  • A high school diploma and at least five years of experience in an industrial, manufacturing, or laboratory setting, with familiarity with chemical, mechanical, and/or electrical systems are required.
  • Willingness to learn and understand new technology, instrumentation, and technical processes is required.
  • The ability to troubleshoot HVAC systems, including building automation systems, pneumatic, vacuum, electrical, electronic, programmable logic controllers, and cooling systems is required.
  • The ability to read and understand engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and piping and instrumentation diagrams is required.
  • The ability to follow written procedures and accurately record data is required.
  • The ability to manage and complete corrective maintenance and project work in a timely and effective manner to support operational continuity is required.
  • The ability to work safely in an industrial and radiation environment is required.
  • Flexibility to work overtime, sometimes with little or no advance notice, is required when needed to complete assignments; non-standard work hours may also be required.
  • The role requires frequent leaning, bending, stooping, crouching, grasping, and reaching above the shoulders and below the knees; prolonged standing and walking; moderate physical activity and handling objects up to 50 pounds; fine motor coordination and depth perception; and the ability to work at varying heights, in cramped quarters, and in extreme heat or cold.
  • The role involves moderate exposure to unusual environmental elements, including extreme temperatures, dirt, dust, fumes, smoke, unpleasant odors, and loud noises.
  • The role involves exposure to radiation fields within regulatory dose limits and requires comfort working in radiologically controlled areas with dosimetry badges and monitoring.
  • The role involves some exposure to hazards or physical risks and requires following basic safety precautions and wearing specified personal protective equipment.
  • Eligibility for employment is conditioned on the ability to qualify for access to information subject to U.S. export controls; eligibility may also depend on meeting Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for access to Safeguards Information, which typically include pre-employment drug screening, fingerprinting, and a criminal background check.

Responsibilities

  • Safely perform routine and non-routine installation, maintenance, calibration, testing, troubleshooting, and repair of components and equipment in a nuclear isotope production facility, including industrial compressed air, high-purity water, and HVAC systems.
  • Safely perform testing and surveillance related to startup and commissioning of a new facility or new manufacturing equipment; analyze equipment and system performance problems and recommend corrective action.
  • Keep required training current and follow regulatory requirements.
  • Support the department’s budget through sound judgment, cost-effective decisions, and implementation of best practices.
  • Develop or assist in developing work instructions for maintenance activities.
  • Provide clear written feedback on work execution and performance and participate in continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Safely perform daily and routine facility and equipment checks, surveillance logs, and work-area housekeeping.
  • Safely operate powered industrial trucks, overhead bridge cranes, and similar equipment.
  • Perform administrative activities associated with plant activities.

Desired Qualifications

  • An Associate’s degree in a relevant engineering technology or related technical or physical science field is preferred.
  • Familiarity with working in a highly regulated environment is preferred.
  • Experience working in and around radiation areas is preferred.
  • Experience in a radiopharmaceutical laboratory, commercial nuclear facility maintenance or operations, or Navy Nuclear is a significant plus.

About the Company

SHINE Technologies

Fusion-based neutron production for isotopes

SHINE Technologies produces neutrons using fusion-based technology for practical applications in medicine, industry, and security. Its neutron source supports advanced industrial inspection and the production of medical isotopes used in diagnostic imaging and cancer treatment, as well as contraband detection. The neutron source operates through SHINE’s four-phase pathway to fusion energy production, enabling reliable, commercially viable neutron production rather than basic research. The company differentiates itself by focusing on immediate, real‑world deployments of fusion-based neutron production for diverse customers, guided by industry veterans on its board and a growth-oriented strategy to expand market applications. The goal is to commercialize fusion-powered neutron production to create safer, healthier, and cleaner outcomes while expanding its market reach in medical, industrial, and security sectors.
