Aerospace, Nuclear, and Civil Engineering degrees are also considered.
+ Minimum of 10+ years of related experience with a B.S. degree, or 6+ years with an M.S. degree, or 3+ years with Ph.D. degree.
+ Proficient in finite element stress analysis, mechanical analysis methods and commercial mechanical stress analysis and modeling tools with emphasis on ANSYS and SolidWorks.
+ Strong understanding of solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, and fatigue failure.
+ Candidates should have demonstrated experience in mechanical analysis of equipment or components.

This may include structural analysis, buckling analysis, thermal analysis, and/or creep fatigue / inelastic analysis.
+ Candidate should have demonstrated experience in seismic analysis of equipment or components; in particular, experience with response spectrum and time history modeling techniques in accordance with the requirements of ASCE 4, and/or ASCE 43 is highly desirable.
+ Experience or familiarity working under stringent quality assurance requirements such as ASME NQA-1, MIL-Q-9858A, or ISO-9000.
+ Working experience with pressure equipment design codes and standards such as ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III, Div.

1 and 5, Section VIII Div.

2, Process Piping analysis code B31.1 and B31.3 is highly desirable.
+ Familiarity with structural design codes and standards such as AISC N690, AISC 360, AWS D1.1, and AWS D1.6 is desirable.
+ Experienced with conceptual design and sizing for equipment and structural components through basic calculation and utilizing Mathcad.
+ Strong communication skills and collaborative teamwork is highly desired.
+ The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect and a desire to foster teamwork.


Preferred Qualifications
+ Highly skilled performing finite element analysis of reactor components using Ansys workbench and/or APDL.
+ Experienced with implementing and interpretation of ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code Section III and/or Section VIII.
+ Thorough understanding of code and standards requirements related to the seismic design of equipment (i.e., ASCE 4, ASCE 43).
+ Working knowledge of computer code development and knowledgeable in programming tools such as Python.
+ Working experience utilizing Mathcad.
+ Previous experience in the nuclear industry.


Benefits
+ Competitive compensation
+ Paid time off (PTO) and vacation days
