Interface directly with customers to understand technical product requirements, resolve inquiries, and ensure satisfaction
Collaborate cross-functionally with Chemistry, Operations, Engineering, and Business teams to align product certification with production schedules and commercial objectives
Ensure compliance with NRC, DOE, and other applicable regulatory requirements for enriched uranium product handling and certification
Lead continuous improvement initiatives to optimize blending processes, reduce variability, and enhance product quality
Build and mentor technical capability within the organization as General Matter scales
