## Description

* Design of nuclear fuel handling systems and fuel handling sub-systems from requirements through final design review.
 * Develop analyses such as thermal, seismic, structural, pipe stress, heat transfer, and others, integrating results into plant design delivery.
 * Provide design direction related to thermal and fluid design requirements.
 * Identify and ensure the effective application of correct design codes into the design of plant systems (e.g., ASME, ANS, ASTM, IEEE, NFPA).
 * Analyze and allocate regulatory criteria and standards to complex mechanical and process system design.
 * Support planning efforts and maintain schedule adherence for design activities and overall plant design delivery.
 * Interface with the design team to create and manage drawing packages, including P&IDs, 3D models, and system interface drawings.
 * Coordinate with design disciplines to develop plant design information and specify system performance criteria.
 * Provide technical direction and oversight of supplier projects, ensuring delivery of data and conducting technical reviews.
 * Establish and maintain system requirements and specifications, such as Engineering Design Specifications for major equipment.
 * Propose and initiate testing programs for plant system qualification and oversee test execution and evaluation.
 * Generate design packages, including calculations, reports, drawings, and specifications.
 * Develop and review technical design documents such as System Design Descriptions and Interface Control Documents.
 * Support licensing activities related to Safety Analysis Reports.
 * Participate in design reviews as plant system and subsystem designs are established and refined.
