## Description

We are seeking a Fluid Systems Engineer to lead the design, analysis, and deployment of fluid systems for our uranium enrichment facility.

This role is responsible for developing highly reliable, manufacturable systems that move, store, and control fluids critical to enrichment operations. You will own systems from early sizing and architecture through detailed mechanical design, testing, and production ramp, working closely with manufacturing, operations, and safety teams.

Responsibilities

 * Perform system-level sizing and performance analysis for fluid systems to establish requirements and operating margins.
 * Translate requirements into hardware concepts, evaluating architectures and design trades for performance, safety, and manufacturability.
 * Design pressurized and unpressurized components and assemblies, producing original CAD models, drawings, and specifications.
 * Conduct structural and mechanical analysis to ensure survivability under pressure, thermal, and operational loads.
 * Drive design-for-manufacturability improvements to enable efficient, repeatable production.
 * Lead first-article builds and work directly with manufacturing teams to establish robust production processes.
 * Plan and execute development, qualification, and acceptance testing for critical hardware.
 * Define concepts of operations for systems, from commissioning and acceptance testing through steady-state operation.
 * Participate in internal and external design reviews with cross-functional partners, suppliers, and stakeholders.
