Component Analysis Engineer

Hadron Energy, Inc. is hiring a Component Analysis Engineer to support the design, analysis, and fabrication of its micro modular reactor. The role focuses on structural and thermal-hydraulic validation of reactor components, including modeling design loads, conducting code-compliant analyses, and reviewing technical documentation.

Responsibilities:

• Develop system-level models to characterize thermal, seismic, and other design loading conditions to establish the structural design basis for component analysis
• Perform various analyses including stress, fatigue, buckling, seismic, and vibration of reactor components using classical tools like Mathcad and finite element analysis (FEA) software like ANSYS
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to perform static and dynamic analysis using both linear and non-linear approaches
• Work with interdisciplinary teams to establish and optimize nuclear component designs consistent with required functional and safety requirements
• Prepare and review documentation of analysis results and design solutions
• Support the development of required inputs and methodologies to establish structural sizing and design basis loads for reactor components and interfaces
• Perform rigorous peer reviews to maintain quality standards per the engineering procedures
• Assist management with technical planning, strategy, and acting as a technical point of contact for component analysis tasks
• Mentor junior engineers and team members to build a highly skilled and confident analysis team

Requirements:

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or Civil Engineering
• Minimum 10 years of related experience with a proven ability to produce high-quality technical work products
• Extensive experience in the analysis of components to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section III, Division 1 or similar (Section VIII Division 2)
• Working experience with other codes and standards such as ASME Section VIII, B31.1, B31.3, ASCE 4, ASCE 7, and/or ASCE 43
• Proficiency in finite element stress analysis, mechanical analysis methods, and modeling tools with emphasis on ANSYS
• Strong understanding of solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, and metal fatigue principles
• Experience developing static and dynamic loads for component design
• Demonstrated experience in mechanical analysis of equipment using elastic, elastic-plastic, or inelastic analysis methods
• Experience working under stringent quality assurance programs such as ASME NQA-1, MIL-Q-9858A, or ISO-9000
• Expertise in detail-oriented review of drawings, documents, and calculations to ensure consistency and technical rigor
• Registered professional engineer, or ability to obtain active license within 6-months
• Appendix XXIII Certifying Engineer Qualification, or the ability to demonstrate and achieve this qualification within 12-months
• Proficiency in utilizing Mathcad and Python for engineering calculations and automation
• Excellent communication skills and a high degree of integrity, with a desire to foster teamwork in a fast-paced environment
• A high degree of integrity, a desire to foster teamwork, and a passion for solving complex challenges
