Full Job Description
What You'll Do Day-To-Day
As part of the Fuel Design Engineering organization, an Engineer III on the Mechanical Analysis team performs broad, complex engineering assignments focused on static and dynamic analysis of fuel assemblies. The primary responsibility is to ensure fuel assemblies maintain coolable geometries and rod insertability during both normal and abnormal operating conditions, supporting the integrity of plant operations. This includes conducting analyses such as seismic, LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident), buckling, component stresses, assembly bow, and flow-induced vibration (FIV) to verify that any design changes or modifications to operating parameters remain within the plant's established operating basis. The role requires originality, ingenuity, and the application of advanced technical methods to support planning, design, and evaluation activities, with minimal direction from higher-level engineering staff.
In carrying out these responsibilities, the Engineer III is expected to:
Performs non-standard engineering, varied engineering, and new-to-you assignments typically in areas of design, development, analysis, evaluation, testing, preparation of specifications, execution of field tasks and resolution of field problems and resolution of quality events.
Receives minimal assistance and instruction and works autonomously on most assignments and solutions.
Ensures compliance with government regulations, organization, industry and customer engineering standards.
Independently evaluates, selects and applies a variety of technical techniques, procedures, and criteria using judgement in making adaptations and modifications for tasks not previously performed.
Continues to develop knowledge of organization, processes and customers.
Works on special projects, as directed.
Provides suggestions for improving processes and implementing process improvements.
Maintain a safety mindset.
