RF Systems Engineer

RF Systems EngineerNusano is redefining the production and supply of isotopes to support precision medicine, advanced diagnostics, therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, and national security needs. Through proprietary accelerator-driven production platforms and integrated nuclear chemistry capabilities, Nusano is building a next-generation isotope supply ecosystem that emphasizes reliability, safety, and innovation.We are seeking an experienced RF Systems Engineer to join our team in West Valley City. The successful candidate will be part of a team responsible for the development and maintenance of the RF systems that make up Nusano's production platform, primarily its Linear accelerator.The RF systems, each including a low-level drive, high power amplification, and ancillary subsystems, integrate to produce 2MW peak and 300kW average power at 352 MHz power Nusano's accelerator platform. These systems require knowledge in low level RF design and operation; understanding of the interplay with high power RF is desirable. High availability of these systems is a must for Nusano to meet its radioisotope production goals supporting applications in cancer care. Future opportunities in this discipline may include Nusano's radioisotope separation and next generation of particle production machines.ResponsibilitiesWhat You'll Do:Active (hands-on) participation within the team that designs, develops, installs, integrates, and maintains the RF systems, ensuring that they meet high-availability performance and reliability requirements.Work with technical staff to develop and implement procedures for systems operation and maintenance.Troubleshoot and diagnose issues with the RF system and implement corrective actions.Develop and maintain documentation for the RF systems, including schematics, wiring diagrams, and procedures.Work with external vendors to procure and integrate RF components and systems.Maintain a safe and clean work environment in accordance with established safety protocols and regulations.Keep up to date with new developments and technologies in RF engineering and related disciplines.Collaborate with other engineers and technical staff to develop and implement improvements to the systems and associated components.As requested, perform discipline-related calculations, simulations, and analyses.Perform other duties as mutually agreed upon with your supervisor.Ensure that the work of self and others is carried out in a safe manner with a focus on excellence and meeting company goals.QualificationsMinimum Requirements:Minimum bachelor's degree in electrical or RF engineering or equivalent.Understanding of RF controls and P&IDFamiliarity with, and at least 3 years of demonstrated hands-on experience with RF systems and measurement techniques and test equipment for testing and evaluation purposes.Demonstrated proficiency in troubleshooting and diagnosis.Effective interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills.Knowledge of requisite safety protocols and regulations.Preferred Requirements:Demonstrated operational/hands-on experience, including troubleshooting skills on systems with high up-time requirementsFamiliarity with EPICS-based controlsKnowledge and experience with antenna design and EMI filtering techniquesStrong problem-solving skills with the ability to think creatively and develop innovative solutions to technical challenges.Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.Working knowledge of modeling and simulation codes commonly used for electrical engineering such as Matlab, SPICE, ETAP.Physical Requirements:Work to be conducted in both an office environment, laboratories, and production environmentUse of a computer with repetitive use of keyboard and mouse.Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.Available for off-hours consultation and/or call-in.Work in this environment may involve exposure to hazardous materials and conditions, including high voltage, strong magnetic fields, chemicals, cryogenic substances, and radiological sources. These hazards require specialized training, strict adherence to safety procedures, and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.About Nusano:Nusano is a privately held physics company working to stabilize supply chains, advance American national security, and enable once-in-a-generation innovations in fields ranging from healthcare to nuclear energy.
