These analyses underpin key design decisions and form an essential part of the nuclear safety case, so establishing confidence in model predictions is fundamental. This role involves leading a small technical team to develop, verify, validate, and quantify uncertainties in thermal-hydraulic models and analysis codes. You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to support reactor transient and fault analysis, core sub-channel modelling, and containment analysis. Key Responsibilities Validation Lead benchmarking of analytical models against experimental data Develop and improve modelling approaches and methodologies Collaborate with test rig teams to define requirements and support experimental campaigns Verification Apply robust quality management processes to analysis and modelling activities Support development of automated analysis workflows using Python on Linux-based HPC systems Uncertainty Quantification Lead sensitivity studies and apply statistical techniques to quan...
