Amentum Bournemouth, England, United Kingdom
About The Opportunity
We are currently recruiting for a deterministic methods developer to join a cutting-edge development team for simulation of Radiation Transport and Reactor Physics. The role involves methods and software development to support the development of our software and nuclear data products, perform complex technical analyses and deliver technical training.
The nuclear industry is moving away from traditional reactor designs towards new small modular reactor (SMR) and advanced modular reactor (AMR) designs. The medical world is using new radiation therapies such as proton beam therapy and flash radiotherapy to treat complex cancers. The space industry is pushing the envelope on future mission profiles.
Key Responsibilities
* Code developer of radiation transport and reactor physics codes, including multi-physics models
* Development of underpinning mathematical and physical theories in our codes
* Performing complex radiation transport analysis
* Delivering technical training courses to a specialist audience
* Working as a team to develop and refine theoretical models and computational simulations
* Presenting results at technical meetings and conferences (where appropriate)
* Interfacing closely with the international academic research community
* Generating new business through interaction with international commercial customers
Qualifications
* An undergraduate degree in mathematics, physics or engineering, or any other subject with a strong mathematical component
* Experience in the application of deterministic methods to modelling reactor physics problems
* A strong background in mathematical and physical theory and its implementation in computational modelling software
* Programming skills in languages such as Fortran, Python or Java
* Ability to think innovatively and to solve complex problems
* Ability to quickly and efficiently absorb new technical skills
* Self‑motivated, with a genuine passion for the field of radiation transport/ nuclear physics
* Excellent problem‑solving skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
