• Create and review documentation for software quality assurance.

• Prepare and validate subchannel analyses, including steady-state and transient margin assessments and CHF predictions.

• Prepare and validate coupled thermal-hydraulic evaluations, including LOCA, non-LOCA transients, and design-basis assessments.

• Collaborate with teams across Nuclear Fuels, core design, fuel design, subchannel thermal-hydraulics, and transient analysis.

• Develop workflows that enhance consistency, automation, or integration across multi-physics safety analyses.

• Contribute to the preparation of licensing technical/topical reports, license applications, and other necessary licensing documentation.

• Engage in licensing interactions with the government regulatory body.

• Prepare and validate engineering reports, calculations, studies, system descriptions, requirement specifications, and other design documentation.

• Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and oversee analysis tasks.

• Solve complex issues through creativity and innovation.
