The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles and be adept at utilizing various engineering software and tools, particularly those relevant to nuclear facility design and operation. This critical role is essential for the design, development, and implementation of innovative mechanical systems and components within environments that require strict regulatory compliance and security protocols. The successful candidate must hold a

OPG or Bruce Power Security Clearance

and will work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, high-reliability engineering solutions that meet stringent project specifications and timelines.

Duties

Design and develop mechanical systems and components using CAD software such as

SolidWorks

and

Creo

. Apply

nuclear engineering principles

to the design and analysis of systems, focusing on radiation shielding, thermal hydraulics, and material compatibility for nuclear environments. Create detailed schematics and drafting documents to support manufacturing processes, ensuring adherence to

nuclear safety standards

. Utilize programmable logic controllers (PLC) for system automation and control, particularly within critical safety systems. Conduct system design analysis, ensuring compliance with industry standards, regulations (e.g., NRC, DOE), and

security requirements

. Collaborate with manufacturing teams to troubleshoot issues and optimize production processes for high-reliability components. Employ

MATLAB

for data analysis, modeling, and simulation of complex mechanical and

nuclear systems

. Implement

LabVIEW

for automated testing and measurement applications in controlled environments. Work with CNC machinery to produce precision components as per specifications. Maintain thorough, classified documentation of design processes, changes, and project updates in accordance with

security clearance protocols

.
Experience and Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related field is required; a Master's degree is preferred.

Must possess or be eligible to obtain and maintain a government-issued Security Clearance.

A minimum of 3 years of professional experience in Nuclear Engineering is required, with demonstrated knowledge in areas such as reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics, nuclear materials, or radiation protection.

Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Creo) is essential. Experience with programmable logic controllers (PLC) is highly desirable, especially in safety-critical applications. Strong mechanical knowledge with hands-on experience in high-reliability manufacturing or nuclear facility environments. Familiarity with drafting practices, schematics, and system design principles as applied to nuclear installations. Knowledge of MATLAB for engineering analysis and simulation of nuclear systems is preferred. Experience with LabVIEW for testing applications is a plus. Previous experience working with CNC machinery is advantageous.
Join our team to contribute your expertise in mechanical and nuclear engineering while collaborating on exciting projects that push the boundaries of innovation and national security. We look forward to welcoming a passionate engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-security, and high-stakes environment.
