Thermal-Hydraulics and Safety Analysis Engineer - Isotopes

From the posting

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Thermal-Hydraulics and Safety Analysis Engineer to join our isotope engineering team to own the thermal hydraulic safety case for the next generation of domestic isotope production facilities.

Position Description

The Thermal-Hydraulics and Safety Analysis Engineer is responsible for developing and executing systems-level thermal-hydraulic analyses that support the safety case, design basis, and licensing of Oklo's reactor systems. This engineer will evaluate reactor and plant response during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and postulated accident conditions using codes such as RELAP5 and other systems-analysis tools.

This role combines hands-on transient modeling with safety-methodology development. The engineer will establish modeling approaches, assess code and model applicability, quantify uncertainty, and produce clear, auditable technical documentation suitable for licensing applications and regulatory review. The engineer will work closely with safety, licensing, reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics, controls, and system-design teams to connect analysis assumptions and acceptance criteria to an evolving reactor design.

This position is focused on thermal-hydraulic safety analysis and licensing support. It does not own source-term, radiological-consequence, or severe-accident progression analysis, although collaboration with engineers performing those analyses may be required. …
