Are you analytic and have an eye for details with experience in nuclear design? Are you interested in working with advanced technology, together with a creative team? Do you also want to contribute to a better climate and a future filled with clean energy?
Welcome to the PWR & VVER Core Design team. We have the core design responsibility for PWR and VVER reactors. Our work provides a critical contribution to the operations and business of nuclear power plants around the world.
Our team of 15 nuclear design engineers within the EMEA Fuel Engineering department brings a broad range of expertise-from our main focus on core design for PWR and VVER reactors to project coordination, criticality calculations, and software validation.
Your contribution to a carbon-free future
As a Senior Nuclear Design Engineer, your main responsibility is to lead and support the development of nuclear fuel designs for manufacturing, and to simulate the performance of reactor cores operating with our fuels. This is done to ensure that all safety margins are met while fully utilizing the fuel's capacity. Among other things, this means that you will:
Lead and contribute to the optimization of fuel utilization and assurance that the safety and regulatory requirements are fulfilled.
Collaborate with engineers in criticality analyses, thermal hydraulics, fuel rod design, mechanical design and safety analyses.
Participate in methods and software development.
Document analyses in reports.
Mentor junior engineers and coordinate design activities with diverse teams.
Validation and quality assurance of the core simulator codes and tools that we use and develop internally.
Take lead in customer interactions and project planning
Examples of customer projects that you can be involved in as a nuclear design engineer are cycle-specific safety analyses, development of the nuclear design for manufacturing, review of core loading plans and patterns developed by the customer, licensing of fuel and business quotes.
You will be positioned in Västerås, Sweden, with a hybrid work schedule.
We are looking for you
To be a good match for this role, we believe that you have a good sense of accuracy, accountability and safety. You are good at communication and enjoy working in a dedicated and transparent team. You have experience working in a role where safety is of high importance. You have been working in different types of projects and works smoothly with customers and colleagues.
