Analysis Engineering Intern

Job Assignment: May 2027 to September 2027

Hourly Rate: $25.00

Your Challenge

• Assist in preparing formal Design Reports, structural calculation packages, and technical evaluations for safety-related nuclear power plant components.
• Perform structural, stress, and fatigue analyses for components subjected to internal/external pressure, seismic events, thermal transients, operating dynamics, and external nozzle/piping loads.
• Utilize ANSYS to construct finite element models, apply boundary conditions, run simulations, and post-process stress results.
• Review, interrogate, and modify 3D CAD models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks to ensure analytical accuracy and design feasibility.
• Interface directly with the design engineering team to propose geometry modifications, material considerations, and structural enhancements that satisfy customer specifications and regulatory codes (e.g., ASME Section III / BPVC).
• Verify numerical models using classical closed-form hand calculations and engineering fundamentals.

Your Skills

• Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil/Structural Engineering, or a closely related discipline (completed sophomore or junior year preferred) with a minimum 3.3 GPA.
• Technical Fundamentals: Strong foundational knowledge of statics, dynamics, strength of materials, fluid/thermal dynamics, and structural mechanics.
• Software Tools: Prior academic or project experience using finite element software (preferably ANSYS Mechanical) and 3D parametric CAD modeling (preferably SolidWorks).
• Analytical Capability: Familiarity with structural load evaluation, including pressure containment, seismic response, and external mechanical loading.
• Communication & Documentation: Excellent technical writing and verbal skills, with the ability to clearly document assumptions, methodologies, and engineering conclusions.
