LOOKING FOR AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY?
ENJOY A NEW EXCITING CAREER IN A GROWING INDUSTRY!
AREVA is seeking a Methods Development Engineer at our Richland, WA facility. This qualified individual will develop computer codes and methods used for the thermal hydraulic design and safety analyses supporting the use of AREVA NP fuel in boiling water reactors (BWRs). Responsibilities:
  • Involve multiple aspects of the software development process including methodology conceptualization and proposal preparation.
  • Project planning and management.
  • Code development, qualification, and documentation.
  • Regulatory and customer interactions to obtain necessary approvals.
  • Assistance in implementing the methodology.
  • Maintenance of current methods.
  • Technical consulting for other code developers and code users (both locally and globally).
  • Mentoring of less experienced engineers.
Company Description
AREVA NP is dedicated to the design and construction of nuclear power plants and research reactors, instrumentation and control, modernization and maintenance services, components manufacture and the supply of nuclear fuel.
FDWT-AR (Thermal Hydraulics, Richland) provides analytical methods and computer codes used in the design and safety analyses required for the safe and economical use of AREVA NP fuel. FDWT-AR is responsible for the methods and computer codes used to perform thermal hydraulic design analyses for the reactor core (pressure drop, flow distribution, and thermal margin) and to perform reactor system analyses of anticipated transients and postulated accidents to demonstrate that safety and licensing requirements are satisfied. FDWT-AR provides technical consulting with respect to advanced fuel design development and solutions for emerging industry problems.
FDWT-AR activities involve many aspects of reactor performance that include a wide range of physical phenomena and reactor performance characteristics. These activities provide opportunities to be involved in many different aspects of reactor analysis including thermal hydraulics, fuel rod modeling, pre- and post-dryout heat transfer, transient neutron kinetics, two-phase flow, reactor protection system characteristics, emergency core cooling systems, pump performance characteristics, and plant control system functions. The activities involve both steady state and transient performance of the reactor core and plant systems.
With manufacturing facilities in 43 countries and a sales network in more than 100, AREVA offers customers reliable technological solutions for CO2-free power generation and electricity transmission and distribution. We are the world leader in nuclear power and the only company to cover all industrial activities in this field.

Our 71,000 employees are committed to continuous improvement on a daily basis, making sustainable development the focal point of the group's industrial strategy.

AREVA's businesses help meet the 21st century's greatest challenges: making energy available to all, protecting the planet, and acting responsibly towards future generations.
AREVA supports a safety conscious work environment and nuclear safety culture by aggressively promoting the identification and correction of safety issues and fostering a conservative decision making environment that drives nuclear safety.

  • Engineer IV: BS in Engineering (Nuclear, Mechanical or Chemical or other scientific degree with relevant industry experience) plus 5 - 7 years of related experience.
  • An advanced engineering degree may be substituted for related work experience (MS 1-2 yrs, or PhD 1-3 yrs).
  • Related experience must include development and application of reactor core and system analysis codes (such as RELAP, TRAC, TRACE, RETRAN).
The following requirements are desired and will be used to differentiate all candidates who apply for this position.
  • Past experience related to Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) analysis is highly preferable
  • Experience developing or using computer codes for Loss of Coolant Accidents (LOCA)
  • Experience defending modified or new methods with the NRC/ACRS
  • Proficiency with FORTRAN, C, C , and UNIX
  • Project management experience
  • Multi-lingual (English, French, German, Chinese, or Japanese)
  • Strong theoretical foundation in coupled neutron kinetic and thermal hydraulic systems
Travel
Some travel to Germany and Japan to support project definition and technical review meetings. Expected travel frequency is no more than once per three months with a duration of less than one week.
We offer competitive salaries, an excellent benefits package, and flexible work options, as well as a uniquely diverse and unified team of professionals. Our culture supports an environment where employees can continuously learn and gain professional growth through education, exciting projects and career mobility.
