TerraPower® is a nuclear energy technology company based in Bellevue, Washington. At our core, we are working to raise living standards globally. The essential factor? Energy. In 2006, the company originated with Bill Gates and a group of like-minded visionaries who evaluated the fundamental challenges to raising living standards around the world. They recognized energy access was crucial to the health and economic well-being of communities, and decided that the private sector needed to take action and create energy sources that would advance global energy deployment.

TerraPower's mission is to be a world leader in new nuclear technologies, while developing innovators and future leaders in the nuclear field. TerraPower is committed to bringing sustainable, affordable and safe energy to address global issues. As a result, the company's activities in the fields of nuclear energy and related sciences are yielding significant innovations in the safety and economics of nuclear power, hybrid energy and medical applications.

TerraPower is seeking to hire highly motivated and forward thinking professionals who are interested in focusing on advanced nuclear reactor research and development, and influencing change within the nuclear power landscape.

TerraPower, LLC. is seeking a highly motivated Principal Engineer to support Seismic and CSA Integration for TerraPower's advanced nuclear reactor projects. In this role, you will support the development of plant level requirements and strategies relevant to complex seismic design and licensing activities, perform technical review of work products, and facilitate the integration and implementation of strategies and work products across project disciplines.

Candidates must have extensive experience in seismic design and analysis, soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis, civil/structural design and analysis, safety and probabilistic analysis, seismic fragility evaluations, peer review, with a focus on seismic vulnerabilities (seismic interactions), and requirements/criteria development for nuclear power projects. The successful candidate will coordinate with engineers working on structures, systems, components, and engineering analyses for successful integration of input and requirements for nuclear plant seismic design and analysis. The Engineer will coordinate scope, schedule and technical integration for system design, 3D model and drawing development, and also support cross functional collaboration with licensing, safety analysis, and PRA.

Responsibilities:

• Provide continuous oversight of seismic design scope, covering building and structural systems, foundations, equipment supports, and integrated plant analyses such as soil--structure interaction (SSI), seismic fragility development, and PRA inputs.
• Coordinate and direct complex multi-system analyses, including SSI studies, seismic model development, external hazard characterization, and building seismic qualification, ensuring cons
