This role provides design engineering support to the TRISO-X fuel production facility, from research and development to system design, installation, testing, and maintenance. The role contributes to the design, assembly, testing, and maintenance of mechanical and process equipment, furthering the design and licensing of the TRISO-X Facility. Job Profile Tasks/Responsibilities
Create designs for various process support systems (chemical, piping, HVAC, ventilation, structural, electro-mechanical, automation, and robotics). Support the process, facility design, and fuel development teams. Create and document engineering designs (requirements, specifications, mechanical drawings, process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), engineering calculations, etc.). Conduct energy modeling, simulations, and engineering calculations to enhance efficiency and sustainability, ensuring all designs meet regulatory and safety standards. Coordinate with design teams to ensure seamless integration of HVAC and other mechanical systems into the overall building design and support the development of fuel manufacturing processes. Work with contractors to clarify design intent, resolve technical issues, and provide solutions to site challenges. Select and order parts for process systems (motors, drives, sensors, pumps, valves, etc.). Assemble parts to build prototype designs. Operate process equipment to perform design verification and validation and conduct quality assurance checks and site inspections to verify work compliance, addressing any deviations or deficiencies. Perform design engineering activities to support fuel manufacturing (reliability, maintenance, process improvement, failure analysis, cost estimation, etc.). Develop standard operating procedures. Develop maintenance plans for process equipment and support systems. Participate in teams to develop standardized engineering workflows and documentation. Maintain professional demeanor and behavior at all times in all forms of communication. Lead the execution of the core tasks and responsibilities, listed in the Job Profile Task/Responsibilities section of this document, without close supervision and some latitude for independent judgment. Provide feedback and guidance to more junior team members with the execution of the core tasks and responsibilities listed in the Job Profile Task/Responsibilities section of this document. Lead small groups of engineers to solve complex technical problems and deliver high-quality engineering work products on time and within budget. Perform other duties as assigned by the manager. Job Profile Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, chemical, or nuclear engineering from an ABET EAC-accredited program. ETAC-accredited programs are not considered. CAD and P&ID experience are required. Experience with facility design, construction, and operation is required. Typically, ten years of experience in an engineering role, including machine, process, or facility design and assembly. A master's degree or Ph.D. may substitute for some experience. Knowledge of mechanical and/or chemical engineering concepts, including design, manufacture, installation, and operation of equipment and systems meeting manufacturing process and safety standards. Knowledge of manufacturing facility design, including lean manufacturing approaches. Extensive knowledge of applicable codes and standards pertinent to mechanical and/or process designs. Proficiency with 2D/3D engineering and manufacturing tools, e.g., ProE, AutoCAD, Revit, Carrier HAP, Trace TRACE, or similar. Compensation
Expected salary range: $115,830 - $160,875, based on experience and qualifications. Salary may vary by location and does not include benefits or incentives. Position Job Classification
