Description
Standard Nuclear is fueling America’s nuclear renaissance at industrial scale. Our mission is to deliver the essential building blocks of nuclear power—enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world.
The Chemical Engineer supports Standard Nuclear’s fuel manufacturing operations by improving, scaling, and troubleshooting chemical production processes, with an initial focus on sol-gel operations. This role supports process performance, yield improvement, production reliability, and technical execution for manufacturing activities involving chemical processing, material formation, and downstream production steps.
This is a hands-on engineering role working closely with operations, fuel development, quality, characterization, EH&S, and radiological controls teams. The Chemical Engineer will help translate process knowledge into repeatable manufacturing practices, identify sources of variation or loss, and implement improvements that increase yield, throughput, product consistency, and operational safety.
The role requires strong chemical engineering fundamentals, practical manufacturing judgment, and comfort working in a regulated nuclear fuel fabrication environment where process control, documentation, and disciplined execution matter.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Chemical Process Engineering
- Support day-to-day chemical manufacturing operations through process monitoring, troubleshooting, and technical problem-solving
- Develop and improve process parameters, operating windows, and production methods to support repeatable output
- Identify sources of yield loss, variability, rework, or process inefficiency and implement corrective actions
- Partner with operations and technical teams to improve process stability, throughput, and product consistency
- Support scale-up of chemical processes from development or pilot activity into more routine production
Yield Improvement & Process Optimization
- Analyze production data to identify trends, bottlenecks, defects, and opportunities for yield improvement
- Lead or support structured improvement efforts focused on reducing scrap, rework, process downtime, and material loss
- Develop practical metrics for monitoring process health, yield, throughput, and operating performance
- Use data analysis and engineering judgment to recommend process changes and verify effectiveness
- Support root cause investigations related to process deviations, off-spec material, or production interruptions
Manufacturing Support & Technical Execution
- Provide technical support to operators, technicians, and supervisors during production activities
- Support development and revision of work instructions, operating procedures, batch records, and process documentation
- Assist with equipment setup, process readiness, commissioning, and troubleshooting related to chemical processing operations
- Coordinate with maintenance, facilities, and I&C teams on equipment issues affecting process performance
- Help ensure production activities are properly planned, documented, and executed in accordance with approved procedures
Quality, Characterization & Data Integration
- Work with quality and characterization teams to connect process conditions with product attributes and acceptance criteria
- Support collection, organization, and interpretation of process and characterization data
- Help define sampling, inspection, and data review needs that support manufacturing decisions
- Ensure process improvements are supported by appropriate data, documentation, and technical rationale
- Support corrective actions and continuous improvement efforts related to product consistency and quality performance
Safety, Radiological Controls & Compliance
- Ensure chemical processing work is performed in accordance with site safety, radiological control, environmental, and quality requirements
- Support hazard reviews, job planning, and procedure development for chemical processing operations
