Applied Atomics is seeking a High-Power Electrical Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of the high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems required for our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) nuclear power plant, as well as for new company facilities including our HQ, factory integration areas, and test sites.
This role owns the full lifecycle of major electrical infrastructure: from interconnect and switchyards to plan distribution, grounding systems, protective relaying, and power system modeling. You will work across the entire company (Nuclear Engineering, BOP Engineering, I&C, Infrastructure & Construction) to deliver electrical systems that are safe, reliable, and constructible. The ideal candidate comes from industries where high-consequence electrical systems are built and operated – nuclear, fossil, utility-scale energy, aerospace ground systems, oil & gas, data centers, EPC, mining, heavy industrial, or similar.
We are transitioning nuclear energy from a theoretical science into a practical reality, and that requires practical problem-solvers. We need engineers who are eager to take direct responsibility for their work and see it through to completion. Your role will be critical in transforming complex designs into safe, reliable, and operational power plants that will operate for decades to come.
