Mechanical Analysis Engineer

Job Description Summary

At GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH), we are united by a single, urgent, and optimistic mission: electrify to thrive and decarbonize. The world needs us to accelerate the transition to more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy. Together, we have the energy to change the world.

We are seeking a motivated Mechanical Engineer to support structural analysis activities for reactor pressure vessel and internal components in the advanced nuclear business. You will work closely with a diverse technical team to perform engineering analyses that demonstrate compliance with the ASME BPVC Section III and generate dynamic loads due to seismic and large pipe break. This position provides the opportunity to work on safety‑critical components and contribute to the development and deployment of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies.

You will also collaborate with cross‑disciplinary Engineering Teams to ensure successful execution of assigned engineering tasks in support of the SMR projects.

• Execute the analysis of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and adhering to business standards, practices, procedures, and product / program requirements.
• Perform structural and stress analyses for reactor pressure vessels and internal components using finite element analysis (FEA) tools and closed‑form equations.
• Develop and run ANSYS models to evaluate both mechanical and thermal stresses under various service level conditions.
• Support engineering evaluations to demonstrate compliance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III requirements, with primary focus on Subsections NG and NB.
• Generate dynamic loads for the reactor pressure vessel due to earthquake and large pipe break.
• Prepare technical reports, calculation packages, and documentation supporting regulatory and design requirements.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including design engineers, system engineers, project managers, and external partners.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience performing structural analysis, internship may be considered.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience conducting finite element analysis (FEA), including evaluation of mechanical and thermal loadings under both static and transient conditions, preferably using ANSYS Workbench or APDL. Internship may be considered.

• This role requires access to U.S. export‑controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export‑controlled information from the U.S. Government.

• For the US - the required work location for this role is at the GVH Headquarters in Wilmington, NC
• For Canada – the required work location is at the Markham Ontario office 3 days a week.

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Nuclear Engineering
• A valid Ontario P. Eng. seal for Canadian candidates and a PE license for U.S. candidates are preferred.
• Experience in the nuclear power industry or with nuclear safety‑related systems.
• Programming or data analysis experience using tools such as MATLAB or Python.
• Experience preparing engineering calculations and technical documentation to support regulatory or design reviews.
• Self‑motivated, proactive, and able to take initiative with a good understanding of nuclear industries.

GE will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in Canada for this opening.

This position requires access to and/or use of information subject to U.S. Export Control Laws, which mandate all citizen ships be from the U.S. Department of Energy’s List of Generally Authorized Countries (10 CFR Part 810 Appendix

A); otherwise a specific authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy will be required. More information can be found here: https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)..
