Overview

Do you get energized by sensors, data, and electronics that make complex machines smarter? As a Sr. Instrumentation Electronics Engineer at Centrus Energy, you'll build the nervous system of our advanced centrifuge technologies-crafting clever circuits, integrating sensors, and designing data-acquisition and control solutions that keep America's clean-energy future spinning. You'll develop new instrumentation electronics, write LabVIEW-based tools that turn signals into insight, and help bridge R&D to production with designs that are reliable, scalable, and wildly effective. If you enjoy turning engineering challenges into elegant hardware-and-software solutions, this is your kind of playground.

Responsibilities

As the lead for advanced instrumentation systems, you will be responsible for developing, deploying, and supporting cutting-edge electronics and data-acquisition capabilities in manufacturing and production environments. Your role ensures that complex electromechanical systems operate safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and deploy advanced instrumentation systems, including new electronics and data-acquisition solutions for production environments.
• Design analog and digital circuits to support instrumentation and control needs.
• Develop LabVIEW tools for system monitoring, control, and data analysis.
• Create detailed specifications and design packages for electronics and instrumentation projects.
• Manage electronics builds and testing, ensuring quality and compliance with requirements.
• Troubleshoot system performance in centrifuge-plant environments to maintain operational reliability.
• Collaborate across disciplines, working closely with mechanical, electrical, and external engineering teams.
• Lead project tasks and mentor engineers, fostering technical growth and team success.
• Prepare Bills of Materials (BOMs) and procurement specifications to support timely and accurate sourcing.
• Ensure safe and efficient operation of complex electromechanical systems while meeting project schedules.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of experience, or equivalent industrial instrumentation experience
• 1+ years in manufacturing, R&D, and electronics development
• Experience with instrumentation, sensors, circuit development, and data-acquisition design
• Familiarity with simulation and modeling (e.g., Altium, PSPICE, LabVIEW, Simulink, OrCAD)
• Ability to obtain or maintain a "Q" clearance.

A Successful Candidate Brings:

• Bachelor's or + 10 years of experience, or Master's with focus in industrial electronics
• 3+ years of nuclear-industry experience
• Hands-on circuit design and implementation for production/manufacturing
• Deep LabVIEW data-acquisition experience
• Embedded software development and/or test experience
• Currently possesses a "Q" or "L" clearance
