Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering

Electrical Engineer - Instrumentation & Controls
Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world's lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States. Our mission is to restore America's ability to produce nuclear fuel—fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors. Ultimately, our work will help power national ambitions and enable a high-energy society. Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.
As an Electrical I&C Engineer, you will design, document, and implement ground-up electrical power, instrumentation, and control systems for both a new industrial enrichment facility and a range of advanced prototypes and R&D systems. This role spans control panel design, PLC-based automation, instrumentation, and hands-on system integration, with scope and responsibility determined by experience level. You will work across early R&D prototypes through full facility-scale systems, engaging directly with hardware throughout the lifecycle. Design and test ground-up electrical and controls systems for new facilities, advanced prototypes, and R&D systems.
Design, test, and integrate instrumentation and controls systems for industrial automation applications, including: control panel schematics, wiring diagrams and I/O documentation, panel layouts and harness documentation.
Use electrical CAD tools to produce and maintain detailed drawings.
Design and support PLC-based controls systems, including instrumentation, field devices, and control architectures.
Design and analyze AC power systems for industrial equipment and control panels, including single-phase and three-phase power distribution.
Support design and integration of facility electrical infrastructure systems such as UPS systems, battery backup systems, generators, and backup power distribution.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate electrical, mechanical, process, and software systems.
Develop technical documentation and specifications for internal use, vendors, and contractors.
Support testing, commissioning, and ongoing system improvements across R&D and facility deployments.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.

• 3+ years of experience in electrical design tool for control systems, such as AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, & EPLAN.
• Working knowledge of electrical systems architecture, circuit design, industrial instrumentation and control systems, PLC-based automation, and/or industrial communications protocols such as EtherCAT, CAN bus, Ethernet/IP, etc.
• Ability to perform trade studies, reason from first principles, and make sound engineering decisions with incomplete information.
• Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).

Experience designing ground-up electrical and control systems for industrial facilities, pilot plants, or R&D environments.
Experience in industrial automation, chemical plants, process industries, or similar environments.
Familiarity with AC power systems, including breakers, relays, transformers, and three-phase power.
Hands-on experience building, wiring, or commissioning industrial electrical systems.
Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
