Centrus Energy Corp is a leading provider of advanced nuclear fuel and services, dedicated to supporting the global energy transition through innovative solutions. They are seeking a highly skilled Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to design, analyze, and optimize piping and mechanical systems within process-control environments. The role involves overseeing projects, ensuring compliance with standards, and leading innovative system design initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, construction, and maintenance of facility piping systems, including component sizing and equipment selection such as pumps, motors, heaters, blowers, and valves
• Utilize CFD, FEA, and other modeling tools to analyze pressure, flow, and thermal effects, validating piping integrity under static and dynamic loads, and performing pipe-stress and structural analyses
• Develop, review, and red-line mechanical and piping drawings, plans, and specifications based on engineering calculations, ensuring compliance with relevant codes, standards, and regulatory requirements
• Plan, schedule, and coordinate detailed phases of engineering work for major projects or moderate scope projects, including preparing ROMs, detailed cost estimates, equipment specifications, and procurement documentation
• Participate in safety reviews, quality assurance activities, training sessions, and regulatory audits, continuously seeking opportunities to incorporate emerging technologies and best practices into design processes
• Produce comprehensive technical reports, literature reviews, and progress updates; present findings and project status to stakeholders and senior management effectively
• Supervise and mentor junior engineers and technical support staff, providing guidance on mechanical and fluid-system design, troubleshooting, and equipment modifications to resolve malfunctions
• Perform additional related tasks as assigned to support project objectives and organizational goals

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field from an accredited institution, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• A minimum of five years of relevant mechanical design engineering experience, particularly focused on piping and fluid systems in industrial liquid or gas processes
• Demonstrated expertise in pressure-drop calculations, fluid-flow optimization, and equipment sizing and selection
• Proficiency in static and dynamic piping analyses, including pipe-stress and support-structure calculations
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards, such as ASME or equivalent
• Solid understanding of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Q security clearance
• Professional Engineer (PE) licensure
• Certifications in project management or quality assurance
• Experience working in highly regulated or process-driven industries such as nuclear, chemical processing, oil & gas, or HVAC
