Roles and Responsibilities:
  • Assist with neutronics modeling and simulations using MCNP, Serpent, or SCALE
  • Support Multiphysics analyses (thermal-hydraulics, heat transfer, structural mechanics)
  • Participate in experimental validation of simulation results
  • Collaborate with senior engineers on iterative design tasks
  • Contribute to documentation and regulatory reporting
  • Participate in hardware demonstrations and prototype testing


Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering or related technical field
  • Familiarity with neutron transport software (MCNP, Serpent, SCALE)


Preferred Skills & Experience:
  • Familiarity with Python or similar programming language
  • Coursework or internships involving Multiphysics modeling
  • Interest or experience in microreactors, heat pipe cooled reactors, or other advanced reactors
  • Exposure to fast-paced project environments
  • Proven ability to quickly learn new technical concepts
  • Strong communication skills
