Job description

Nuclear Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) Manufacturing Engineer (REMOTE)

Location: Remote (Within the contiguous U.S.)

Compensation: $124,400 – $150,138 annually (Target Salary: $145,000)

Position Type: Full-Time / Direct Hire

Travel: 10%–25% (occasional national/international supplier visits)

Shape the Future of Advanced Nuclear Energy

Are you a seasoned Nuclear I&C expert looking to pivot away from the day-to-day grind of hands‑on shop floors? We are seeking a high‑impact Nuclear I&C Manufacturing Engineer to provide vital technical supplier oversight for cutting‑edge nuclear instrumentation and control systems and electrical components. In this role, you will act as the crucial bridge between internal design teams and our external manufacturing partners. Please note: While you will occasionally visit supplier shop environments for technical reviews and audits, this is an engineering oversight, design consultation, and supply chain development role—not a traditional, hands‑on assembly position.

What You’ll Do

• Technical Supplier Oversight: Monitor supplier performance, review manufacturing documentation, and ensure rigorous compliance with specifications, codes, and QA/QC requirements.
• Design & Manufacturing Bridge: Collaborate daily with internal design organizations, translating engineering requirements into actionable manufacturing instructions for suppliers.
• Project & Subcontract Leadership: Lead technical proposals, prepare requirements documents, manage schedules, and oversee supplier manufacturing mockup planning and test results.
• Supply Chain Quality & Evaluation: Perform supplier capability surveys, grade technical proposals alongside Procurement, and enforce strict nuclear quality standards.
• Technical Mentorship: Guide and mentor less‑experienced engineers, serving as the technical lead for the I&C Manufacturing Engineering Group.

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

The Core Requirement: A minimum of 8 years of full-time engineering experience in the development and oversight of manufacturing for nuclear I&C systems and electrical components. (Note: Direct Nuclear I&C experience is an absolute non‑negotiable requirement for this position).

Education: B.S. degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline from an accredited university (Advanced degree preferred).

Regulatory & Code Expertise: Deep familiarity with IEEE codes, regulated manufacturing environments, and nuclear Quality Assurance standards (10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, and ASME NQA-1).

Tools & Skills: Demonstrated project management capabilities, strong technical writing skills, and experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software.

Clearance/Eligibility: Eligible to work under Department of Energy 10 CFR Part 810.

What We Offer

• Flexibility: Work remotely from anywhere within the contiguous U.S. (if outside a 30‑mile radius of a physical office).
• Competitive Pay: Generous target salary range up to $150,138.
• High-Impact Work: Play a foundational role in bringing next‑generation clean energy technology to life.
