Description du poste

Deploy the next generation of energy infrastructure with Applied Atomics

Applied Atomics delivers firm, clean electricity with proven technology. We design, build, and operate nuclear plants directly alongside the facilities they power. With n o reactor science or new fuel to invent , we have n o reason to stall. We are the first fully integrated nuclear power provider built to deploy now. Founded by a team of engineers and operators who built the launch sites, test complexes, and factories behind SpaceX , designed and commercialized nuclear reactors, and ran billion-dollar asset portfolios , the team is now focused on clean power deployment. Applied Atomics is b acked by Alpaca VC, Transition, and Morpheus Ventures.

About the role:

Applied Atomics is seeking aHigh-PowerElectrical Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of the high-voltageand medium-voltage electrical systems required for our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) nuclear power plant, as well as for new company facilities including our HQ, factory integration areas, and test sites.

This role owns the full lifecycle of major electrical infrastructure: from interconnect and switchyards to plan distribution, grounding systems, protective relaying, and power system modeling. You will work across the entire company (Nuclear Engineering, BOP Engineering, I&C, Infrastructure & Construction) to deliver electrical systems that are safe, reliable, and constructible. The ideal candidate comes from industries where high-consequence electrical systems are built and operated – nuclear, fossil, utility-scale energy, aerospace ground systems, oil & gas, data centers, EPC, mining, heavy industrial, or similar.

Why we need you

We are transitioning nuclear energy from a theoretical science into a practical reality, and that requires practical problem-solvers. We need engineers who are eager to take direct responsibility for their work and see it through to completion. Your role will be critical in transforming complex designs into safe, reliable, and operational power plants that will operate for decades to come.

What you will do

Key Responsibilities

• Lead design and specification of plant and facilities high-power electrical systems including:
  • High-voltage (HV) switchyards
  • Medium-voltage (MV) distribution
    • Low-voltage (LV) distributions, MCCs, panelboards, & UPS systems
• Developsingle line diagrams, three-line diagrams, equipment layouts, cable routing, and interface definitions.
• Ensure all electricalsystems meet safety, reliability, redundancy, and plant operability requirements.
• Create and maintain electrical system models using industry software (ETAP, SKM Power Tools, PSCAD, CYME, etc.).
• Perform system studies including (but not limited to):
  • Low flow / power flow
  • Short circuit analysis
  • Arc flash hazard analysis
  • Coordination & protection studies
  • Motor starting studies
  • Harmonics & transientanalysis
• Evaluate stead-state & transient performance of HV/MV distribution systems.
• Support interconnection design including substation configuration, protection schemes, metering, and regulatory compliance.
• Develop technical specifications for HV/MV components and lead vendorevaluations and selection.
• Support construction teams with installation, routing decisions, grounding, testing, and turnover procedures.
• Develop commissioning plans for HV/MV equipment and electrical infrastructure.
• Support energization, system bring-up, and troubleshooting.
• Apply electrical codes and industry standards including (but not limited to):
  • IEE (323, 344, 379, 384, 603, 7-4,497, C37 series).
  • NFPA 70 (NEC)and other relevant NFPA codes.
  • NESC, NEMA, UL, IEC, and relevantinterconnect requirements.
• Support nuclear-specific electrical considerations in coordination with the Nuclear Engineering team.
• Coordinate closely with:
  • Nuclear engineering (reactor auxiliaries, electrical loads, safety systems)
  • BOP engineering (pumps, fans, motors, turbine systems, generators)
  • Controls / I&C (protective relays, SCADA, plant sensors, logic)
  • Infrastructure / Civil (substation pads, cable vaults, routing corridors)
• Ensure all electrical design integrate cleanly with plant architecture, safety basis and system interfaces.
• Develop system schedules, budgets, engineering deliverables, and resource plans with company leadership.
• Manage external engineering contractors, EPC partners, and specialty electrical firms.
• Support risk assessments, trade studies, and design decisions across the plant program.

Additional Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end responsibility for your projects, from initial concepts through to deployment and ongoing operations
• Partner closely with our multidisciplinary team of experienced engineers to tackle complex, cross-functional challenges
• Deliver high-quality work steadily and safely, ensuring every solution meets our rigorous quality standards while also for solving scalability issues in the future
• Continually improve our internal engineering processes, documentation, and tools to support the team as we scale
