phases of new unit design, development, manufacture, test, and commissioning.
Requirements:
- Due to Federal Contract requirements, US Citizenship is required for this position.
- BSME and 3+ years of mechanical engineering design and analysis for rotating machinery such as pumps and motors, turbomachinery, rotordynamics analysis
- Background with nuclear power generation equipment
- Strong SolidWorks (or comparable software) or solid modeling
- ASME BPVC design, ideally with focus in ASME Section VIII Division 2 or ASME Section III
- Experience with some FEA analysis (static, thermal, frequency, transient, non-linear)
- Ability to read & interpret engineering drawings, standards and specs. Comfortable with GD&T
- Comprehensive understanding of mechanical engineering principles associates with the design, analysis and operation of centrifugal pumps
- PE license or ability to gain it
Plusses:
- Analysis experience with complex loading combinations and seismic analysis
- Clean-sheet mechanical/machine design (design of large fabrications/weldments
- High temperature design experience
- Experience with NQA-1 quality program and safety related equipment
Responsibilities:
- Translate contract design specifications and code requirements into the requisite product design of components, subassemblies, and assemblies
- Preparation of manufacturing drawings, contractual submittals, calculations and analysis, procedures, test plans, and reports
- Utilize FEA software for stress/structural analyses, frequency analyses, seismic analysis, and thermal analyses
- Provide technical support to end users during the installation and commissioning of the manufactured equipment
- Support all aspects of unit design including initial planning, concepting, mechanical design, material selection, calculations, and (possibly) test plan creation
- Interface with customers and vendors as required in the performance of design activities
