Job Description

TerraPower Isotopes (TPI) is seeking an Radioisotopes Production Specialist to produce actinium-225 and other medical isotopes supporting the rapidly growing field of targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies.

Requirements

Develop and maintain qualifications across assigned production areas and progressively expand technical breadth and proficiency.
Train, coach, and support qualification of Technicians and less-experienced Specialists in production processes, equipment, and disciplined operational practices.
Serve as a technical resource to Operations and partner with Quality, Engineering, Equipment Services, Radiation Protection, Logistics, R&D, and other supporting organizations to resolve problems and improve production performance.
Bachelor's degree in chemistry, chemical or nuclear engineering, radiological sciences, or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience; relevant military experience considered.
Minimum of approximately 3 years of relevant experience in radiopharmaceutical manufacturing, nuclear operations, radiochemistry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, or another highly regulated technical environment; experience working with radioactive materials in a cGMP environment is strongly preferred.
Experienced in disciplined procedure use, technical work controls, radiological controls, and accurate recordkeeping.
Ability to understand complex technical processes and equipment interactions, recognize abnormal conditions, troubleshoot problems, and apply conservative technical judgment.
Demonstrated technical writing ability, including the ability to clearly document work and develop or improve procedures, forms, batch/execution records, or other operating documents. Utilization of artificial intelligence tools is a plus.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills applicable to equipment troubleshooting, investigations, causal analysis, and continuous improvement.
Ability to train and coach others, provide effective technical direction during production activities, and influence performance without requiring formal supervisory authority.
Ability and willingness to routinely work for prolonged periods in chemical and radiological environments while wearing required PPE, which may include protective clothing, laboratory/chemical gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection such as PAPRs.
Ability to support a flexible production schedule across multiple shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays as production needs require. Current operations generally occur between approximately 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.; schedules and shift structures may evolve as production capacity expands.
The successful candidate will combine strong technical aptitude with disciplined execution, intellectual curiosity, sound operational judgment, and an uncompromising commitment to radiological safety and product quality. The individual must work effectively within a diverse team and demonstrate the trust, integrity, teamwork, and questioning attitude required in high-consequence nuclear and pharmaceutical operations.
