Job Description

Nuclear energy's next chapter is being written at Idaho National Laboratory - and we are looking for a Chemical Engineer who wants their fingerprints on it. Join the Nuclear Science & Technology directorate and you'll design and optimize the chemical processes powering the future of nuclear energy, national security, and advanced energy systems. This isn't theoretical work shelved in a report - it's engineering that directly supports the Department of War (DoW), where your designs are stress-tested against real requirements and real standards, and your process controls run on code you write yourself.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

  • Engineering the separation of liquid and gas components - and building the systems that generate electrical current through controlled chemical reactions
  • Turning ideas into process flow diagrams and material balances that become the blueprint for real systems
  • Running simulations and hazards analyses to pin down design and operating parameters before anything goes live
  • Keeping a close eye on plant systems and performance, catching what matters before it becomes a problem
  • Getting hands-on with system design, fabrication, and testing on cutting-edge R&D programs
  • Building physics-based mathematical models that validate designs before they're built
  • Running laboratory research to prove out entirely new principles - the kind of…
