TL;DR
Staff CFD Analysis Engineer (Nuclear): Developing high-fidelity CFD and thermal-hydraulic simulations for advanced reactor internals and balance-of-plant systems with an accent on Ansys Fluent modeling, conjugate heat transfer, and nuclear-quality verification and validation. Focus on solving complex reactor flow and heat-transfer problems, building coupled multiphysics workflows, and producing defensible analysis packages for designers, safety analysts, and regulators.
Location: Torrance, California. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
Salary: $180,000–$220,000 USD annually
Company
develops scalable, high-temperature nuclear power systems, including advanced reactor technology and fuel fabrication for industrial energy, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing.
What you will do
- Plan and perform high-fidelity CFD and conjugate-heat-transfer analyses in Ansys Fluent for reactor thermal-hydraulics.
- Model complex flow and heat-transfer problems including core-inlet and lower-plenum mixing, fuel-assembly thermal-hydraulics, hot-channel behavior, passive decay-heat removal, and containment behavior.
- Establish and document CFD verification and validation practices, including mesh-convergence studies, GCI analysis, and benchmarking against test data.
- Exchange boundary conditions and analysis outputs with thermal-fluid systems, neutronics, and structural FEA teams to build coupled multiphysics workflows.
- Lead technical problem definition, independent analysis reviews, technical reviews, and production of traceable calculation packages.
- Develop CFD standards and templates, support project planning, and mentor junior and mid-level analysts.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related field.
- 8+ years of professional, production-grade CFD analysis experience.
- Strong knowledge of turbulence modeling, including RANS, LES/DES, conjugate heat transfer, multiphase flow, and species transport.
- Experience with ASME V&V 20, GCI studies, validation against test data, and uncertainty quantification.
- Experience working under regulated quality programs such as ASME NQA-1, ISO 9001, or 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, with exposure to NRC or ASME regulatory environments.
- Experience with Python, CFD automation, HPC workflows, systems-code coupling, structural FEA, and reactor thermal-hydraulics.
Nice to have
- Master’s degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Knowledge of natural circulation, passive cooling, and helium, molten-salt, or liquid-metal coolant behavior.
- Experience with HTGR, SFR, MSR, or micro-reactor thermal-hydraulics.
- Experience mentoring and leading technical analysis within an engineering team.
Culture & Benefits
- Equity ownership in a rapidly growing advanced energy company.
- Comprehensive medical benefits and unlimited PTO.
- Free daily lunch and dinner provided onsite.
- Generous PPE stipend.
- High-autonomy startup environment with opportunities for career growth and direct collaboration with experienced engineers, operators, and industry leaders.
