Nuclear Engineer
Aberdeen / Cambridge, UK
Join an exciting new project developing the next generation of offshore nuclear energy. This is a rare opportunity to work with an innovative company bringing together nuclear technology, engineering and offshore energy.
You'll be part of a team developing factory-built nuclear power platforms designed for offshore deployment. Working across reactor design, analysis and testing, you'll have the opportunity to see your technical work directly influence real engineering systems.
This is a great opportunity to develop your experience within an innovative nuclear business, working on technology that could play an important role in the future of offshore energy generation.
What you'll do
Carry out core physics, thermal-hydraulic and shielding analyses to support reactor design decisions. You'll translate your findings into clear engineering requirements, helping the wider team make important technical decisions.
You'll also support the development of the nuclear safety case and contribute to regulatory discussions as the company grows. A key part of the role will involve validating your analysis against physical hardware and experimental results in the laboratory and workshop.
What you'll need
- A background in reactor physics and thermal hydraulics.
- Experience with relevant engineering tools such as OpenMC, Serpent, MCNP, RELAP, TRACE, Ansys or similar.
- Confidence developing your own scripts and analysis tools.
- An understanding of engineering conservatism, uncertainty and design margins.
- Exposure to nuclear licensing or safety case development would be beneficial but isn't
essential.
