Own the development and validation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and system-level thermal-hydraulic models to ensure structural stability, performance, and design safety across key reactor components. Contribute directly to the design and optimization of critical thermal components including heat exchangers, piping networks, fluid storage tanks, and other pressure-boundary equipment based on rigorous thermal performance requirements. Collaborate daily with a multidisciplinary team (Mechanical, Nuclear, and Systems Engineers) to integrate thermal-fluid solutions into cohesive, plant-level designs. Perform structural, thermal, and fluid analyses using advanced simulation tools (FEA, CFD) to validate and optimize designs for manufacturability and deployment speed. Operate autonomously , driving projects from concept to analysis and final design verification in a startup culture that values speed, ingenuity, and accountability. Qualifications Proven experience as a Thermal-Fluids Engineer (or similar analytical role) focusing on the development and analysis of thermal systems components within power plant, nuclear, or complex industrial systems. Expert proficiency in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM) and system-level thermal-hydraulic codes. Adept at solving complex thermal and fluid dynamics challenges utilizing advanced techniques and simulation software. Strong foundational knowledge of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics, with a deep understanding of internal turbulent flow phenomena. Ability to perform in-depth multiscale analyses of heat transfer at both the component and system levels. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, with a focus on delivering high-quality, actionable results.
