Full Job Description
Location: Oak Ridge, TN Schedule: Full-Time 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 Automation Engineer develops, maintains, and improves software tools, data systems, dashboards, and automated workflows that support Standard Nuclear’s manufacturing operations. This role focuses on manufacturing systems, inventory and material tracking, reporting automation, data integrity, and operational visibility in a regulated environment. This is a hands-on technical role working at the intersection of software, data, manufacturing, and operations. The Automation Engineer will support systems used to track production activity, material movement, nuclear material inventory, process data, and operational performance. The role will work closely with Manufacturing, Operations, Engineering, Quality, NMCA, EH&S, and IT teams to ensure systems are reliable, secure, traceable, and useful for day-to-day decision-making. This position is focused primarily on software, data, and systems automation rather than traditional controls engineering, though familiarity with manufacturing or industrial systems is beneficial.
