Genf, Schweiz Transmutex SA Vollzeit

Founded in 2019, Transmutex aims to reinvent nuclear energy/medicine/waste recycling by using an accelerator-driven system (ADS) to optimize the transmutation of long-lived nuclear waste. The innovative combination of particle accelerators and Thorium fuel based on existing long-lived radioactive waste allows generating energy intrinsically safe and recycle the stockpile of long-lived waste in a proliferation-resistant way.

We are seeking a qualified and motivated nuclear safety engineer to join our team for the safety design and analysis of our system. You will play a critical role in ensuring safety and regulatory compliance of the START design, contributing to its development, licensing and operational readiness.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Develop and manage comprehensive safety cases for the START, ensuring alignment with applicable nuclear licensing standards and regulatory frameworks.
  2. Identify, document, and justify the design basis, safety principles, and engineered safety features of the system.
  3. Produce and maintain structured Design Options and Provisions Files (DOPF).
  4. Conduct Level 1 and Level 2 PSA for the identification and quantification of risk.
  5. Use PSA insights to identify vulnerabilities and propose risk-reduction measures.
  6. Perform fault tree/event tree analysis to assess the likelihood and consequences of initiating events.
  7. Perform hazard analysis using techniques such as HAZOP.
  8. Integrate safety principles into the engineering design of systems, structures, and components.
  9. Provide recommendations for design improvements based on safety assessment outcomes.
  10. Prepare detailed technical reports, presentations, and documentation for internal stakeholders and regulators.
  11. Participate in safety review committees and design review boards.
Requirements

The candidates we are looking for must have:

  1. Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field with 3+ years of experience in the nuclear industry.
  2. Strong understanding of nuclear safety principles, including defence-in-depth, inherent safety, and probabilistic safety approaches.
  3. Familiarity with international safety standards and mechanical codes (e.g. ASME Section III, RCC-MR).
  4. Formal training in nuclear safety analysis and licensing frameworks.
  5. Strong verbal and written communication skills for technical reporting and regulatory interactions.

Additionally, it will be an advantage if you have:

  1. Experience in nuclear safety engineering, preferably in advanced fast reactor systems.
  2. Proven track record in developing safety cases and conducting DSA, PSA, and hazard assessments.
  3. Proficiency in French, German or Italian.

Apply by January 31, 2025.

Starting date: at your earliest convenience.

We offer a highly competitive salary and social security, accident/disability insurance and pension plans; as well as five weeks paid vacation.
