You will be responsible for developing the supply chain for key materials and components for the Natrium reactor core, as well as sourcing materials to support qualification testing of materials, components, and systems. You will also be involved with materials testing for qualification and design.
Responsibilities:
Lead technical development of suppliers to increase technology readiness levels of key materials and components for the core of the Natrium reactor
Develop material and process specifications for vital, specialized materials (e.g., HT9, Grade 92, nickel-base alloys, austenitic stainless steels) and product forms (billet, bar, rod, wire, heavy-walled tube, small diameter tubing).
Work with prospective and current suppliers to material and process specifications, as well as provide input to the design team on component drawings/specifications to ensure product performance meets design requirements and manufacturers’ capabilities
Support supplier selection activities with requests for proposals (RFPs) and team review/selection processes
Provide direction and oversight of supplier projects, working with the contract administrator and the supplier project engineer to ensure delivery of data and other deliverables to meet requirements
Coordinate technical review process of supplier deliverables and ensure appropriate responses
Assist with supplier audits per ASME NQA-1-2015

Demonstrated skills in developing requirements specifications, defining supplier technical work scope to include development of SOWs, RFPs and providing technical direction and oversight of supplier projects.
A general understanding of the design of nuclear reactor and subsequent impacts on materials would be considered a plus
Ability to work with minimum direction to solve challenging problems
Actual position starting level and title will be determined based on assessment of qualifications
The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect, and a desire to foster teamwork
