System One is seeking a Mechanical System Design Engineer for a long-term contract opportunity, with a remote work model. 

System One is seeking to a Mechanical System Design Engineer. In this role, you will be focused on the integrated design of the reactor core assemblies and components for a Generation IV Reactor.  The System Design Engineer will work as part of a high functioning team of engineers and scientists focused on developing the design of next generation advanced nuclear reactors.

Responsibilities

• Responsible for working as part of a geographically diverse design team to develop supporting design documentation.  The team members include direct employees, subcontracted resources, partner employees, and customers.
• Interface with the design team to create and manage packages of system design information, including design requirements, performance criteria, design basis documents, 3D models, and system interface drawings
• Interface with and support licensing activities.
• Support planning efforts and schedule adherence for design activities as integration with an overall design delivery schedule.
• Provide technical direction and oversight to supplier projects, working with the contract administrator to ensure delivery of data and other deliverables, as well as coordination and performance of technical reviews of deliverables.
• Design core assembly systems and sub-systems from requirements through final design.
• Support coordination of analyses and testing, such as thermal, seismic, structural, vibratory required for the design validation.
• Identify and ensure effective application of correct design codes such as ASME, ANS, etc.
• Analyze and apply regulatory criteria and standards to complex mechanical system design and provide technical direction and guidance to others in applicable nuclear and non-nuclear related design standards.
• Generate design change package for key systems and sub-systems including coordination of calculations, design reports, mechanical drawings, and engineering design specifications.
• Support continuous learning and application of nuclear industry best practices to maintain the highest quality of engineering design and proactively identify improvement opportunities.
