Lead Engineer - Nuclear Simulation Assisted Engineering (Remote Eligible, U.S.)

Job Description Summary

Lead Engineer - Simulation Assisted Engineering (SAE) works within the Plant Integration Engineering team by enabling LEAN integrated plant design (IPD) using modern digital engineering tools and techniques. SAE is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, systems engineering approach to complex IPD, analysis, and optimization. SAE is based on the use of a modern, physics and mathematics, digital engineering modeling and simulation software toolkit. Focus is on technical risk, engineering labor, and schedule duration reduction during first of a kind (FOAK) plant design.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities:

• Collaborate in cross-functional environment of; Systems, Instrumentation & Controls, and Human Factors Engineering to ensure successful deployment, implementation, and lifecycle stewardship of the multi-organization and multi-geographic SAE environment.

• Assist in maintaining a singular master plant simulation model in SAE environment while ensuring requirements and configuration management are updated and baselined as necessary.

• Sets up and administers the simulation configuration management system and procedures for the SAE project.

• Maintains Discrepancy Report tracking database via Gitlab Issues and Issue Boards.

• Owns and administers all Gitlab user and project groups for both SAE and non-SAE departments.

• Provides GitLab User Technical Support to SAE and Non-SAE Users. (Resolving Push/Merge Conflicts, Assisting with Error Message Resolution, etc.)

• Places acquired product releases under SAE Configuration Management control and deploys these within the SAE environment, ultimately deploying to downstream customers.

• Develop and edit system models in an integrated simulation environment.

• Develop and run scenarios for single systems, collections of interrelated systems, or entire power plant for: startup, shutdown, and maneuvering throughout all modes of plant operations.

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Software, Computer Science or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or equivalent 4 year technical degree.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in an engineering, design process, or similar capacity.

• Minimum of 3 years of experience with configuration management systems (e.g., Gitlab) required

• The preferred work location for this role is at the GVH Headquarters in Wilmington, NC; but highly qualified (US based) remote candidates will be considered.

• This role is restricted to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to U.S. export-controlled technology. GVH will require proof of U.S. person status prior to employment.

• Master of Science in Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Systems, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science.

• Experience with GitLab CI/CD, including development of Pipelines and Automated Testing.

• Experience with GitLab in the Multi - Repository configuration, maintaining multiple customer configurations, including development of SAE project KPI's for each repository

• Experience installing and configuring VM instances across environment using platforms like VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM

• Experience provisioning resources for new virtual servers, managing templates, cloning, and automation of VM deployments.

• Experience using modern digital engineering collaboration and design tools such as: Design and analysis simulation [e.g.; Easy5/MSC, Simulink MATLAB/MathWorks, Mathcad/PTC AND/OR 3KeyMaster / WSC, JADE / GSE, Orchid / L-3MAPPS-Harris

• Experience developing high fidelity engineering simulator or FSS integrated with a DCS platform either via virtual controller or emulation.
