    The Advanced Engineering Technologies (AET) Group is seeking a dedicated dynamics engineer specializing in the use and development of computational simulation software for analyzing rotating turbomachinery, with an emphasis on rotor dynamics, bearing analysis, damper analysis, and vibrational analysis.

    This position will involve the creation and use of computational capabilities in a research and development atmosphere. AET resides within the Nuclear Nonproliferation Division (NND) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The NND is a division operating within the National Security Sciences Directorate. NND staff contributes world class research, technology development, risk assessment, and systems analysis related to nonproliferation and counterproliferation.

    The division activities play a vital role in implementation of national policy issues that strive to ensure global nuclear security.

    One of the major focus areas of the AET group is the development of advanced approaches to operation, characterization, and analysis of nuclear fuel cycle processes.

    The group specializes in the application of engineering principles supporting the characterization of processes and related materials.

    The AET group collaborates and works with staff from other groups within NND and ORNL to assure the full expertise of fuel cycle processes are applied to meet sponsor needs.


    Major Duties / Responsibilities:


    The successful candidate, in collaboration with principal investigators and project management at ORNL, will participate in the development of simulation software to model the coupled dynamic behavior of rotor/bearing/damper turbomachinery systems.

    This simulation software package will provide both rapid engineering-scale analysis as well as high-fidelity predictive science capabilities.

    The candidate will be expected to use this software to perform analysis of problems of interest to the scientific community.

    This individual will be expected to perform well as part of a larger project team and be capable of developing simulation software in a collaborative development environment.

    In addition to these responsibilities, the candidate will be a contributor to R&D projects and will be expected to report on and brief results throughout the lifecycle of the project.

    In this position the candidate

    will be expected to effectively interact with various ORNL staff as well as internal and external sponsors.

    The successful candidate will interface with principal investigators, management, engineers, fabricators, modelers, and test campaign personnel.

    Required Qualifications:
    An M.S. in mechanical engineering or related field.
    Demonstrated expertise in turbomachinery, with an emphasis on

    Rotor dynamics
    Bearing performance analysis
    Analysis of dampers

    Expertise in computational modeling, including numerical analysis, finite element methods, and software engineering
    Experience in software development in the C++ and Python languages
    Proven communication skills
    The ability to work flexible hours and travel

    Preferred Qualifications:
    Experience in an R&D and/or testing environment
