Job Description Summary The Lead Engineer - Reactor System Modeling works within the Simulation Assisted Engineering (SAE) team by enabling LEAN integrated plant design (IPD) using modern digital engineering tools and techniques. The main responsibility of this position is the ownership of reactor thermal‑hydraulic and neutronics models which are connected to complete balance‑of‑plant models. The main tool used for this work is the TRACG system code.Essential Responsibilities Maintain simulator models, including modifying the Safety Analysis TRACG base deck (and related files) to connect with the SAE Integrated Plant Design Environment (IPDE).Perform standalone TRACG analyses and custom methods testing for lean design work.Conduct sensitivity studies with TRACG in the SAE Integrated Plant Design Environment.Simplify and optimize models for use in Full Scope Simulator training, focusing on real‑time execution, repeatability, and accuracy.Own, develop, configure, test, and maintain base deck and Graphical Engineering Station (GES) model interfaces (including models and methods code base) between TRACG and all other executable code under the main IPDE executive.Assist in maintaining a singular master plant simulation model in the SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated and baselined as necessary.Develop and edit system models in an integrated simulation environment.Develop and run scenarios for single systems, collections of interrelated systems, or entire power plants for startup, shutdown, and maneuvering throughout all modes of plant operations.Required Qualifications Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or equivalent 4‑year technical degree.Minimum 6 years of experience in an engineering role.Minimum 4 years of experience with thermal‑hydraulic system codes (preferably TRACG or RELAP).Eligibility Requirements Relocation to Wilmington, NC is required. This role requires access to U.S. export‑controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on the ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export‑controlled information from the U.S. Government.Desired Qualifications Master of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics.Experience creating and modifying input models (“base decks”) in thermal‑hydraulic system codes (e.g., nuclear power plant models, test facility models, etc.).Knowledge of common computer languages (C#, C++, etc.) and software development tools (Version control, IDEs, Debuggers, etc.).Experience in software development.Design and analysis simulation experience (e.g., 3KeyMaster/WSC).Experience developing high‑fidelity engineering simulators or FSS integrated with a DCS platform either via virtual controller or emulation.Benefits Relocation assistance provided: Yes.Competitive compensation range: $85,600.00 – $164,000.00, with geographic differential of 110%‑130% in certain areas.Discretionary annual bonus eligibility.Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.Health Coach and 24/7 nurse‑based resource.Employee Assistance Program with 24/7 confidential counseling and referral services.GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan (tax‑advantaged 401(k) with company matching and contributions).Access to Fidelity resources and financial planning consultants.Tuition assistance, adoption assistance, paid parental leave, disability benefits, life insurance, 12 paid holidays, and permissive time off.Equal Opportunity Statement GE Vernova is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
