- Utilizes engineering input from across the NuScale organization in the development of reactor servicing tools, inspection equipment, and control systems.
- Problem solving: Identifies and resolves problems in a timely manner, gathers and reviews information appropriately. Uses own judgment and acts independently; seeks input from other team members as appropriate for complex or sensitive situations.
- Work collaboratively with the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) Component design organization to ensure adequate features are provided to interface with NuScale’s reactor servicing tools to ensure that functional and performance requirements are met.
- Assists other teams by utilizing sound technical approaches and engineering standards to solve problems in technical areas of expertise.
- Planning/organizing: Assists in the prioritization and planning of work activities, organizes personal and project timelines and deadlines, tracks project timelines and deadlines, and uses time efficiently.
- Prepares, checks, and reviews engineering reports, system descriptions and specifications, drawings, calculations, and other design documents with particular emphasis on reactor servicing tooling and inspection systems, machine and component design. Works on complex tasks in multiple and diverse areas.
- Planning, preparing, and checking mechanical design documents for mechanical equipment and systems.
- Supports procurement of activities related to equipment design, fabrication and testing activities.
- Works collaboratively with the Civil/Structural team to ensure interfaces between tooling systems and the buildings on site meet the applicable functional and performance requirements.
- Helps to develop and maintain engineering standards and criteria.
- Works closely with Systems Engineering and the Operations group to develop work sequences and handling plans as part of an integrated tool design scheme.
- The employee frequently is required to sit and stand, walk, bend, use hands to operate office equipment, and reach with hands and arms.
- Implementing engineering design processes to design mechanical handling equipment and systems. Prior experience operating in a nuclear operating environment is a plus.
- Assists in the planning and organization of complex engineering work. Performs innovative and complex engineering assignments on a team dedicated to the development of an engineered product; interprets scope and requirements of projects; develops alternative methods to achieve project goals.
- Helps to develop resolutions to complex problems that require the frequent use of creativity and innovation.
