The Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) invites applications for a Senior Stress Analyst. With
the United States’ highest flux reactor-based neutron source for
condensed matter research (the High Flux Isotope Reactor) and the world's most
intense pulsed, accelerator-based neutron source (the Spallation Neutron
Source), ORNL is becoming the world's foremost center for neutron science.
Research at these facilities encompasses the physical, chemical, materials,
biological, and medical sciences and will provide opportunities for up to 2000
researchers each year from industry, research facilities, and universities all
over the world. To learn more about Neutron Sciences at ORNL go to: http://neutrons.ornl.gov.
PURPOSE:
The Senior Engineering Stress Analyst functions as a member
of the design team working on new or improved mechanical components for the SNS
target and accelerator systems. The position performs calculations
that define the stresses in vessels, structures, and other components subjected
to mechanical, pressure, and thermal loads.
MAJOR DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES:
·
Builds mathematical
models including 3D finite element models of structural components and vessels
·
Works with other
engineering team members to define the thermal and mechanical loads on the
components
·
Runs the codes, or
employs other techniques, as required to calculate the resulting stress
patterns on the components
·
Evaluates the stress
results against a structural design criteria to determine the suitability of
the analyzed component for its intended purpose
·
Proactively works as a member of a design team
to identify modifications to reduce stresses in analyzed components.
·
Prepares detailed reports on the performed
analyses
·
Presents
results in project team meetings and/or in design reviews
·
Maintains a strong
commitment to the implementation and perpetuation of ORNL values and ethics.
QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED:
Candidate must have BS in mechanical engineering, MS
preferred, and a minimum seven years of experience in stress analysis using
three dimensional finite element codes. A sound understanding of
structural mechanics and the application of numerical methods is
required. Experience in the analysis of ASME pressure vessels, and/or
application of fracture mechanics, is desirable. Candidate should have
the ability to quickly grasp complex technical problems, have good analytical
and computer skills, and possess the written and verbal communication skills
necessary to function as in a key team role.
