System One Hiring for Strategic Support Team Engineer at Bellevue, Washington Full Time

Client is seeking to contract with, via agency vendor, highly motivated and forward-thinking professionals who are interested in focusing on advanced nuclear reactor research and development and influencing change within the nuclear power landscape and bringing forward the critical production of medical isotopes.

The Strategic Support Team Engineer is a part of a suite of positions allocated to resolving high value emergent technical problems, or developing strategies to address, integrated design of plant systems, structures, and integrated analysis of the facility issues/topics. Specifically for the scope of this team, this includes responsibility to evaluate, create, review, manage, and drive to resolution a series of emergent technical topics (known as “triage” items). A set of indicative triage items are delineated below. Additionally, members of this strategic support team will also be responsible for driving critical technical topics through projects formal decision process. A set of indicative project decision are delineated below as well.

Example triage items:

• Development of Fuel Handling Building safety classification and missile protection strategy

• Review of project virtual design and construction plan, and assessment of functionality of integrated plant design 3D physical model, and development of schedule and interface for an integrated model.

• Develop project wide strategy for application of Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) NEI 18-04 approach for conceptual design of SSCs.

• Development of project wide margin management standard

• Assessment of safety classification and optimal location of reactor protection system components

  Example project decisions:

• Control room and remote shut down panel safety classification, requirements, and location

• Reactor protection system classification and location

• Radwaste system ideal location and RCA boundary

• Reactor seismic trip strategy

  Responsibilities

• Evaluate technical background information on the Natrium Confluence environment, including previous technical evaluations, analyses, reports etc. on a given triage or decision topic

• Consult and interface with Natrium SMEs on the topic, and associated/impacted areas, and obtain their recommendations. This includes assigning and tracking actions as required to obtain the necessary SME input both from Natrium, and inside the team’s own organization.
