Wilmington, North Carolina, USA
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Hamburg, Germany
Västeras, Sweden

Essential Duties and Responsibilities
The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:
Design, develop, and maintain Java-based applications for nuclear simulation and analysis platforms.
Contribute to software used for reactor core modeling, fuel management, and safety analysis.
Collaborate with nuclear engineers and domain experts to translate complex physics models into software simulations.
Optimize performance for computationally intensive applications and large-scale simulations.
Develop and maintain APIs, backend services, and data processing pipelines.
Participate in code reviews, testing, and validation processes aligned with quality standards (e.g., NQA-1).
Troubleshoot and resolve software defects in mission-critical systems.
Support integration of simulation tools with other engineering platforms and workflows.

Travel: Travel expectations are flexible, but would likely be 20% or less and include international travel locations.

Minimum Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities)
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
