- Perform various analyses including stress, fatigue, buckling, seismic, and vibration of piping systems, pressure vessels, heat exchangers and structural supports using classical tools like Mathcad and finite element analysis (FEA) software like ANSYS.
- Conduct stress, fatigue, fracture mechanics, creep, and buckling analyses in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section VIII or III and other applicable codes and standards.
- Perform thermal-hydraulic and coupled multiphysics simulations to evaluate component behavior under normal operating, transient, and accident conditions.
- Support reactor design efforts by providing analytical justification for material selection, geometry optimization, and design modifications.
- Prepare detailed analysis reports, calculation packages, and technical documentation suitable for internal design reviews and regulatory submittals.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including nuclear engineers, structural engineers, CAD designers, and licensing specialists to integrate FEA results into overall design packages.
- Develop and maintain analysis procedures, quality assurance documentation, and verification/validation (V&V) protocols for FEA software tools and methodologies.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the development of the team’s FEA capabilities and best practices.
