Job Summary:
Centrus Energy is looking for an innovator who thrives on solving complex electrical challenges and turning big ideas into real-world solutions. As a Sr. Electronics Engineer, you’ll dive into advanced instrumentation, motor controls, and power electronics to help us design, deploy, and optimize critical systems for our manufacturing and enrichment facilities. If you love tinkering with everything from simulation tools to modern power electronics devices — and want your designs to make a big impact — this role puts you at the center of it all.
What You Will Do
You’ll lead the design, development, and deployment of cutting-edge control electronics, from concept to completion. One day you’ll be building design packages and running simulations in PSPICE or MATLAB, the next you’ll be mentoring engineers or walking down systems to troubleshoot issues. You’ll manage multiple projects, collaborate across disciplines, and balance cost, schedule, and technical performance — all while helping shape the future of our centrifuge technology and supporting the Department of Energy’s mission. In short, you’ll be the go-to expert who makes sure our machines (and teams) run smoothly and reliably.
We’d Love to Hear from People With:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering plus 6+ years of experience in industrial electronics (preferably with emphasis on PEEM design)
- 1+ years’ experience in manufacturing, embedded systems design, and/or R&D
- Strong skills across electrical systems, from low-voltage DC to three-phase AC
- Proficiency in simulation and analysis tools (e.g., PSPICE, MATLAB, Simulink, OrCAD)
- Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills
- Ability to obtain (or already possess) a “Q” clearance
A Successful Candidate Brings:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering with 12+ years’ experience in industrial electronics
- 4+ years’ experience in the nuclear industry
- Knowledge of industrial plant electrical systems, national electrical codes, and standards (UL, IEEE, NEC, ANSI, OSHA, NUREGS)
- Experience with electric motor design/manufacturing
- Background in embedded software development and testing
- A passion for mentoring and leading within multi-disciplinary teams
- Currently possesses a “Q” or “L” clearance
In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
This position will require a pre-employment background check and a pre-employment drug test and vetting to ensure Centrus Energy can meet the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 810 and 1017 to grant access to export-controlled information and Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information, respectively.
