Civil/Structural Engineer

Idaho National Laboratory is hiring a Civil/Structural Engineer to work in our Engineering Structural and Seismic Analysis department. Our team works a 9x80 schedule located out of our Research and Education Campus with every other Friday off.

You will apply engineering principles to analysis, modeling, and simulation of structural and mechanical systems and components. . You will report to the manager of the Engineering Structural and Seismic Analysis department.

Responsibilities Include:

• Provide support in development of engineering design requirements, equipment selection and sizing, vendor equipment summaries and evaluations, specifications, drawings, and engineering analysis and calculations.
• Perform mechanical/civil structural evaluations and analyses of the behavior of structures, systems and components under normal operating conditions, natural phenomena hazards, and postulated accident conditions to support continued safe operation of INL nuclear facilities.
• Perform calculations and develop analytical and computational models to investigate nonlinear behavior of nuclear and radiological facilities to seismic ground motion and help identify potential research topics in the field of structural dynamics.
• Participate on technical teams to respond to NEUP, LDRD, and other DOE funding opportunities, create proposals, and secure funding for conducting research.
• Plan and implement research in structural dynamics, seismic-induced non-linear soil structure interaction analysis, site response analysis, and development of advanced seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRAs) methods. Analyses may involve applying thermal, mechanical, and seismic and other hazard loads to evaluate material and system response in various environments. Support experimental test design and perform activities such as material properties testing and drop testing.
• Document engineering analyses in accordance with Company requirements. Some assignments may require experimental physical testing involving test planning, instrumentation, performance, and data acquisition and assessment.
