Responsibilities

Lead development and implementation of robust analytical methods and procedures for Natrium sample characterization, including ICP-MS, ICP-OES, gamma spectroscopy where applicable, and other relevant techniques
Lead and perform thermophysical and thermal characterization activities using techniques such as DSC and TGA, including experimental planning, data collection, analysis, and interpretation
Perform and interpret thermodynamic calculations using FactSage, Thermochimica, or similar tools to support sodium, solar salt, cover gas, fuel/material, and impurity chemistry evaluations
Design, set up, execute, and document laboratory experiments supporting Natrium chemistry, materials, and process-development needs
Develop experimental approaches to address technical questions involving sodium, salts, cover gas, corrosion products, impurities, materials, and other Natrium-relevant systems
Develop, generate, and review the generation and review of technical work products such as certificates of analysis/conformance, research reports, procedures, and publications
Manage analytical scope related to measuring purity, and performing mass balance evaluations of Natrium-relevant materials and analysis of in-process samples for quality control
Lead the development and implementation of robust chemical and analytical separation processes needed to produce high quality data from high-salt-matrix and other challenging Natrium samples
Lead and support installation, calibration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of Natrium analytical instruments and equipment
Take ownership of laboratory equipment and experimental systems, including development of operating procedures, maintenance strategies, calibration requirements, and troubleshooting
Analyze experimental data, evaluate data quality and uncertainty, identify trends and anomalies, and translate results into actionable technical conclusions and recommendations for Natrium engineering teams
Ensure laboratory procedures are developed, maintained, and continuously improved
Maintain high standards of organization, housekeeping, and operational effectiveness in Natrium analytical and chemistry facilities
Ensure strict adherence to site safety, chemical safety, and, where applicable, radiation protection and regulatory guidelines, working closely with health physicists, authorized users, and the RSO as required
