To be eligible to enlist in the U.
S.
Navy, candidates must be between the ages of 18-34 The most powerful energy sources in the world need the most powerful minds behind them.
As a Nuclear Reactors Engineer, you'll be responsible for researching, designing, maintaining, operating and regulating the nuclear reactors and power plants that drive the most advanced fleet of submarines and aircraft carriers on Earth.
Here, you can fuel a passion for problem-solving by defining and redefining the cutting edge of nuclear propulsion, while setting the standard in nuclear reactor research and regulation.
RESPONSIBILITIES Naval Reactors Engineers have oversight of the Navy's entire fleet of nuclear-powered ships as well as shore-based prototypes and nuclear propulsion support facilities for America's Navy.
The wide array of technical areas involved in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion program include:
o Reactor and fluid systems designo Reactor physicso Materials developmento Component design such as steam generators, pumps and valveso Instrumentation and control of reactor, steam and electric plantso Testing and quality controlo Shieldingo Chemistry and radiological controls As a Navy Reactors Engineer stationed at Naval Reactors Headquarters in Washington, D.
C.
, you will provide technical oversight while managing projects ranging from reactor design to fleet operations to de-fueling and decommissioning warships.
PAY AND BENEFITS From the day you start, you'll receive:
o Competitive salaryo Free health insuranceo Free housingo A retirement plano 30 days paid vacation per yearEDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES In addition to the best-in-class training and state-of-the-art facilities, current undergrad students who meet the prerequisite background will also get the chance to get paid while finishing school through the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate (NUPOC) program.
Students in majors like mathematics, engineering, physics and chemistry may receive preferred acceptance into the program.
If accepted into the NUPOC program as an aspiring Naval Reactors Engineer, you can:
o Receive a salary in excess of $4,000 per month for up to 18 months prior to your college graduationo Receive an immediate one-time sign-on bonus of $15,000o Enjoy military health care benefits while you are a student in the program Postgraduate Education Opportunities As a Naval Reactors Engineer, once you're out of school you'll have a position waiting as a respected professional and Officer affiliated with the most accomplished nuclear program on earth.
Beyond undergraduate and formal Navy training and education, you can pursue additional graduate education through the following:
o Post-9/11 GI Billo Navy Tuition Assistance Programo Completing Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) at one of the various service collegeso Using Tuition Assistance to attend online or in-person graduate programs during shore assignments.
