Sales Engineering

AMS Corporation is a nuclear engineering services company based in Knoxville, Tennessee, with a mission to ensure the safe operation of the worldwide nuclear fleet. Founded in 1977 as a spinoff of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, AMS has nearly 50 years of experience developing innovative testing technologies and engineering solutions that help nuclear facilities maintain safe and reliable instrumentation and control (I&C) and related systems.

AMS supports nuclear facilities worldwide with specialized expertise in I&C system testing, equipment qualification, wireless and online monitoring, cable aging diagnostics, calibration verification, and advanced data analysis. Our engineers work across nuclear power plants, research reactors, naval propulsion programs, and national security installations to ensure systems perform safely, reliably, and in full compliance with regulatory requirements.

At AMS, you’ll join a collaborative team of experts across nuclear, electrical, mechanical, computer, and materials engineering. We invest heavily in research and development, encourage creativity in problem-solving, and provide hands-on opportunities to contribute from day one. The role of a Sales Engineer at AMS is to deeply understand our highly technical service and technology solutions and communicate their value clearly to nuclear power plant customers.
