If a potentially good or excellent match, we will contact you within 3 weeks from applying.

We are looking for a talented, energetic, and creative neutronics modeler with a proven track record in delivering projects involving neutronics and reactor physics calculations. As a member of the nuclear systems engineering, you will focus on conducting simulations for neutron irradiation experiments, as well as for the design, analysis, and optimization of key components for stellarator experiment and power plant. You will work closely with a nuclear safety engineers and reactor systems engineers to ensure the key components meet the target performance, safety, and manufacturability.

Responsibilities

• Model and assess the nuclear performance and neutron distribution of stellarator experiments and power plant systems.

• Model, evaluate, design and optimize the nuclear and radiological impacts on key components, such as vacuum vessel and other internal components, blanket and shielding designs, magnet and diagnostics lifetimes, fuel cycle performance, and balance of plant systems

• Develop methodologies and models (CAD to neutronic model conversion) for a range of technical challenges to support all stellarator engineering projects related to the nuclear engineering technical areas, including radiation transport, activation analysis, shielding design, material irradiation, nuclear heating, and dose calculations. 

• Comply with RF design control processes, including but not limited to: Documenting analyses in written files; Arranging for check and review of analysis files; Upholding high standards of good-faith collaboration and teamwork.

• Prepare scientific reports (presentations, posters, etc.) and represent RF to scientific conferences and workshops

• Remain on the lookout for any scientific developments

Qualifications -essential:

• PhD or Master’s + equivalent experience in Nuclear Engineering/Science/Physics

• Previous experience with diverse applications related to radiation transport (performing calculations that include shielding analyses, dosimetry, nuclear heating, etc.)

• Knowledge of both deterministic and Monte Carlo methods of neutron/photon transport  

• Fundamental understanding of the first principles of transport methods and nuclear data

• Practice of common nuclear engineering software, such as OpenMC, TRIPOLI, MCNP, FISPACT, DARWIN/MENDEL, ORIGEN, etc.  

• In-depth knowledge of radiation shielding and neutronics  

• Knowledge and experience with scientific programming and scripting 

• Fluent in English (C1)

Qualifications -desirable:

• Practice of programming skills (Python, C++, Linux) and modern coding practices continuous integration, version control (git)

• Proficient use of High-Performance Computer (HPC) systems

• Knowledge of CAD modelling software and conversion to neutronics models

• Knowledge of various nuclear codes and standards

• Knowledge and/or experience with magnetic confinement fusion, and nuclear fusion technologies
