If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision join us as a Nuclear Engineer. This is what you need to know:

Location: Knoxville TN

Salary: Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract: Permanent full time

Reporting to: Director of Nuclear and Fuel Cycle

Your role in the mission:

Type One Energy is seeking a highly motivated Neutronics Engineer with education in radiation transport analysis to support the design construction and licensing of Type One Energy high-field stellarator systems. Ideally the candidate will have knowledge in radiation transport codes and their uses for solving nuclear challenges related to performance and safety.

As a Neutronics Engineer you will play a vital role in the development of our nuclear analysis program in support of both our near-term Infinity One Project and longer-term Fusion Pilot Plant.

• Assist in the development of computational solutions for a range of nuclear challenges related to both D-D and D-T fusion devices including radiation particle transport radiation damage nuclear heating nuclear activation and decay heat analysis shielding design dose calculations.

• Perform analyses on neutronics modelling radiological engineering nuclear design and operational health physics.

• Utilize advanced radiation transport tools to evaluate and characterize the impact of multivariate design choices (including materials geometry and operational conditions) on performance metrics.

• Support in-depth research and analysis on a variety of nuclear design strategies for fusion systems as it relates to system performance safety and radiological waste.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate neutronics and radiological considerations into product development.

• Provide transparent and realistic feedback on timelines resource requirements and issues to enable the timeline completion of assigned duties

What youll need:

• Educational background in Nuclear Engineering Physics or a related field.

• Fundamental understanding of first principles for nuclear and radiation physics radiation transport and the impact of radiation on a variety of systems.

• Knowledge of radiation transport tools methodology and application including direct experience with Monte Carlo methods for neutron/photon transport.

• Direct experience with OpenMC or MCNP. Experience with additional nuclear software (such as SCALE ORIGIN GEANT4 FISPACT ALARA PyNE) and CAD integration tools such as Cubit is preferred but not required.

• Strong computational skills including experience programming with Python in a Linux environment

• Experience with collaborative code development using GitHub.

• General knowledge of various nuclear codes and standards as well as best practices.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues and propose innovative solutions.

We offer:

In addition to a basic salary and yearly bonus you will also get

• Stock and share options

• Relocation allowance

• Insurance plans

• 401k retirement options

• And many more great voluntary benefits
