Nuclear Shipyard Integration Engineer

The ocean is the largest undeveloped frontier on earth and the next chapter of abundant energy will be written at sea. Were building the infrastructure to power it.

Ocean Atomics is an American company designing licensing and assembling a standardized nuclear electric power plant and the surrounding support systems for maritime applications. We will install these plants on any vessel built to our nuclear-ready standards and will provide end-to-end sustainment in our planned nuclear lifecycle dockyard. We will help develop the licensed operators to unlock this new capability for your energy intensive application at sea. To move fast and to lead the creation of this new market we are leveraging the compact proven systems enabled by water-cooled reactors.

Scale nuclear energy. Power generations.

A maritime commons thriving with abundant economical modern and safe nuclear-powered activity built serviced and staffed by re-industrialized American shipyards and people.

The Nuclear Shipyard Integration Engineer will define the physical and functional interfaces between the reactor plant and its host platform ensure the design can be built installed and refueled within shipyard constraints and develop the fuel handling arrangement and equipment interfaces across construction operation and refueling.

• Define document and own the physical and functional interfaces between the reactor plant and the ship and shipyard

• Develop and maintain interface control documents and drive their resolution across disciplines

• Design the fuel handling arrangement and equipment interfaces access transfer paths active cooling lift points and refueling/defueling sequences

• Support modularization installation sequencing alignment and foundation design to ensure the plant can be built and installed

• Ensure interfaces accommodate shock vibration thermal growth and the marine environment across operating and casualty conditions

• Rigorously document integration results and justify methodology in support of the licensing or certification process

• Coordinate with reactor systems and structural teams to confirm constructability and maintainability

• Provide integration inputs to build test and commissioning teams

Required

• Experience defining and managing interfaces between a major system and its host structure or platform

• Strong understanding of mechanical integration foundations alignment hull/bulkhead penetrations tolerance stack-up thermal growth and shock/vibration in a marine environment

• Working knowledge of fuel handling operations and equipment including access transfer routes and refueling/defueling sequences

• Familiarity with shipyard construction methods including modular build installation sequencing and heavy lift/rigging

• Ability to own interface control documentation and coordinate across reactor naval architecture and shipyard trades

• Ability to work on a close rapidly iterative design team

• Strong technical writing skills

Preferred

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering or Nuclear Engineering

• 5 years in interface installation or integration engineering ideally naval/marine or large-scale nuclear construction

• Experience with naval nuclear propulsion transportable or floating reactor programs

• Familiarity with spent fuel handling cask/transfer interfaces and refueling outage logistics

• Working knowledge of CAD/PLM and dimensional management tools
