Your mission
Are you motivated to apply your expertise and know-how to the ongoing design studies for the Thorizon One reactor? Are you passionate about designing cutting-edge thermal-hydraulics systems and solving complex engineering challenges? Do you get energized by innovation, and transforming ideas into tangible solutions?
You will be a major contributor of the thermal-hydraulics expertise center, whose primary missions are, on the one hand, to provide comprehensive support and expertise in this area to the system design teams in charge of the reactor design and safety studies and, on the other hand, to define, execute, and adapt where needed the validation program combining experiments, tests, prototyping, either carried out on our own or through shared initiatives, designed to ultimately prove that the innovations in our solution are feasible within the performance, cost, and time constraints of our project.
Within this general framework, you will develop thermal-hydraulics methods and tools, possibly in collaboration with external thermal-hydraulics specialists, perform high quality studies with the appropriate computational tools, and validate the computational tools.
In your role, you can carry out an analysis to meet any thermal-hydraulics needs for Thorizon projects (non-nuclear Pilot design, Pioneer nuclear demonstrator design, FOAK/NOAK design), including budget, planning, tools selection, calculations, report issuance. You interact easily with other areas of expertise (such as nuclear safety, neutronics, chemistry and mechanics).
Your level of expertise allows you to prioritize based on the importance of the needs, and as an expert, you have the power to recommend any necessary actions for the project related to your area of expertise.
Furthermore, you participate in external networks, including international initiatives, to stay at the forefront of industry developments.
In this environment, you get the unique opportunity to put your knowledge to the best use, develop your ideas, and explore various aspects of thermal-hydraulics engineering.
This role is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands or in Lyon, France.
