Refueling & Remote Handling Engineer 3

Role Overview

You will work on the Refueling & Remote Handling engineering group responsible for fuel and reactor module handling. This includes designing and developing remotely operated/controlled robotic and tele-operated tooling, along with inspection equipment and supporting control systems used during reactor servicing and refueling outages.

Responsibilities

• Develop solutions to complex, multi-disciplinary engineering problems using creativity and innovation.
• Collaborate across NuScale to develop reactor servicing tools, inspection equipment, and control systems.
• Prepare and review engineering deliverables including:
  • reports, system descriptions, specifications
  • drawings and calculations
  • design documents focused on tooling and inspection systems
• Work with:
  • Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) Component Design to ensure tooling interface features meet functional/performance requirements
  • Civil/Structural to ensure interfaces between tooling systems and site buildings meet requirements
  • Systems Engineering and Operations to define work sequences and handling plans as part of an integrated tool design scheme
• Help develop and maintain engineering standards and criteria.
• Plan and organize complex engineering efforts; interpret scope and requirements and develop alternative methods to meet project goals.
• Support procurement activities related to equipment design, fabrication, and testing.
• Self-manage workload and deadlines and assist other teams with technical problem-solving.

Requirements

• Strong problem-solving skills for complex/sensitive engineering situations; gather/review information and use independent judgment.
• Ability to produce, read, and interpret complex engineering documentation and communicate effectively (oral and written).
• Demonstrate creativity/innovation to improve equipment efficiency and reliability and overcome technical challenges.
• Competence in planning/organizing work and managing timelines.
• Adaptability to changing priorities, frequent interruptions, and unexpected events.
• Willingness to be taught additional knowledge required for designing remote/automated equipment in a nuclear environment.

Nice-to-haves

• (Implied) Experience collaborating across engineering and operations groups on integrated tooling/inspection systems for nuclear refueling environments.
