Job Description

Lead Engineer - Simulation Assisted Engineering (SAE) works within the Advanced Nuclear Engineering team by enabling LEAN integrated plant design (IPD) using modern digital engineering tools and techniques.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate in cross-functional environment of, Systems, Instrumentation & Controls, and Human Factors Engineering to successful deployment, implementation, and lifecycle stewardship of the multi-organization and multi-geographic SAE environment.
Assist in maintaining a singular master plant simulation model in SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated and baselined as necessary.
Develop and edit system models in an integrated simulation environment.
Develop and run scenarios for single systems, collections of interrelated systems, or entire power plant for: startup, shutdown, and maneuvering throughout all modes of plant operations.
Collaborate with simulation software supplier to prepare plans, procedures, and reports then perform factory acceptance test (FAT) and site acceptance test (SAT) for simulator, Discrepancy Reports (DR), enhancement requests, technical oversight issues, and training needs.
Collaborate with Engineering Discipline teams to prepare, review, and implement SAE modelling:

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or equivalent 4-year technical degree.
Minimum of 4 years' experience in Engineering or similar technical experience.
Experience in simulation using modern physics, mathematics, and software-based modeling tools for design, analysis, or training involving, nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics, plant process fluidic and mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control, monitoring systems.
Knowledge of common computer languages (C#, C++, etc.) and software development tools (Version control, IDE’s, Debuggers, etc.).
Experience in software development.
Experience using modern digital engineering collaboration and design tools such as:
Content creation [e.g., Confluence/Atlassian],
Requirements management [e.g., DOORS-NextGen/IBM],
Diagram and drawing [e.g., Visio/Microsoft, AutoCAD/Autodesk],
Design and analysis simulation [e.g., Easy5/MSC, Simulink-MATLAB/MathWorks, Mathcad/PTC, 3KeyMaster/WSC, JADE/GSE, Orchid/L3MAPPS-Harris],
Change, configuration, document and bill of material (BOM) management [e.g., ENOVIA/Dassault-Systemes].
Experience developing high fidelity engineering simulator or FSS integrated with a DCS platform either via virtual controller or emulation.
Knowledge of:
ANSI/ANS-3.5-2009 Nuclear Power Plant simulators for use in operator training and examination
REG GUIDE 1.149 Nuclear Power Plant Simulation Facilities for use in operator training, License examination and applicant experience requirements.
This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
