Job Summary:
Do you dream in packets and thrive where hardware, software, and mission-critical systems collide? As a Sr. Engineering Network Systems Administrator at Centrus Energy, you’ll be the behind-the-scenes maestro keeping high-security networks, servers, and data centers performing in perfect harmony.
