Structural Engineer

Description

You will play a critical role in translating conceptual designs into engineered, manufacturable structures that meet safety, performance, and regulatory requirements—helping to pioneer scalable clean energy systems built for resilience and global deployment.

The Structural Engineer will lead the structural design, analysis, and verification of Hadron Energy’s micro modular reactor systems, enclosures, and supporting infrastructure. This individual will work closely with mechanical, thermal, and civil engineers to ensure structural integrity under normal, seismic, and extreme loading conditions.

• Support the selection and qualification of structural materials for high-temperature and radiation environments
• Conduct seismic, wind, and load analyses in accordance with applicable building codes and nuclear safety requirements
• Collaborate with mechanical, civil, and manufacturing teams to ensure structures are optimized for assembly, transportability, and modular production
• Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate structural integrity, stresses, fatigue, and thermal effects
• Prepare design documentation and reports for internal reviews and regulatory submissions
• Design and analyze structural systems for reactor modules, enclosures, transport frames, and balance-of-plant components
• Contribute to design reviews, safety evaluations, and multidisciplinary integration meetings
• Coordinate with external vendors, fabricators, and inspectors to verify design intent and quality standards
• Support prototype testing, validation, and design modifications as part of the development cycle
• Develop and review structural drawings, calculations, and material specifications in compliance with ASME, AISC, and NRC standards

Requirements

This is a full-time on-site role for a Structural Engineer, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The position is ideal for candidates with a strong background in structural analysis, design, and materials engineering who are passionate about advancing nuclear innovation through precision engineering and safety-focused design.

• Knowledge of welded structures, pressure boundaries, and high-reliability materials
• 5+ years of experience in structural design and analysis for industrial, energy, or infrastructure projects
• Experience with seismic, vibration, and dynamic load analyses
• Familiarity with nuclear, aerospace, or heavy-industry design requirements is a plus
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering
• Proficiency in FEA and CAD tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, SolidWorks Simulation, or equivalent
• Strong understanding of ASME, AISC, and building codes (IBC, ASCE 7, etc.)
• Strong communication and teamwork skills with cross-functional engineering teams
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and documentation capabilities
