The Lead Piping Engineer will join the Mechanical Analysis team at GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH). This team is dedicated to performing critical analyses on reactor systems and components, including piping evaluations, stress analyses, fracture evaluations, seismic load determinations, and vibrational responses. The group ensures performance and regulatory compliance while maintaining strong interfaces with hardware design, containment, core analysis, fuels, and civil structural teams. The team is also responsible for resolving emergent customer issues.
As a Lead Piping Engineer, you will define and analyze piping and pipe supports to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements. This role involves providing leadership and technical direction to personnel and projects, while coaching and mentoring less experienced engineers to foster a collaborative environment.

The position requires delivering high-quality engineering analyses, engaging customers to define scope and discuss technical risks, and improving project execution through lean methodology and Design to Cost principles.
This role is based at the Wilmington, NC Headquarters, though highly qualified remote candidates will be considered. The position requires access to U.S. export-controlled information; final offers are contingent on the ability to obtain authorization for such access from the U.S. Government.
