Overview

System One is hiring a Mechanical Designer. In this role, you will create structural and mechanical design solutions for test-related designs (e.g. test fixtures, test rigs, flow loops, sub-scale test articles, etc.), 3D CAD models, and engineering drawings for the conceptual and preliminary design development of advanced Generation IV nuclear reactors. Candidates must have extensive experience in mechanical/structural design and drafting using a mainstream CAD system.

Responsibilities

• Create structural and mechanical design solutions for test-related designs (e.g., test fixtures, test rigs, flow loops, sub-scale test articles).

• Develop 3D CAD models and engineering drawings for advanced Generation IV nuclear reactors in accordance with industry standards.

• Produce robust CAD models utilizing advanced modeling techniques to facilitate rapid design evolution and derivative creation.

• Develop and maintain highly complex mechanical designs, conducting trade studies to identify optimal solutions.

• Support analysis needs by configuring models for structural, neutronics, thermal-hydraulic, radiological, and safety considerations.

• Document design progress, changes, and decisions in online collaboration platforms.

• Create technical presentations, reports, and supporting documents as needed.

• Design engineering drawings per ASME standards, perform tolerance stack-up calculations, and review drawings for accuracy.

• Maintain configuration control of models and drawings using product data management software.

• Proactively contribute to standards development and propose improvements to design documentation.

Requirements

• B.S. degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, or equivalent with 3+ years of relevant experience.

• Proficiency in SolidWorks CAD software.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently on multiple tasks.

• Excellent organizational, writing, and communication skills.

• Experience with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5 standards.

• Experience checking fabrication drawings and in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).

• Background in Mechanical and Machine Design, preferably with over seven years of CAD proficiency.

• Familiarity with product data management (PDM) systems.

• Experience working in quality standards like ASME NQA-1 or ISO 9001 preferred.

• Nuclear design experience and oversight of supplier and subcontractor organizations highly desirable.

• Experience with complex mechanical components testing, especially in high-temperature environments.

• Knowledge of nuclear quality fabrication, lifecycle management, and related processes (e.g., In-Service Inspection, material surveillance, vibration programs).

• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with diverse, geographically dispersed teams.
