Neutronics Engineer

Join us in our mission to commercialize fusion energy

Were all about solving climate change through fusion energy one stellarator at a time. Our impressive team of globally recognized fusion scientists along with veteran business leaders with experienced in scaling energy technologies came together with the ambition to fulfill the bold decadal vision of commercial fusion.

If changing the world wasnt incentive enough heres why you should join us:

We designed built and operated the worlds leading stellarators.

We aim to commercialize fusion energy in 10 years.

We know what were doing our leadership team has over 150 years of experience combined.

Weve already been recognized for our work by the Department of Energy through awards and funding.

Our philosophy accepts no intellectual boundaries and celebrates creativity.

If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision join us as a Neutronics Engineer. This is what you need to know:

Location: Knoxville TN

Salary:Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract: Permanent full time

Reporting to: Senior Materials Scientist

Your role in the mission:

Type One Energy is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Neutronics Engineer with experience in radiation transport analysis to support the design construction and licensing of Type One Energy highfield stellarator systems. Ideally the candidate will have experience with a suite of radiation transport codes and their uses for solving nuclear challenges related to performance and safety.

As a Neutronics Engineer you will play a vital role in the development of our nuclear analysis program in support of both our nearterm Infinity One Project and longerterm Fusion Pilot Plant.

• Develop computational solutions for a range of nuclear challenges related to both DD and DT fusion devices including radiation particle transport radiation damage nuclear heating nuclear activation and decay heat analysis shielding design dose calculations.
• Perform analyses on neutronics modelling radiological engineering nuclear design and operational health physics.
• Utilize advanced radiation transport tools to evaluate and characterize the impact of multivariate design choices (including materials geometry and operational conditions) on multivariate performance metrics.
• Conduct indepth research and analysis on a variety of nuclear design strategies for fusion systems as it relates to system performance safety and radiological waste.
• Collaborate with crossfunctional teams to integrate neutronics and radiological considerations into product development.
• Prepare technical reports presentations and publications to disseminate research findings and contribute to the scientific community.
• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of Scientists Engineers and Technicians to foster a collaborative environment.
• Collaborate with external partners including academic institutions and research organizations to explore potential collaborations and stay at the forefront of fusion technologies.
• Be accountable for the quality and accuracy of work.
• Provide transparent and realistic feedback on timelines resource requirements and issues to enable the timeline completion of assigned duties.
  
• 
  

What youll need:

• Strong educational background in Nuclear Engineering Physics or a related field.
• Fundamental understanding of first principles for nuclear and radiation physics radiation transport and the impact of radiation on a variety of systems.
• Indepth knowledge of radiation transport tools methodology and application including direct experience with Monte Carlo methods for neutron/photon transport.
• Experience with common nuclear engineering software specifically MCNP OpenMC and FISPACT. Experience with additional nuclear software (such as SCALE ORIGIN GEANT4 ALARA PyNE) and CAD integration tools such as Cubit is preferred but not required.
• Experience programming with Python in a Linux environment.
• Experience with collaborative code development using GitHub.
• General knowledge of various nuclear codes and standards as well as best practices.
• Excellent analytical and problemsolving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues and propose innovative solutions.
• Attention to detail in both programming and data analysis.

We offer:

In addition to a basic salary and yearly bonus you will also get

• Stock and share options
• Relocation allowance
• Insurance plans
• 401k retirement options
• And many more great voluntary benefits
