Mechanical Systems Design Engineer

Fully Remote, Long-term Contract.

System One is seeking to contract with a Mechanical System Design Engineer who will be focused on the design of fluids handling and process systems. The successful candidate will integrate and coordinate with engineers working on interfacing systems. The Mechanical System Design Engineer will work as part of a high-performing team of engineers and scientists whose goal is to advance our client’s technology to its end state as a commercial nuclear power reactor.

Responsibilities:
 

• Design of nuclear and industrial process systems and sub-systems, including the specification of requirements through detailed design.
• Participate in the creation of design documents for applicable systems, including but not limited to System Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, Specifications, Datasheets, P&IDs, 3D models, and system Interface Control Drawings (ICDs).
• Develop design packages for systems, sub-systems, and equipment designs including coordination and review of calculations, design reports, mechanical drawings, and engineering design specifications.
• Interface with other disciplines (such as thermal hydraulics, instrumentation and controls, and structural) to identify and develop the system requirements and design
• Consider the effects of operating and environmental conditions, such as thermal, seismic, structural, pipe stress, and heat transfer, when designing the system of interest
• Analyze and allocate regulatory criteria and standards, such as those from the Department of Energy (DOE) or Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), to mechanical and process system design.
• Identify and implement the required design codes into the design of systems such as ASME, ANS, ASTM, IEEE, NFPA, etc.
• Interface with and support licensing activities associated with Safety Analysis Reports.
• Participate in supplier technical reviews and review of supplier deliverables.
• Verify that system design requirements have been met by participating in design reviews, tests, inspections, audits, and surveys.

• B.S. in Mechanical or related discipline from an accredited university and 3 years direct experience with proven mechanical systems skills.
• Demonstrated experience in the design of industrial mechanical systems, structures, and equipment.
• Experience in high temperature and multi-discipline integration (highly desired).
• Previous experience with nuclear reactors, nuclear handling process systems, or similar high-performance system or equipment design (highly desired). 
• Excellent technical writing, communication, and presentation skills.
• Attention to detail and aspiration for technical excellence.
• Candidate must be a self-starter and possess ability to work independently with minimal direction.
• Ability to handle projects that include many competing objectives and constraints, with ability to resolve conflicts between objectives.
• Ability to work on simultaneous tasks that require a multi-disciplinary approach.
• Experience working to quality standards on design activities, such as ASME NQA-1 or ISO 9001 (highly desired).
• The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect and a desire to foster teamwork.
• Actual position starting level and title will be determined based on assessment of qualifications.
