Refueling & Remote Handling Engineer Location: Remote (Contiguous US). Occasional travel as needed for business operations.
Compensation: $108,908 – $131,441 / year (Target Range) POSITION OVERVIEW Are you an innovative engineer looking to design cutting-edge remote handling, robotic, and automated tooling systems?
We are seeking a Refueling & Remote Handling Engineer to join a high-impact team developing next-generation specialized equipment and servicing tools. In this role, you will lead the design, analysis, and integration of remotely operated, tele-operated, and robotic tooling systems used for critical module disassembly, inspection, and maintenance operations.
If you thrive on solving complex mechanical, electrical, and control challenges that push the boundaries of automated equipment design, this is an exceptional opportunity to shape high-reliability engineering solutions from concept to deployment. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Robotics & Tooling Design: Design, develop, and review complex mechanical handling systems, automated tooling, robotic equipment, and control system interfaces.
Cross-Functional Integration: Collaborate with core component design, civil/structural, and systems engineering teams to ensure tooling interfaces meet all functional, physical, and performance requirements.
Design Documentation & Compliance: Prepare, check, and review engineering drawings, design specifications, reports, system descriptions, and technical calculations.
Operational Planning: Partner with Operations to establish optimized work sequences, handling procedures, and integration schemes for remote equipment deployment.
Vendor & Procurement Support: Support equipment fabrication, procurement, testing, and vendor integration to ensure high-quality, reliable end products.
Standards & Process Improvement: Help maintain engineering design standards, solve complex technical challenges using innovative approaches, and streamline tooling development processes.
WHAT YOU BRING Qualifications & Experience:
Education: Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Mechanical, Electrical, or Nuclear Engineering from an accredited university (ABET preferred). Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus.
Experience: 5+ years of full-time, professional engineering experience focused on mechanical handling equipment, automated systems, or custom tooling design.
Design & Documentation: Demonstrated experience executing engineering design processes and preparing/reviewing technical specifications, calculations, and fabrication drawings.
Industry & Security Requirements: Must be eligible to work under U.S. Department of Energy (10 CFR Part 810) regulations.
Preferred Background: Prior experience designing equipment for operating nuclear, hazardous, or high-reliability extreme environments (a plus, but software/automated tooling experience is highly valued).
Core Competencies:
Innovative Problem Solver: Ability to analyze complex technical challenges and develop novel, reliable engineering solutions.
Effective Communicator: Strong verbal and written communication skills for cross-functional collaboration with engineering and operations leads.
Quality & Safety Mindset: Familiarity with high-quality engineering standards and regulatory frameworks (e.g., NQA-1, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B standards).
