Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Centrus Energy is looking for an innovator who thrives on solving complex electrical challenges and turning big ideas into real-world solutions. As a Sr. Electrical Power Engineer, you’ll dive into advanced instrumentation, motor controls, and power electronics to help us design, deploy, and optimize critical systems for our manufacturing and enrichment facilities. If you love tinkering with everything from simulation tools to modern power electronics devices - and want your designs to make a big impact - this role puts you at the center of it all.
What You Will Do
You’ll lead the design, development, and deployment of cutting-edge electronics, from concept to completion. One day you’ll be building design packages and running simulations in PSPICE or MATLAB, the next you’ll be mentoring engineers or walking down systems to troubleshoot issues. You’ll manage multiple projects, collaborate across disciplines, and balance cost, schedule, and technical performance - all while helping shape the future of our centrifuge technology and supporting the Department of Energy’s mission. In short, you’ll be the go-to expert who makes sure our machines (and teams) run smoothly and reliably.
