Job description

The Opportunity

Nucleon Energy is seeking a senior engineer or technical specialist with hands‑on experience in industrial fluorine generation, HF electrolysis, electrochemical process systems or closely related fluorochemical operations. Direct experience designing, operating, commissioning or troubleshooting fluorine electrolyzers is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilites

Support the design and integration of the fluorine-generation system, including:

• Electrolyzer cells and HF feed systems
• Electrical and rectifier systems
• Fluorine and hydrogen handling
• Materials selection
• Process controls
• Safety and abatement systems
• Equipment reliability

Working alongside the process engineering team and technology partners, you will also:

• Help establish the design basis and equipment specifications.
• Evaluate technologies and vendors.
• Participate in process safety and design reviews.
• Help develop the facility’s commissioning, operating and maintenance strategy.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring experience in:

• Industrial fluorine generation or fluorochemical processing
• HF electrolysis and electrochemical cell design or operation
• Fluorine and anhydrous HF handling systems
• High‑current DC power and rectifier systems
• Materials selection and corrosion in aggressive fluorine/HF service
• Process safety, HAZOP/PHA and hazardous gas containment and abatement
• Equipment commissioning, troubleshooting and plant operations

Experience in uranium conversion, nuclear fuel‑cycle facilities, industrial gases, specialty chemicals or other highly regulated chemical‑processing environments would be particularly valuable.

Why Join Nucleon?

This is an unusual opportunity to join a company at an important point in its development.

As Nucleon Fuel develops its new commercial‑scale uranium conversion facility in Wyoming, you’ll have the opportunity to join the specialized technical team being built to support the design, commissioning and operation of its fluorine‑generation systems.
