  • Master's degree in a technical field with 2-5 years of relevant professional experience

  • PhD in a technical field with 0-3 years of relevant professional experience

  • Final level and compensation will be determined based on education and experience

Location:

  • Remote work considered for the right candidate

Why EPRI Applications?
