Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment Mechanical Engineer to work in our Reactor Project Engineering department. Our team works a 4x10 schedule located out of our Materials and Fuels Complex with every Friday off. You will provide applied mechanical engineering for the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment projects at Idaho National Laboratory. Apply engineering principles to the solution of mechanical problems as they relate to a facility that will be used to operate reactor experiments. Mechanical problems are those that are related to the motion and dynamics of heat, gas, air, fluids, and solid materials required to design nuclear reactors and systems that function in a safe and reliable, efficient, and predictable manner. Must help design systems observing relevant national agreement codes and standards. *Responsibilities Include:* * Work with a diverse team of engineers on the design, installation, and testing of the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment. * Decompose project goals into defined and controlled design requirements using a systems engineering approach and applying digital engineering tools for tracking requirements and design parameters. * Use design methodologies, technologies, and processes which are best practice for the technical discipline to develop a design, and to validate that the design meets defined requirements. * Develop physics-based mathematical models of mechanical, chemical, and electrical systems to support and verify design. * Maintain familiarity with and technical understanding of codes and standards applicable to the discipline. * Document the design (controlled and approved models, drawings, specifications, design descriptions) to establish conformance with design requirements and applicable codes and standards. * Establish testing, inspection, and quality requirements to ensure technical features important to design responsibilities are maintained. * Oversee or otherwise ensure that fabrication, construction, assembly, and procurement are done following the design. * Develop the assigned systems/equipment. Perform calculations related to the specifications of project, including analysis and evaluation of location, material resources, and mechanical design. * Provide solutions to technical problems and recommendations for improvements in production activities. This may include planning, design, and constructing manufacturing facilities and similar structures or production processes. * Apply engineering principles to monitor and evaluate condition and operational performance of plant systems related to mechanical engineering; recommend repair standards and procedures, identify vendor data, replacement, and spare parts; coordinate resources and priorities necessary to attain or maintain the appropriate system condition. * Ensure any design meets the technical baseline requirements and applicable codes and regulations. Recommend and initiate modifications to support programmatic missions and operational goals and lead preparation of design efforts. * Develop, ensure adequacy of, and maintain configuration management of the technical baseline. Establish and maintain configuration management of assigned system. Maintain cognizance of system/equipment status and performance through review of operating logs and observation of operations. * Ensure consistency in operation characteristics among applicable documents such as drawings, technical manuals, operating instructions, emergency operating procedures. * Enhance technical/professional skills of junior engineering staff through training. * Work with other designers, customers, and analysts to develop experiment requirements, perform conceptual and final designs, follow all fabrication and inspection activities, lead experiment assembly activities, support installation and testing of experiments, and support development of integrated analyses to ensure that facility safety bases are met. * Responsible for design and fabrication and associated activities leading to reactor operations and experimentation. * Lead the development of project specific documentation, such as calculations, analyses, and drawings that meet the engineering process requirements. Check the engineering work performed by others. *Minimum Requirements:* * Level 3: Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or other related fields from an ABET-accredited institution and 5 years, Master's and 2 years, PhD and 2 years * Level 4: Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or other related fields from an ABET-accredited institution and 9 years of experience. Master's and 6 years of experience. PhD and 4 years of experience. * Experience with nuclear systems. * This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Energy "Q" clearance, which requires US Citizenship.*Job Information:* * The pay range for this position is: Level 3 ($91,008 - $186,588 ) / Level 4 ($109,260 - $223,908). At Idaho National Laboratory compensation decisions are determined using factors such as education, relevant experience, and other credentials. * You are required to show a demonstrated commitment to valuing diversity and contributing to an inclusive working environment. * TDP: This is a testing designated position; you will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug screen and periodic drug testing throughout the term of your employment. * Multi-Level: This is a multi-level posting and you will be placed at the appropriate level dependent on depth and breadth of proven experience and skills. *Benefits and Relocation* * Medical, Dental, Vision, and Flexible Spending Accounts * 401(k) with a 4.2% employer contribution and up to 4.8% match * Paid time off (personal leave) * Employee Education Program (tuition assistance) * Comprehensive Relocation Package * Benefit eligibility subject multiple factors, including employment status and position classification. /INL is a science-based, applied engineering national laboratory dedicated to supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's mission in nuclear energy research, science, and national defense.
