Hadron Energy, Inc.
Base Pay Range
$100,000.00/yr - $250,000.00/yr
Additional Compensation Annual Bonus and Stock options
Company Overview Hadron Energy specializes in 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.
Position Summary This is a full‑time on‑site role for a
Nuclear Safety Engineer , based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The position is ideal for candidates with strong technical experience in nuclear safety analysis, probabilistic risk assessment, and regulatory compliance who are passionate about advancing safe, scalable nuclear technology.
The Nuclear Safety Engineer will support the development, evaluation, and verification of safety‑related systems and analyses for Hadron Energy’s micro modular reactor (MMR). This individual will collaborate with reactor design, thermal‑hydraulics, licensing, and systems engineering teams to ensure that the reactor meets or exceeds all applicable safety, regulatory, and performance requirements.
You will play a central role in defining the safety case for Hadron’s innovative reactor design—conducting analyses, preparing documentation, and supporting the NRC licensing process while helping shape the next generation of safe, low‑carbon energy technology.
Responsibilities
Conduct
nuclear safety analyses
across a broad range of anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs), postulated accidents, and design basis events
Develop and maintain safety analysis models using tools such as
RELAP5, TRACE, MELCOR, SCALE , or equivalent codes
Support
probabilistic risk assessment (PRA)
development and updates for reactor systems, identifying dominant risk contributors and mitigation strategies
Perform
deterministic and probabilistic safety evaluations
to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements
Collaborate with systems, thermal‑hydraulics, and reactor design teams to integrate safety requirements into design architecture
Develop safety‑related documentation, including
SAR (Safety Analysis Report) sections , technical evaluations, and safety‑related calculations
Participate in
hazard analyses, failure modes evaluations, and reliability assessments
Provide technical input for
NRC licensing interactions , meetings, and regulatory submittals
Support verification and validation (V&V) activities for safety analysis tools and models
Contribute to internal design reviews, risk assessments, and quality assurance activities in accordance with
NQA-1
Stay current with evolving nuclear safety regulations, guidance, and industry best practices
Qualifications & Skillsets
Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in
Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of experience in
nuclear safety analysis, PRA, or regulatory compliance
in the nuclear industry
Proficiency with safety and risk analysis tools such as
RELAP5, TRACE, MELCOR, SCALE, RADTRAD, SAPHIRE , or similar codes
Strong understanding of
10 CFR Part 50/52 , NRC regulatory guides, and safety analysis methodologies
Experience preparing or reviewing
Safety Analysis Reports (SARs) , licensing submittals, or design certification documentation
Familiarity with
thermal‑hydraulics, reactor systems, accident scenarios, and containment performance
Understanding of
NQA-1 , configuration control, and quality assurance requirements
Excellent analytical, communication, and technical writing skills
Ability to work cross‑functionally within a fast‑paced, innovative engineering environment
Passion for nuclear safety, clean energy innovation, and developing systems that exceed regulatory and industry safety expectations
Seniority Level Mid‑Senior level
Employment Type Full‑time
Job Function Engineering, Research, and Design
Industries Nuclear Electric Power Generation and Energy Technology
