Looking for a lifetime career Apply today! Job Description
The Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) is seeking a highly-motivated, self-driven thermal/hydraulics engineer for future core design development. The unit is focused on: (1) defining the design space and technology required for a next generation attack submarine targeting high-level notional goals; and (2) evaluating performance capability versus core cost trade-offs. This project is currently in the pre-conceptual design phase, and the work may be performed with simple, first-principles-based scoping tools up through detailed analyses utilizing the latest design codes. This phase will be followed by a formal core design effort requiring model development and analysis. This unit requires frequent and effective communication with other core design, materials performance, core manufacturing, testing and reactor plant development groups in support of this project. This position provides opportunities to influence technology development for performance gains and cost reductions. Interested applicants must be comfortable working in a cross-site unit and be willing to mentor others. This is a unique opportunity to become a part of the team designing the next-generation submarine platform for the U.S. nuclear navy. Required Combination of Knowledge and Skill
Bachelors degree from an accredited college or university in engineering or science related field; or Master's degree from an accredited college or university in engineering or science related field. Preferred Skills
