Job description

Job Summary:

Turn operational data into operational decisions. As an Operations Analysis System Engineer, you’ll use real-time and historical process data to help Centrus understand how our centrifuges, cascades, and supporting systems are performing—and what the data is telling us when something doesn’t look right. You’ll work closely with Operations, Engineering, and Nuclear Material Controls & Accountability to develop analyses, calculations, models, test plans, and engineering evaluations that support safe, reliable, and efficient operations. You’ll also serve as a technical subject matter expert for the Area Control Room, helping troubleshoot transient conditions, trend cascade performance, support operator training, and turn complex data into practical answers.

What You Will Do:

• Analyze real-time and historical instrument and process data to monitor centrifuge and cascade performance, reliability, and condition
• Develop and maintain engineering evaluations, calculations, models, spreadsheets, code, and data-analysis tools
• Apply statistical and analytical methods to identify trends, troubleshoot equipment issues, and support cascade modeling.
• Support feed and withdrawal systems and analyze operational performance and transient conditions
• Perform nuclear material accountability analyses, including weighted-average assay, active inventory, and material diversion detection calculations
• Serve as a technical subject matter expert for Operations and Area Control Room personnel.
• Develop and execute test plans and support operations procedure reviews
• Use tools such as Excel, PI Vision, MATLAB, Python, and other data-analysis technologies to turn complex operational data into actionable insights

We’d Love to Hear from People With:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, data science, mathematics, physics, computer science, or a related technical field.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and at least one analytical/programming tool such as Python, MATLAB, or PI Vision
• The ability to obtain and maintain a “Q” clearance

A Successful Candidate Brings

• 5+ years of experience in nuclear, industrial, manufacturing, or process operations.
• Experience with process historians or real-time operational data, preferably PI Vision.
• Experience with statistical analysis, modeling, reliability analysis, or equipment troubleshooting.
• Experience developing engineering calculations, test plans, or technical evaluations.
• Must possess or be able to obtain and maintain a “Q” level security clearance
