About The Position

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 Technician, Engineered Systems supports the installation, fabrication, modification, maintenance, commissioning, and troubleshooting of engineered process systems and equipment supporting nuclear fuel development and manufacturing operations. This role works hands-on with vacuum systems, furnaces, gas and chemical delivery systems, pneumatics, instrumentation, piping and tubing, mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and related process equipment to ensure safe and reliable operation. This is an experienced technician role for someone capable of working independently, interpreting technical drawings and procedures, diagnosing equipment and process issues, and completing practical field modifications and repairs. The Technician, Engineered Systems works closely with engineering, operations, maintenance, quality, EH&S, radiological controls, and equipment vendors to support equipment readiness, process reliability, and continuous improvement in a regulated nuclear manufacturing environment.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on experience maintaining, installing, fabricating, or troubleshooting industrial process equipment in manufacturing, semiconductor, chemical processing, nuclear, energy, aerospace, or another technically demanding environment.
Strong hands-on experience with some combination of furnaces, gas or chemical delivery, pneumatics, instrumentation, process piping or tubing, mechanical assemblies, or industrial utilities.
Demonstrated ability to diagnose equipment failures, perform root-cause troubleshooting, and complete repairs or modifications with limited supervision.
Experience reading drawings, schematics, P&IDs, equipment manuals, technical procedures, and equipment documentation.
Experience with fabrication and field modification work involving tubing or piping, valves, fittings, brackets, fixtures, sheet metal, plumbing, or similar mechanical work.
Familiarity with precision measurement tools, calibration practices, metrology, and equipment verification methods.
Experience supporting equipment installation, commissioning, qualification, upgrades, or decommissioning activities.
U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Nice To Haves

Associate degree, technical diploma, apprenticeship, or relevant trade certification in electromechanical technology, industrial maintenance, instrumentation, mechanical systems, fabrication, or a related field.
Experience with uranium processing, nuclear fuel fabrication, chemical vapor processing or coating, radiological work, or controlled nuclear manufacturing environments.
Familiarity with PLC/HMI interfaces, automated equipment, welding, brazing, machining, CAD, or 3D printing.

Responsibilities

Install, assemble, modify, and support engineered process equipment, skids, fixtures, piping and tubing, valves, fittings, brackets, and mechanical assemblies.
Perform hands-on fabrication and modification work using common shop tools, machining or fabrication methods, and approved work practices.
Support equipment layout, fit-up, alignment, anchoring, utility connections, and field changes during installation or upgrade activities.
Read and work from drawings, schematics, P&IDs, equipment manuals, bills of material, and engineering instructions.
Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on process equipment and supporting systems.
Troubleshoot mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, electrical, instrumentation, and process-related equipment issues.
Support furnaces, gas delivery systems, valves, regulators, pressure-control components, process skids, and related manufacturing equipment.
Identify root causes of recurring failures and implement or support corrective actions that improve reliability and reduce downtime.
Install, inspect, adjust, and support instrumentation including pressure, temperature, flow, and other process measurement devices.
Assist with calibration, functional checks, leak checks, system verification, and basic loop or control troubleshooting.
Support chemical and gas handling systems, furnaces, thermal-processing equipment, pneumatic systems, and other engineered process utilities.
Work with engineering and operations to evaluate equipment performance and implement practical system improvements.
Support equipment commissioning, acceptance testing, qualification, decommissioning, and return-to-service activities.
Execute test plans, checklists, equipment verifications, and system walkdowns under engineering direction.
Develop and use precision measurement methods, gauges, fixtures, or go/no-go tools where appropriate.
Assist with equipment upgrades, process improvements, reliability initiatives, and design-for-maintainability improvements.
Create and maintain maintenance records, procedures, work instructions, equipment documentation, and field-change records.
Document troubleshooting results, repairs, modifications, measurements, and as-found/as-left equipment conditions accurately.
Perform work in accordance with site safety, radiological, environmental, quality, and configuration-control requirements.
Collaborate with engineers, operators, maintenance personnel, quality, EH&S, radiological controls, and vendors to support production and project needs.
