Job Description

Nuclear energy is one of the most reliable, low-carbon power sources available today — and the chemistry systems that keep reactors operating safely are central to that reliability.

Key Responsibilities

Design chemical injection systems by developing and interpreting engineering design documents and drawings and contributing to new plant design activities for chemistry-related systems and issues including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and other systems.
Provide technical support alongside a team of engineers and chemists to develop, deliver, and troubleshoot products related to BWR chemistry — from laboratory testing through in-plant demonstration and implementation.
Operate and oversee high-temperature, high-pressure laboratory testing loops and other mechanical test systems, ensuring safe and accurate execution of test plans.
Collaborate across boundaries — interfacing with internal teams, external customers, industry group technical members, and vendors to resolve technical issues and advance BWR chemistry knowledge.
Support project scoping and execution for new initiatives, including laboratory testing, in-plant demonstrations, and field delivery.
Document clearly and completely — capturing test plans, evaluation results, and mechanical design requirements to the standards required for a nuclear environment.

Requirements

You're an engineer who is equally comfortable in a lab setting and in front of a set of plant drawings. You think critically, troubleshoot systematically, and communicate technical findings with precision.
Prior engineering experience in a technical, laboratory, or industrial environment
Knowledge of control systems, including PLCs and LabVIEW
Hands-on experience designing, constructing, or maintaining custom mechanical systems
Familiarity with BWR plant systems and/or nuclear chemistry
This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
