Company Description Hadron Energy specializes in Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) development, design, and research based in the San Francisco Bay Area. As the leading MMR developer, Hadron Energy is building factory‑produced, transportable microreactors that provide 24/7 carbon‑free power for data centers, government facilities, industrial sites, and remote communities. Our mission is to create a brighter, healthier, and more equitable energy future.
This is a full‑time on‑site role for a
Component Design & Structural Analysis Engineer , based in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, or remote. This position is ideal for candidates with strong mechanical design, structural modeling, and analysis experience who are passionate about developing advanced, safety‑critical components for next‑generation nuclear systems.
The Component Design & Structural Analysis Engineer will be responsible for the detailed mechanical design and structural evaluation of reactor components, subsystems, and support structures within Hadron Energy’s micro modular reactor (MMR). This individual will work closely with reactor design, materials, thermal‑hydraulics, manufacturing, and licensing teams to ensure components meet stringent functional, safety, and regulatory requirements. You will play a central role in transforming conceptual designs into manufacturable, high‑performance components by using advanced simulation tools, design methodologies, and structural engineering thinking to advance Hadron’s reactor design toward commercial deployment.
Responsibilities
Lead the
mechanical design, modeling, and drafting
of reactor components, assemblies, and supporting structures
Perform
structural, thermal‑mechanical, and vibration analyses
using finite element analysis (FEA) tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or equivalent)
Evaluate component performance under normal operation, transient conditions, accident scenarios, seismic events, and extreme loading conditions
Develop and maintain engineering drawings, design specifications, and technical documentation in accordance with
ASME Section III
and related codes
Collaborate with thermal‑hydraulics, materials, and safety engineers to incorporate multi‑disciplinary requirements into component design
Support component
verification and validation testing , including prototyping, mechanical tests, and qualification activities
Conduct design optimization studies focused on manufacturability, reliability, and cost‑effectiveness
Coordinate with manufacturing, procurement, and quality teams to ensure components meet fabrication, inspection, and regulatory requirements
Prepare technical reports, analysis summaries, and documentation for internal design reviews and NRC licensing submittals
Participate in hazard analyses, design reviews, and risk mitigation activities
Stay current on best practices in structural analysis, advanced materials, and nuclear system design
Qualifications & Skillsets
