Entry-level nuclear engineer role supporting design and analysis of portable nuclear microreactors.
О компании
- is an El Segundo, CA-based startup building the world’s first mass-produced, portable nuclear microreactors. The company’s first reactor, Kaleidos, is a 1-megawatt, fail-safe microreactor that can be transported anywhere power is needed and run for up to 5 years without refueling. Portable nuclear power with rapid-deploy capability can replace similar-sized diesel generators and provide critical asset support for hospitals, data centers, remote sites, and military bases. ’s unique, practical approach to nuclear development leverages modern software engineering to rapidly deliver safe, factory-built microreactors that use existing, well-qualified materials. Founded in 2020, is on track to test its first reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory this summer, with initial customer deliveries beginning in 2028.
- is seeking a highly motivated Nuclear Engineer to join the team.
Обязанности
- Assist with nuclear design and analysis tasks, including shielding, neutronics, thermal, and fuel-related studies.
- Support coupled neutronics and thermal calculations to refine system performance models.
- Document methods, results, and findings in clear technical reports and presentations.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and provide technical input as projects evolve.
- Support the development of lower order shielding analysis models to develop rapid shielding design solutions.
- Support the development of uncertainty propagation methodology and its execution on the Kaleidos Demonstration Unit
- Perform criticality safety analysis for the Production Plant of Kaleidos reactors
- Present a final project review at the end of internship to engineers and leadership
Требования
