• Serve as a focal or response point of contact for assigned project activities, coordinating technical inputs and documentation under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Support hardware and system design efforts, including preparation and review of engineering drawings, design calculations, and technical specifications.
• Prepare, review, and maintain licensing and Safety Analysis Report (SAR) documentation to support regulatory compliance.
• Assist in the development of system operations, inspection, maintenance, and support materials.
• Integrate technical performance, fabrication, and quality requirements into assigned component or system designs, and help resolve technical issues with suppliers and subcontractors.
• Support design change activities in accordance with established engineering and quality processes.
• Assist with development and tracking of project work breakdown structures and contribute to integrated resource planning.
• Ensure assigned work complies with company procedures, quality standards, and applicable regulations.
• Provide technical support for proposals and marketing initiatives as needed.
• Learn and grow through mentorship, gaining exposure to technical, regulatory, and project execution practices within the nuclear industry.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, or equivalent engineering-related field required.
• 2-5 years of relevant experience (internships or co-op experience accepted).
• Exposure to cask design, spent fuel transport/storage, or other U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission‑regulated industries is preferred.
• Familiarity with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations, regulatory guides, applicable Nuclear Regulatory Commission Reports (NUREGs), and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Codes is a plus.
• Working knowledge of basic project management concepts, scheduling, spreadsheets, and Microsoft Office tools.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and critical‑thinking skills with attention to detail.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate within a team environment.
