Familiarity with Linux or other Unix-like operating environments used for analysis execution, automation, and software development.
Demonstrated leadership in mentoring, team development, or cross disciplinary technical efforts.
Experience supporting reload licensing or plant modification safety evaluations.
What You Will Do
Serve as the technical authority for Chapter 15 Non LOCA transient categories
Lead development and review of analyses using deterministic or statistical/best estimate methods, ensuring that modeling approaches are appropriate for the transient type, plant application, and licensing context.
Oversee evaluation of plant response, protection system performance, and margin to acceptance criteria in accordance with regulatory and licensing basis guidance.
Direct the creation, enhancement, and qualification of system models using tools such as RELAP, RETRAN 3D, TRACE, MARS, or MOOSE based frameworks.
Provide technical direction and oversight for high impact calculation packages, safety analysis reports, and modeling methodologies.
Ensure all analytical approaches and results meet licensing, regulatory, and NQA 1 quality requirements.
Provide senior level support during customer meetings, audits, regulatory interactions, and technical reviews.
Mentor senior and junior analysis staff across thermal hydraulics, modeling practices, and regulatory expectations.
Lead cross functional engineering teams to resolve complex Non LOCA analysis challenges.
Act as a key technical representative for Framatome within internal and external forums.
Why This Role Is Exceptional
Principal level influence over Framatome's Non LOCA methodology strategy and analytical frameworks.
Opportunity to shape next generation deterministic and statistical transient analysis approaches.
Engagement with diverse reactor designs, modeling tools, and analytical challenges.
A high visibility role that directly impacts plant safety, licensing, and long-term analytical capability.
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Engineering. Dependent on the position, degrees in Physics, Engineering Technology and Engineering Science may also be accepted.
Minimum of 7 years of related experience.
