Principal Computer & Electrical Engineer Software
Job Description
Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) seeks an experienced Engineer with a background in computational science/mechanics/engineering in the areas of nonlinear solid mechanics, micromechanics, damage mechanics, and fracture mechanics. The position involves developing capabilities for finite element modeling of nuclear fuel system structural performance including the initiation and propagation of damage and fracture in extreme conditions. The desired modeling capabilities involve failure analyses influenced by microstructure using complex material models, such as creep and viscoplasticity. The position will involve conceiving of developing and applying computational failure models through commercial or open-source software to a wide range of technical engineering problems. Work assignments will include designing, implementing, testing, verifying, maintaining engineering software within modern computing architecture, and working with structural and materials engineers to deploy the new technologies into engineering applications. The ideal candidate will work collaboratively to identify and solve engineering problems and will require interactions across application developers, engineering users, and system administrators.
Required Combination of Knowledge and Skill
Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in engineering or science related field and 9 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree from an accredited college or university in engineering or science related field and 7 years of relevant experience; or PhD degree in an engineering or science related field from an accredited college or university with 3 years of relevant experience; or Currently or previously Shift Supervisor Part II qualified; or qualified SIT and 3 years EOOW qualified in the Nuclear Operations Program; or Currently or previously CRE qualified; or 6 years as SRE; or SRE qualified and 9 years of experience.
Preferred Skills
Experience in software design and development workflows and utilities (e.g. unit testing, continuous integration, version control, debugging, profiling, compiler operation/optimization).
Experience with software development including both compiled (e.g. C, C++, FORTRAN) and interpreted (e.g. Python) scientific computing languages and the use of modules.
Experience with High Performance Computing environments and Linux OS.
Implementation of material behavior models such as creep, crystal plasticity, and other material behavior models.
Domain knowledge of solid mechanics.
Experience with developing and implementation of computational failure methods including fracture and damage modeling.
