SeniorComputationalFluidDynamicsEngineer

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Senior Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Thermal-Hydraulics Engineer to join our team. Position Description The thermal-hydraulics group at Oklo is responsible for analyzing fluid flow and heat transfer within a reactor and associated systems. This work includes engineering analyses of thermal-fluid dynamics, clear and thorough documentation of the analyses, as well as interfacing with design teams. A CFD Engineer in this group will be responsible for conducting high-fidelity thermal fluid simulations using commercial CFD tools. Level (Engineer III/Senior) will be determined by experience. Specific responsibilities may include: Developing and conducting high-fidelity analyses using CFD to analyze thermal-hydraulic behavior through the reactor core, reactor vessel, heat exchangers, power conversion, and balance of plant systems Proactively designing, modeling, and analyzing thermal hydraulic systemsDeveloping and utilizing analysis methods that efficiently and effectively build confidence in a design Performing engineering analyses, which can include thermal, fluid, safety, manufacturability, and cost Collaborating cross-functionally to define design requirements, and providing technical feedback to quick-iterating design teams Documenting work using modern tools and techniques, and writing well-written, thoughtful technical reports Providing technical feedback to quick-iterating design teams Minimum Qualifications Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in a technical field, such as nuclear, mechanical, or aerospace engineering Proficiency with STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, Nek-5000, or equivalent Core competencies in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics first principles Experience with data processing (e.g., pre-processing, post-processing, scripting) Bonus Qualifications Experience with thermal hydraulic engineering principles and multi-physics analysis methods for engineering applications, particularl
