GE Vernova
Lead Engineer - Probabilistic Risk & Reliability (Remote Eligible, U.S.)
GE Vernova, Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
Lead Engineer - Probabilistic Risk & Reliability (Remote Eligible, U.S.)
Risk and Reliability engineering is a cross‑functional discipline focused on structured risk assessment, methodology definition, and communication of insights that support plant safety and reliability. The role integrates probabilistic risk evaluation, system design, and licensing activities for nuclear plants and next‑generation reactors such as VTR, Natrium, and BWRX‑300.
Essential Responsibilities
Develop and maintain probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models of nuclear plant design and operational capabilities, executing PRA fundamentals in data collection, human reliability analysis, accident analysis, severe accident analysis, source‑term assessment, and PRA modeling tools.
Interface with other disciplines to advance risk‑informed designs, communicating findings to peers, management, and customers.
Analyze regulatory‑driven requirements to develop risk‑informed solutions that improve safety and reliability, delivering internal and external customer cost savings.
Apply integrated nuclear plant knowledge to develop digital applications such as data processing, condition monitoring, and data analytics to improve plant performance and reduce costs.
Provide technical guidance, training, and mentoring to new and experienced engineers, specialists, and managers.
Represent GVH to customers, nuclear regulators, and at industry meetings.
Authors and present state‑of‑the‑art PRA papers in technical publications and conferences.
Provide leadership for assigned organizational responsibilities, programs, and personnel.
Support the PRA Technical Leader by articulating work plans and coordinating technical work scopes, including proposals for client work.
Influence strategy development for the area of responsibility, controlling resources and shaping policy formulation.
Interpreting internal and external business challenges, recommending best practices and staying informed of industry trends.
Use high‑level judgment to make decisions and handle complex tasks in areas of operational, product management, manufacturing, technology, or engineering, assessing the quality of information and offering new solutions to problems outside set parameters.
May lead functional teams or projects with minimal resource requirements, risk, and/or complexity, communicating difficult concepts and influencing others’ options on particular topics.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Engineering from an accredited university or college.
Minimum of 5 years cumulative experience in executing PRA fundamentals including data, human reliability analysis, accident analysis, severe accidents, source‑term assessments, or related analytical skills.
Desired Characteristics
M.S. or Ph.D. in nuclear engineering discipline.
Proven problem‑analysis skills with demonstrated ability to clearly communicate results.
Experience in importance analysis, uncertainty analysis, and failure modes & effects analysis (FMEA) – 3+ years.
Experience developing Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 PRAs.
Extensive experience with PRA logic models and quantification codes, preferably CAFTA.
Detailed knowledge of Boiling Water Reactor operation and safety analysis.
Experience with NRC regulatory processes, Reg Guide 1.174, ASME/ANS PRA standards, 10 CFR 50.65 & 50.69, mitigating systems performance index (MSPI).
Experience in licensing modernization process and current risk‑informed regulatory topics.
Experience in fire and seismic PRA, reliability, availability, maintainability, inspectability (RAMI) programs, and industry PRA peer reviews.
Programming experience using CAFTA APIs, R+, Visual Basic.
Knowledge of international nuclear safety standards and practices.
Experience in BWR operations, maintenance, or engineering.
Strong oral and written communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.
Ability to document, plan, market, and execute programs with project management skills.
Benefits Healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision, prescription), health coach, 24/7 nurse‑based resource, Employee Assistance Program, GE Retirement Savings Plan, 401(k) match, tuition assistance, adoption assistance, paid parental leave, disability insurance, life insurance, paid time‑off for vacation or illness, and additional benefits as described.
Eligibility & Relocation The preferred location is the Wilmington, NC Headquarters, but highly qualified remote candidates will be considered. This role requires access to U.S. export‑controlled information and will be contingent on obtaining authorization from the U.S. Government.
Application Deadline November 30, 2025.
