Sr. Mechanical Engineer, Components
Forgeatomics, El Segundo
The role
As a components engineer at Forge, you'll be responsible for some of the most critical pieces of Ember, our 25 MWe nuclear reactor. Components engineers at Forge serve as hardware experts across fluid and electromechanical devices that drive the critical capabilities of our system - from the valves that control steam flow to the turbine to the heat exchangers that transfer thermal energy from the primary to secondary loop. In this role, you will have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to develop novel solutions at the cutting edge of nuclear energy.
Sr. Components Engineers will own the most critical component developments while setting the technical bar for the components engineering team.
What you will do
- Develop state-of-the-art, manufacturable flow control devices (valves, regulators, solenoids), mechanisms (control-rod drive mechanisms), and heat exchangers through end-to-end ownership (design, analysis, production layout, assembly, environmental testing, and reactor integration). Question requirements, delete parts and processes, simplify/optimize, accelerate, and automate component deliveries
