About The Position

Nusano is redefining the production and supply of isotopes to support precision medicine, advanced diagnostics, therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, and national security needs. Through proprietary accelerator‑driven production platforms and integrated nuclear chemistry capabilities, Nusano is building a next‑generation isotope supply ecosystem that emphasizes reliability, safety, and innovation. We are seeking an experienced RF Systems Engineer to join our team in West Valley City. The successful candidate will be part of a team responsible for the development and maintenance of the RF systems that make up Nusano’s production platform, primarily its Linear accelerator. The RF systems, each including a low-level drive, high power amplification, and ancillary subsystems, integrate to produce 2MW peak and 300kW average power at 352 MHz power Nusano’s accelerator platform. These systems require knowledge in low level RF design and operation; understanding of the interplay with high power RF is desirable. High availability of these systems is a must for Nusano to meet its radioisotope production goals supporting applications in cancer care. Future opportunities in this discipline may include Nusano’s radioisotope separation and next generation of particle production machines.
