CAE Plant Design System Application Engineer

Terra Power is a nuclear technology company based in Bellevue, Washington. At its core, the company is working to raise living standards globally through a more affordable, secure, and environmentally friendly form of nuclear energy along with innovations in medical isotopes to improve human health. In 2006, Terra Power 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. Terra Powers mission is to be a world leader in new nuclear technologies, while developing innovators and future leaders in the nuclear field. As a result, the companys 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 all for significant human health benefits.

Terra Power 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 and bringing forward the critical production of medical isotopes.

Terra Power, LLC is seeking to hire a highly motivated Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) System Application Engineer to support the Natrium team. The CAE Plant Design System Application Engineer is responsible for configuring, administering, and optimizing plant design platforms, including but not limited to 3D CAD, piping, electrical, and integrated plant layout systems. This role supports nuclear engineering projects by ensuring design tools, data structures, and workflows align with engineering standards, regulatory requirements, and simulation-based analysis needs.

The engineer develops and implements processes that enable efficient model integration, automation, and downstream analysis, supporting the full lifecycle of plant design and operational planning. While the role includes hands‑on work in the design tools, it is not purely hands‑on: the engineer will also provide oversight of, guidance for, and collaboration with external EPC counterparts and system users.
