The Chemical Engineer will support fuel manufacturing operations by troubleshooting, scaling, and optimizing chemical production processes to improve yield and reliability. They will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure production activities meet safety, quality, and radiological compliance standards.
Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Nuclear Engineering, or a related field with 3-7 years of industrial experience. Strong fundamentals in chemical processing and experience in regulated manufacturing environments are essential for this role.
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.
