Are you interested in being part of an innovative team that supports Westinghouse’s mission to provide clean energy solutions? At Westinghouse, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we seek to identify, attract and recruit the most qualified talent while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the global workplace.

The Nuclear Fuel Methods & Technology team in Västerås, Sweden, are looking for two specialists within the neutron and reactor physics area.

Your Day To Day

The team is responsible for development of analysis methods and tools for evaluation, prediction and optimization of existing and future BWR and VVER fuel and core designs. The analyses cover fuel rod behavior, neutron physics, core physics, thermo-hydraulics, development of technologies for new fuel concepts and support for licensing and development of fuel and core related analysis methods.

Computer codes being developed within the group include the 2D neutronics code PHOENIX, the 3D core simulator code POLCA and the 1.5D fuel rod design code STAV. The two new positions focus on neutron and reactor physics, and the field of work include all steps from nuclear data libraries, theoretical models and analysis methods development, via implementation in the PHOENIX or POLCA codes, to qualification and documentation of these codes.

The Nuclear Fuel Methods & Technology team is part of the Global Technology Office (GTO) – Sweden unit, which today consists of 18 persons, originating from six different countries.

Who You Are

As an applicant you have a PhD or MSc in neutron and/or reactor physics. Since most of the model development work is implemented in industrial-quality software by the developers themselves, you should be acquainted with software engineering practices. Professional experience in the area is an advantage but you may also be newly examined. You should have very good knowledge of English, in both speaking and writing. Good knowledge in Swedish is a plus, but not a necessity. You should have a strong scientific and engineering interest in the area, have the driving force to continue your development to become a world class specialist and one of our key leaders in developing methods, models and codes. Apart from the advanced neutron and/or reactor physics education this requires very good teamwork and cooperation skills as well as the ability to work independently in challenging development projects.

Additional Information

We hope that you find this opportunity interesting, appealing and challenging! We are looking forward to receiving your complete application through our online tool before March 16.
