A major role of the position will require developing a robust machine learning-driven analytical tool to characterize container defects during infrequent and opportunistic inspections in dynamic environments. Emphasis will be placed on integrating a wide range of architectures with an easy-to-use front end user interface. The position will also require the development of characterization systems to study the surface chemistry and the microstructure of nuclear material storage containers. Linking visible defects to underlying phenomena will be used to build a large knowledge database for future nuclear material storage surveillance. A successful candidate will collaborate with a team of experience technical staff to explore and understand, in detail, nuclear material storage container health and characterization tools that provide the most relevant information for health screening. Candidates with a background in this research area, willingness to work with others, and a strong academic profile are encouraged to apply. | | | | | | What You Need Minimum Job Requirements: Education: A Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or related engineering discipline completed within the last 5 years or soon to be completed.
