Electrical Power Engineer, Sr.

Centrus Energy Corp. • Oak Ridge, TN • 1d ago

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. Electrical Power 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.

Centrus Energy and all subsidiaries shall abide by the applicable legal requirements. We prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.

This position requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain a Q security clearance. Candidates for positions requiring a security clearance are required to be tested for the absence of any illegal drug as defined in 10 CFR 707.4 prior to an offer of employment being made. In addition, once employe, employees will become part of a random drug testing program and may also be tested in the event of any incident causing injury or causing damage to property, or if it is determined that there is a reasonable suspicion the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This position will require preemployment background check on the part of the Company and in order to receive a Q security clearance, a background investigation by the Federal government. Subsequent Federal government reinvestigations may be required.
