About The Position

Electrical Engineer Who we are… We are a team of scientists, engineers, technicians, and innovators dedicated to changing the world by developing medical isotopes to treat and eradicate cancer. We believe in building an environment where collaboration, curiosity, and camaraderie thrive. We also enjoy darts, cornhole, ping-pong, chili cook-offs, and other fun events that makes our company a community where we make a life, not just a living. Who you are… You are reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a regulated, risk-aware environment. You take a methodical, hands-on approach to problem solving, quickly identifying issues and driving practical solutions. You think logically, communicate clearly, and focus on root cause—not just symptoms. Words that describe you are systems-oriented, precise, and data-driven. What you can expect to work on… The Electrical Engineer will design, implement, troubleshoot, and upgrade electrical and control systems used in linear particle accelerators and related radioisotope production equipment. This role requires expertise in high-voltage systems, RF power, pulsed power, and radiation-safe electrical design, with a strong emphasis on reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance in a radiological environment.
