  • Work effectively and transparently with other design disciplines or outside engineering firms to accomplish successful design completion to meet project schedules.
  • Exercises responsibility for accomplishing complex and unusual electrical engineering assignments on schedule and on budget.
  • Must be capable of working within a multi-discipline engineering organization understanding that many of the designs that the ACO-OR engineering organization works on are electro-mechanical in nature.
  • Develop design requirements, lead projects and mentor other engineers.
  • Prepare bills of material, cost estimates, and specifications for procurement of materials and equipment.
  • Interact with other business units of Centrus and the US Department of Energy (US DOE).
  • Performs other related duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering plus 6 years of experience or equivalent in industrial electronics, preferably with an emphasis on PEEM design.
  • One to three years of experience working in manufacturing.
  • One to three years of experience working in R&D.
  • Strong interest and/or design capabilities covering an array of electrical equipment and systems from low voltage DC systems through low voltage three phase systems.
  • Strong written, presentation and verbal communication skills; analytical and computational skills; computer skills including word processing, spreadsheets, and Outlook communications.
  • Must be able to obtain or already possess a DOE “Q” clearance.
Preferred Qualifications: (some may be required to achieve principal engineer role)
