TITLE: MCFR Software Quality Process Lead LOCATION: Bellevue, WA, USA TerraPower 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, TerraPower 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. 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 - all for significant human health benefits. 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 and bringing forward the critical production of medical isotopes. MCFR Software Quality Process Lead The Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE) is slated to be the first liquid fueled fast spectrum reactor operated. MCRE is going to be authorized by the DOE to be built and operated at the Idaho National Laboratory. As part of the design process for this nuclear facility, there are requirements for design and analysis tools meet applicable NQA-1 sections for software. This is a unique opportunity to work on transitioning from Research and Development (R&D) work to a production environment to see the near term deployment of an advanced reactor. The impact of this work will have long lasting effects on the overall Molten Chloride Fast Reactor (MCFR) project. This role is envisioned to assist engineers in getting software Quality Process work completed for novel use cases. Part of this role will be to provide a bridge between MCRE project engineering, central software program management, Quality Assurance, Information Technology, and external partners to see the successful maturation of the software being used to design and analyze a first of a kind system, as well as software used to operate the reactor. Responsibilities * Support implementation of software quality processes and procedures on Design, Analysis, and reactor operation software used across the MCRE project. * Provide an interface between MCRE project design engineers, central software program management, Quality Assurance (QA), Information Technology (IT), and external stakeholders on the project. * Support Engineering with the development and implementation of Commercial Grade Dedication (CGD) plans related to design and analysis software. * Provide Nuclear Quality technical experience and direction. Key Qualifications and Skills * Bachelor's degree in nuclear QA/QC, Engineering or relevant scientific or technical field with equivalent work experience considered. * Knowledge of quality assurance regulatory, contractual, and technical documents (e.g. DOE O 414.1D, 10 CFR Part 830 Subpart A, and NQA-1-2008+) * Specific knowledge of NQA-1 quality assurance including Part II, Subpart 2.7, Subpart 2.14, and how this interfaces with requirements in DOE O 414.1D. * Experience with nuclear design and analysis tools a plus. * Experience with digital controls (e.g., PLCs, SCADA, FPGAs) a plus. * Experience with software development tools (software languages, Version Control, Development
