Job description:

You will be part of our multidisciplinary product department, consisting of nuclear, mechanical and marine engineering teams that are developing and integrating advanced nuclear technology for marine applications. We work closely with nuclear vendors, co-developing and integrating GenIV reactor technologies such as fast molten salt reactors and heat pipe microreactors.

Key Responsibilities:

Your key responsibilities will be to own the development, testing and validation of CFD models for both nuclear and non-nuclear systems, including liquid fuel and heat pipe systems. The models will be used to solve various heat transfer problems relating to operation and decay heat removal, as well as examine the effects of marine motions and simulate sloshing.

You will also be responsible for presenting your models and results, both internally and externally, as well as contributing to scientific publications, attending technical conferences and events.

Educational Requirements:

• Master’s level degree in Engineering or Physics, having taken modules in fluid dynamics and thermal hydraulics.

Required Skills/ Experience:

• Experienced with using a CFD modelling workflow, starting from CAD, meshing and setting up transient models, data post processing and visualisation, V&V.
• Experienced with presenting results in technical reports and presentations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to present work to a non-nuclear audience.
• Ability to manage information based on strict confidentiality and non-disclosure standards

Technical Competencies:

• Solid knowledge of computational fluid dynamics and the physics of heat transfer in fluids.
• Knowledge of reactor physics is a plus.
• Preferred software and OS experience: Open FOAM, MOOSE, SOLIDWORKS, C++, Python, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Windows, Linux

Benefits:

• Competitive salary.
• Performance-based bonuses.
• Health and wellness benefits.
• Pension plan.
• Opportunity to travel in Europe and United States, for technical meetings with our international partners, trainings, conferences and more. Total time away projected to be less than 10% of total working hours, is voluntary but encouraged.
