Structural Engineer I (DH)

• Execute and document analyses for a variety of structures, systems and components (SSCs)
• Review available concept designs based on an ambiguous set of requirements, then develop them into mature designs by critical thinking, literature research, interacting with members from other disciplines and vendors, and any analyses as permitted by project milestones
• Support the preparation of design deliverables, presentations, and communicate design progress in stakeholder meetings
• Support development of engineering and licensing requirements and documentation for nuclear SSCs

• Static and dynamic finite element analyses (FEA) using ANSYS
• Drop and impact (e.g., missile and aircraft) analyses and target response using LS-DYNA
• Simulation of the seismic response of freestanding structures in air or submerged in water
• Static and dynamic analyses of large reinforced concrete or steel-concrete composite structures
• Soil-structure interaction (SSI) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analyses
• Beam and plate stress calculations using established principles of strength of materials

Minimum Technical Requirements:

• Masters in Civil or Structural or Mechanical Engineering
• In-depth knowledge of strength of materials and structural mechanics
• Experience using commercial software such as ANSYS, LS-DYNA, Abaqus, ETABS, SAP2000, Plaxis 3D, and STAAD.Pro
• Familiarity with industry standards and design codes such as ASME, ACI, ASCE and AISC
• Excellent technical writing, interpersonal and effective communication skills

Desirable Additional Qualifications:

• Doctorate degree in Civil, Structural or Mechanical Engineering
• Experience in conducting seismic and impact-based dynamic analyses
• Knowledge of geotechnical and geophysical engineering
• Experience in modular design development of SSCs
• Experience working with designers and manufacturers to develop models and drawings; knowledge of software such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Tekla and Revit
• Prior nuclear industry experience including interactions with NRC or other regulatory authorities
