Nuclear Fluid Systems Engineer

The Nuclear Fluid Systems Engineer will be responsible for: Key Responsibilities Design, analyze, and optimize fluid-based systems in nuclear power plants, research reactors, and other nuclear facilities. Ensure the safe and efficient operation of cooling, steam, and hydraulic systems while maintaining strict compliance with nuclear safety and regulatory standards. Work closely with reactor engineers, regulatory agencies, and maintenance teams to develop and improve system performance, reliability, and safety. Primary Duties Design, analyze, and optimize nuclear fluid systems, including reactor coolant, steam generation, condensate, and hydraulic systems. Conduct thermal-hydraulic modeling, flow analysis, and pressure drop calculations to ensure system efficiency and safety. Develop and maintain system documentation, including flow diagrams, P&IDs, operating procedures, and safety reports. Perform system reliability assessments, troubleshoot, and conduct root cause analysis for fluid system failures. Ensure compliance with NRC regulations, ASME codes, and other industry standards. Collaborate with reactor engineers, safety specialists, and regulatory bodies to enhance fluid system performance. Support the testing, commissioning, and maintenance of fluid systems in nuclear facilities. Assist in plant modifications, upgrades, and retrofits for improved efficiency and regulatory compliance. Evaluate material compatibility and corrosion effects to ensure long-term fluid system integrity. Provide technical support and training to plant operators and maintenance personnel. Education Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or a related field. Experience 3-7 years in fluid system design, thermal-hydraulic analysis, or nuclear plant operations (entry-level positions may require internships or co-op experience). Certifications (Preferred) Professional Engineer (PE) license. ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) certification, or equivalent industry credentials. Expertise Fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer principles. Proficiency Hydraulic modeling and simulation software (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, STAR CCM+, Flowmaster). Knowledge Nuclear reactor coolant systems, heat exchangers, and steam turbines. Familiarity ASME BPVC, NRC regulatory requirements, and ANSI standards for nuclear fluid systems. Experience (Additional) Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) is a plus. Strengths Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. Skills Effective communication and teamwork skills for collaboration with engineers, operators, and regulatory agencies. Attention to Detail A commitment to nuclear safety and compliance. Ability Work under pressure and manage multiple projects with strict deadlines. Preferred PhD degree. IPO experience. Written and oral fluency in Italian. Ability to build relationships and influence at all levels of the organization. #J-18808-Ljbffr
