Job Description Summary
Risk and Reliability engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user’s needs. The discipline executes a robust process of development risk analyses, and communication of risk insights to support optimization of systems and component design for safety and reliability. This requires identification and quantification of inputs for all modes and all hazards probabilistic risk evaluations, development and communication of insights for selection of alternate system designs, and implementation of final plant designs into rigorous probabilistic risk models in support of licensing activities. This is a process that proceeds from concept to production to operation, including customer support for engineering services in the currently operating fleet.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
Develops and maintains PRA models of nuclear plant design and operational capabilities by logic and sequential modeling of fault scenarios, executing PRA fundamental skills in Data, Human Reliability Analysis, Accident analysis, Severe Accidents, and Source Term assessments, and using PRA tools and methods to quantify and evaluate accident sequences.
Interfaces with other disciplines to advance risk-informed designs, developing insights and conclusions from analyses with the ability to clearly communicate findings to peers, management and customers.
Uses integrated nuclear plant knowledge to assist in developing digital applications such as data processing, condition monitoring, and data analytics to improve customer plant performance and reduce costs.
Uses high level of judgment to make decisions and handle complex tasks or problems in areas of operational, product management, manufacturing, technology or engineering. Has ability to assess quality of information given and ask pertinent questions to stakeholders. Able to offer new solutions to problems outside of set parameters and is able to construct and provide recommendations. Uses multiple internal and some external sources outside of own function to help arrive at a decision.
May lead functional teams or projects with minimal resource requirements, risk, and/or complexity. Communicates difficult concepts and may influence others' options on particular topics. May guide others to consider a different point of view.
Proven experience in executing PRA fundamental skills of Data, Human Reliability Analysis, Accident analysis, Severe Accidents, Source Term assessments and related analytical skills.
Desired Characteristics and Experience
Demonstrated understanding of Importance Analysis, Uncertainty Analysis, and Failure Modes & Effects Analysis, 3+ years of experience in one or more.
Experience with NRC Regulatory Processes, e.g., Reg Guide 1.174, ASME/ANS PRA Standards, 10 CFR 50.65 and 50.69, Mitigating Systems Performance Index (MSPI).
Experience in support and implementation of programs for Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Inspectability (RAMI) to influence plant design.
