In this role, you will own the design, development, integration, and validation of electrical systems supporting a nuclear fuel recycling facility.
These systems include facility power distribution, electrical infrastructure, equipment power systems, and interfaces with process and control systems.
This is a first-of-a-kind (FOAK) facility, and this role requires ownership across the full lifecycle from early concept development through detailed design, construction, commissioning, and operations.
This role includes close collaboration with cross-functional teams focused on facility design, process engineering, controls engineering, equipment design, and licensing.
Serve as the electrical technical lead across lifecycle stages Minimum
Expertise in power system analysis (load flow, short circuit, coordination studies) •
Experience integrating electrical and controls systems (PLC/DCS/HMI) •
Able to take ownership and drive work across ambiguous, early stage environments •
Thinking at the system level, not just the component level •
