Mechanical Analyst

Position is located at the Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, SC.

The Mechanical Analyst will perform advanced engineering evaluations employing stress analysis, solid and fluid mechanics principles, and heat transfer phenomena to validate the design adequacy of various equipment for normal operation and various accident event conditions. Applications involve both hand computations and computer software including finite element analyses for linear and non-linear components, pipe stress, fluid flow, and pressure vessel design. SRS component design requires the capability to evaluate component structural responses due to thermal hydraulic pressure transients, vibration, other live loads, wind loads, and seismic events. Design evaluation tasks also include the ability to determine pressure relief valve size requirements for fluid systems, and to determine pump size requirements for piping networks.

Engineering services will be provided using Savannah River Remediation (SRR) processes and procedures. Programmatic guidance will be provided by SRR.

Required Qualifications:
MS or PhD Degree in either Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Mechanics, or a BS Mechanical Engineering and current registration as a Professional Engineer. (In lieu of a current Professional Engineering registration, 20 years of experience with applicable duties in conjunction with demonstrated proficiency using software tools indicated below may be substituted.)

Candidate must demonstrate a minimum of eight (8) year’s experience in the design and analysis of nuclear or industrial facilities.

Candidate must demonstrate a working knowledge of AUTOPIPE, ANSYS, ABAQUS, PVElite, COMPRESS, or similar computer codes.

Candidate must demonstrate a working knowledge of National Codes and Standards such as ASME VIII, API-579, ASME B31, NFPA-13, SMACNA, ASME AG-1, IBC, and AISC.

Candidate must have the ability to perform field walk-downs of mechanical systems.
