You Will:- Manage, develop, and assist the subject matter experts responsible for quantifying fusion yield via nuclear diagnostics and simulating radiation environments using neutronics simulation codes
- Own and manage the delivery of Helion's nuclear engineering needs such as shielding design, activation analysis, dose estimation, and diagnostic development
- Manage the performance of nuclear engineers and conduct hiring actions to build the team as scope demands
- Translate annual goals into objective tasks and manage month-to-month planning towards completing goals and objectives
- Drive schedule ownership to accelerate the completion of milestones
Required Skills:- 3+ years of experience managing a nuclear-engineering-related technical team that delivered a high-impact final product, expanding a talent-dense team via a hiring process and owning the schedule for a critical path facet of a milestone project
- Experience performing neutronics simulations using MCNP as demonstrated via implementing variance reduction techniques and performing simulation-measurement verification for moderately complex geometries
- Hands-on experience handling radioactive material including neutron sources (e.g., Cf-252, AmBe, neutron generators), and experience operating diagnostic detectors (e.g., scintillators, He-3, activation foils)
- Successful and autonomous mentorship of employees of a wide range of expertise, experience, and backgrounds, demonstrated e.g., via several performance review cycles and successful coaching of direct reports
- Fluent in some people management systems (e.g., recruiting, timecard management, spend approval, and performance reviews) and applying company policies as described in an employee handbook
