The opportunity

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Sr.

What you'll do

  • Serve as Oklo's technical expert for high-temperature piping, pressure: vessels, pressure boundaries, and their supporting components within the OFRF.

  • Translate process temperatures, pressures, chemistry, flow conditions, vacuum: and inert-gas requirements, operating cycles, and upset conditions into the piping and vessel design basis, applicable codes, load combinations, service life, and acceptance criteria.

  • Perform and review piping stress and flexibility analyses for sustained,: thermal, pressure, seismic, displacement, and other applicable loads, including equipment nozzle loads and support reactions.

  • Perform and review pressure vessel analyses for internal and external: pressure, local loads, nozzle loads, thermal gradients, buckling, fatigue, creep, and cyclic service, including design-by-analysis when appropriate.

  • Perform and review steady-state and transient thermal analyses addressing: heat loss, insulation, heat tracing, temperature gradients, heat-up, cooldown, and abnormal thermal conditions.

  • Select and qualify materials for high-temperature and corrosive service,: considering molten-salt compatibility, oxidation, thermal aging, creep, fatigue, radiation exposure where applicable, weldability, and fabrication constraints.

What they're looking for

  • Design and review vessels, piping, nozzles, flanges, closures, transitions,: supports, anchors, restraints, expansion joints, bellows, penetrations, and other pressure-boundary components.
  • Define piping layout, support, restraint, slope, drainability, isolation,: inspection, and access requirements needed to manage thermal expansion and support safe operation and maintenance.
  • Coordinate piping and vessel interfaces with process equipment, hot-cell: penetrations, confinement boundaries, structures, utilities, and instrumentation; incorporate remote connection, inspection, isolation, removal, and replacement provisions where personnel access will be limited.
  • Develop and review calculations, specifications, piping material classes,: line lists, vessel data sheets, drawings, fabrication details, and technical requirements.
