Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a Project Engineer to work in our Reactor Project Engineering Department supporting the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC). Our team works a 4x10 schedule located out of our MFC facility with every Friday off. You will report to a senior manager. The Reactor Project Engineering Department is looking for candidates for Reactor Project Engineer. Reactor Project Engineers perform the lead engineer role for NRIC reactor experiments. You will apply engineering principles for the assigned reactor experiment through analysis, design, fabrication, installation, configuration management, and operational performance support activities. Reactor Project Engineer will provide oversight, guidance, and stewardship of a reactor experiment being designed by one of INL’s reactor developer partners or by internal INL teams. Provide engineering guidance to support a reactor developer or internal INL project for a reactor experiment. This includes: design, installation, operations, removal, and disposal of the reactor experiment and associated systems. - Evaluate the design of reactor experiments and process support systems. Ensure the designs meet all requirements and comply with the safety basis. - Support surveillances and audits to ensure that reactor experiments are designed and fabricated following the appropriate quality standards. - Monitor reactor interfaces with the nuclear facility to identify any design, construction, or operation practices that challenge safety regulations or could impact safe operations. - Support operating or maintenance activities of the reactor and nuclear facility to ensure efficiency and conformity to safety standards. - Determine optimum configuration for experiments and perform analysis to demonstrate compliance with applicable requirements and safety limits. - Develop, ensure adequacy of, and maintain configuration management and the technical baseline of systems associated with the assigned reactor experiment and the associated nuclear facility. - Ensure that the INL engineering process is followed. - Coordinate and successfully accomplish INL design reviews for the assigned reactor experiment. - This posting closes: 10/27/25
