Sr. Electronics Engineer

Centrus Energy • Oak Ridge, TN

11d

About The Position

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.
Electronics 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.

You’ll lead the design, development, and deployment of cutting-edge control
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.
