Job Title: Principal Reactor Fuel Engineer
Location: Oak Ridge, TN (Relocation Offered)
Type: Direct Hire
Compensation: $255,000
Work Model: Hybrid
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the KRONOS Fuel Qualification Statistics and Uncertainty Quantification Plan, including confidence requirements, acceptance probabilities, decision rules, and concurrence points.
- Establish defensible sample sizes and population definitions for kernels, TRISO particles, ceramic pellets, manufacturing lots, irradiation specimens, PIE populations, and safety-test specimens.
- Develop methods for estimating defect, particle-failure, fuel-failure, and fission-product-release fractions, including zero-failure and censored datasets.
- Establish uncertainty budgets covering characterization, irradiation conditions, PIE measurements, material properties, safety testing, and derived qualification parameters.
- Define statistical requirements for model calibration and validation, bias evaluation, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty propagation, applicability limits, and experimental comparison.
- Develop design-of-experiments, process-capability, variability, sampling, and acceptance methods supporting repeatable production-intent fuel.
- Evaluate data exclusions, outliers, missing data, anomalous observations, and extrapolations.
- Author clear statistical conclusions and uncertainty statements supporting fuel qualification and licensing documentation.
Requirements
- Advanced degree in Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Reliability Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related quantitative discipline.
- 5+ years supporting nuclear fuel, materials qualification, reliability, manufacturing qualification, model validation, or another safety-critical technical program.
- Expertise in design of experiments, acceptance sampling, uncertainty propagation, reliability methods, statistical inference, and model calibration or validation.
- Experience developing statistical approaches before data collection and working with sparse, censored, zero-failure, or heterogeneous datasets.
- Proficiency with controlled statistical-computing workflows and rigorous documentation of calculations, software, data transformations, assumptions, and independent reviews.
- Strong technical writing and communication skills, including the ability to translate statistical limitations into clear engineering, safety, and regulatory conclusions.
- Direct experience with TRISO, advanced nuclear fuel, or high-temperature ceramic qualification.
- Experience estimating low-probability defect or failure fractions at regulator-relevant confidence levels.
- Familiarity with ASME NQA-1, nuclear software QA, configuration control, and regulator-facing technical reports.
- Experience integrating manufacturing process capability, experimental uncertainty, and model-form uncertainty into qualification decisions.
