Full Job Description
About This Role

We are seeking a skilled Integrated Safety Analysis Engineer to support the development and implementation of the Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA). You will support the identification and maintenance of Items Relied On For Safety (IROFS), as well as ensure compliance with criticality, chemical process, fire safety strategies, and detailed nuclear safety designs. This position is also responsible for maintaining the ISA Summary and all related documentation to meet regulatory standards.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain Safety Basis Documents to ensure compliance with regulatory and design requirements.
  • Analyze and adapt safety principles from reference plants, incorporating them into the project's IROFS designs.
  • Evaluate interfaces of systems to ensure proper integration with other safety equipment.
  • Understand, document, and manage system interfaces to ensure accuracy and clarity.
  • Evaluate design changes against the license application to identify impacts on the ISA following 10CFR70 requirements.
  • Collaborate with the Licensing team to maintain and update the ISA Summary and other safety documentation.
  • Provide technical input for the Integrated Schedule and coordinate safety-related project activities.
  • Support safety reviews, including Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Criticality Safety Analysis (CSA), Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA), and External Hazard Analysis (EHA).
  • Assist in the development and implementation of the Nuclear Safety Programs, as well as other safety-related plans and procedures.

Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees (MS, MBA, or PhD) may substitute for up to 2-3 years of experience, depending on the degree level.
  • 4+ years of experience in experience in nuclear safety, process safety, or similar high-hazard environments.
  • Familiarity with safety analysis methodologies, for example:
    • Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)
    • Criticality Safety Analysis (CSA)
    • Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA)
    • External Hazard Analysis (EHA)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for conveying technical safety data to diverse audiences.
  • Ability to work collaboratively across engineering, operations, and licensing teams.

Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc)
  • Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.
  • Relevant internship or co-op experience in industries such as nuclear, chemical, petroleum, or aerospace.
  • Experience with IROFS, ISA, ISA Summaries, Safety Analysis Reports (SAR), HAZOP, and Risk Determination.
  • Familiarity with the NRC 10CFR70 license application process.
  • Familiarity with NRC safety standards and relevant regulatory frameworks.
  • Knowledge or experience with vacuum systems, cryogenics, compressible flow, or nuclear chemical processes.
  • In lieu of nuclear related experience, a strong preference will be given to candidates with petrochemical ISA engineering experience.

Additional Requirements:
  • Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.

Compensation and Benefits

The base salary range for this role is $100,000-$190,000 annually.

Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data.
