Analysis Engineer Position Available In New Hanover, North Carolina

Description This position will evaluate the control rod drive systems response to various design and operational changes. The CRD components are typically modeled in ANSYS with time-based inputs to predict the response of the system. Evaluation techniques have been automated using scripting and other techniques. All work complies with the quality plan which includes specific verification practices. Work scope includes the following essential responsibilities:

• Perform linear and non-linear dynamic structural evaluation to predict system responses and resulting loads (and other similar analyses) for reactor systems and internals components. Demonstrated understanding of the dynamic response of structures
• Creation and evaluation of analysis models using ANSYS and

ANSYS APDL

as well as other similar numerical simulation codes.

• Review archive records and evaluate the impact of design/operational changes on the conclusions within those archive records.
• Ability to provide clear and complete analysis documentation in accordance with engineering procedures.
• Communicate effectively to leadership the status of work activities Skills dynamic analysis, ANSYS, stress analysis, ASME code, Structural analysis, Finite element analysis Additional Skills & Qualifications
• Mechanical Engineering degree (or equivalent applicable degree)
• Capable of providing 1st principles approach to define problem and expand into higher order concerns to refine analysis requirements.
• 5+ year experience performing computer simulated load evaluations
• Experience using dynamic simulations to model complex structures.
• Proficient of working between time and frequency domains
• Project based work assignments with time and schedule constraints for work performed.
• Engineer needs to be efficient and effective in assignments to meet scope, quality, schedule and cost bases.
