Senior Mechanical Engineer

It`s time to build!

Join us in developing the zero-emission energy solutions of the future!

We firmly believe that nuclear power will be a major part of the solution for future zero-emission maritime propulsion systems. The team realizing this ambition is being created now. Do you want to be a part of it?

Senior Mechanical Engineer

About the position:

We are looking for you to be part of a growing team of motivated colleagues to develop, test and build our maritime Gen IV nuclear power systems to power future ships. You will contribute to build the first prototype of a complete marine nuclear power system based on our gas‑cooled reactor technology. A significant part of the work is preparing, producing, testing and improving the different components in the system, while at the same time building the complete power system test rig and demonstrating this in a moving environment. We are looking for a strong personal interest in the topic and a drive to create safe and sustainable solutions for tomorrow. You will report to the Head of Engineering & Testing – Norway.

Responsibilities:

• Creating, testing and improving reactor system parts and solutions
• Design and build test environments for different parts.
• Take part in building the complete nuclear power system with test facilities, and perform the testing required.
• Collaborate closely with the nuclear engineers in Emerald Nuclear Inc., as well as our partners and suppliers.

Qualifications:

• Strong interest in working with complex thermal energy systems and engineering challenges.
• Minimum 10 years of experience within the topic of mechanical engineering, systems engineering, thermodynamics, and/or material engineering.
• Master-level education within Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or similar topics. Bachelor level candidates may also apply combined with relevant work experience.
• Minimum 5 years of practical work experience within materials or mechanical production.
• Experience with building and handling digital control systems or sensor networks is an advantage.
• Previous experience with nuclear technology is not required. Necessary training in nuclear applications will be provided.
• Strong interest in nuclear energy, mechanical engineering, maritime technology and similar topics.
• Works independently, but comfortable with teamwork.
• Interested in working with and solving challenges.
• Structured and methodical.
• Proactive and positive attitude.

Why Emerald Nuclear ?

This is your opportunity to participate in the beginning of a groundbreaking new industry development. With us you are not just working with a new type of technology. You will be part of the development of a completely new energy platform for maritime applications, with the potensial to combine zero‑emission technololgy, unprecedented energy density and high reliability.

We can offer:

• The opportunity to work with innovative and ground‑breaking new technology
• Be a part of creating completely new prototypes
• Work in the apex between nuclear technology, mechanics and thermal systems.
• Competitive salary, pension scheme and insurance package
• Free parking.
• Work location at our engineering and test hub at Stette near the town of Ålesund.

We are building the team now:

Emerald Nuclear Norway shall lead market development, engineering, testing and the construction of maritime nuclear power systems. We have a very strong ambition to launch a demonstrator in 2031. And we need competent people on this journey. Are you ready to go?

Additional positions soon to be announced soon:

It's time to build! Emerald Nuclear Norway AS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerald Nuclear Inc., a maritime nuclear energy company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Located in Ålesund, Norway, the company aims to lead market development, engineering, testing, and commerzialisation of maritime nuclear energy systems. Lately there has been a fundamental shift in attitudes toward nuclear energy and its role in the decarbonisation of the maritime industry.
Nuclear energy has the potential to provide a commercially viable zero-emission alternative to fossil fuels, while delivering the energy efficiency, endurance, and operational reliability required by the maritime market. We place the highest focus on the safety, security and safeguards in order to protect people, ships, communities, and the environment throughout the entire lifecycle of the ship and its nuclear energy system. Our objective is clear: to enable the deployment of the first commercial nuclear-powered offshore demonstration vessel on the Norwegian Continental Shelf by 2031.
