Job description

Overview

ORAU is conducting the search on behalf of Centrus Energy for a permanent, fulltime Embedded Systems Software Engineer in Oak Ridge, TN.

Ready to turn microcontrollers, firmware, and circuit boards into real-world impact? As an Embedded Systems Software Engineer at Centrus Energy, you'll help power the next generation of advanced centrifuge technology by designing the brains and electronics behind our mission-critical control systems. You'll work on everything from TI-based embedded programming to motor-control logic and custom instrumentation hardware-bringing ideas to life in development labs and production environments. If you love engineering that blends hands-on build/test work with thoughtful design and cross-functional collaboration, we'd love to meet you. Bonus points if firmware brings you joy!

Responsibilities

You'll lead embedded software and control-electronics design for new machine control and motor-drive systems supporting development activities in Oak Ridge and operations in Piketon. You'll develop requirements, specs, and test plans; design analog/digital circuits; troubleshoot systems; and guide manufacturing of electronics and prototypes. You'll evaluate performance, implement electrical system modifications, support instrumentation and controls, and collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and external engineering teams to keep projects on schedule and performing at their best.

Qualifications

We'd Love to Hear from People With:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering plus 6+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent industrial electronics experience
  • 1-3 years in embedded systems design
  • 1-3 years supporting manufacturing and/or R&D environments
  • Experience with industrial electronics, embedded programming, and circuit design
  • Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
  • Ability to juggle multiple technical projects with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to obtain or maintain a "Q" clearance. 

A Successful Candidate Brings:

  • Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering with 12+ years relevant industrial electronics experience
  • Embedded software development or test experience
  • Experience in electric motor-control design
  • 4+ years of experience in the nuclear industry
  • Familiarity with electrical distribution systems, national codes, and regulatory requirements (UL, IEEE, NEC, ANSI, OSHA, NUREGs)
  • Currently possesses a "Q" or "L" clearance
