Electrical Engineer

AMS Corporation is a nuclear engineering services company based in Knoxville, Tennessee, with a mission to ensure the safe operation of the worldwide nuclear fleet. Founded in 1977 as a spinoff of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, AMS has nearly 50 years of experience developing innovative testing technologies and engineering solutions that help nuclear facilities maintain safe, reliable, and compliant instrumentation and control (I&C) systems.

AMS supports nuclear facilities worldwide with specialized expertise in I&C system testing, equipment qualification, wireless and online monitoring, cable aging diagnostics, calibration verification, and advanced data analysis. Our engineers work across nuclear power plants, research reactors, naval propulsion programs, and national security installations to ensure systems perform safely, reliably, and in full compliance with regulatory requirements.

At AMS, you’ll join a collaborative team of experts across nuclear, electrical, mechanical, computer, and materials engineering. We invest heavily in research and development, encourage creativity in problem-solving, and provide hands‑on opportunities to contribute from day one. Many employees build long careers here because they’re able to learn continuously, take on diverse technical challenges, and work in an environment guided by teamwork, respect, and shared purpose.

The goal of an Electrical Engineer at AMS is to support cable testing and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) services that protect the safe and reliable operation of critical systems in nuclear power plants and other demanding environments. Our engineers are not simply running tests; they are developing the technical judgment, discipline, and attention to detail required to operate in a regulated, safety‑critical industry.

This role combines hands‑on laboratory testing, plant support, data analysis, and structured documentation. Successful engineers at AMS demonstrate strong technical aptitude, professionalism, curiosity, and a commitment to quality. Training will be provided in AMS methodologies, proprietary systems, testing standards, and quality assurance processes.

• Analyze real‑world plant data and laboratory measurements
• Advance the state of the art in I&C maintenance and reliability
• Support cable testing services in laboratory and plant environments, following established procedures while learning to apply engineering judgment under supervision.
• Assist with data acquisition and analysis for cable testing, EMC qualification, research projects, and commercial services.
• Execute EMC/EMI tests in the lab (e.g., emissions, immunity, surge, ESD, RF susceptibility) using diverse test equipment and software, and document results accurately and clearly.
• Draft and refine technical reports, trip reports, and supporting documentation with close attention to clarity, accuracy, and compliance with applicable standards.
• Prepare equipment for plant trips and laboratory testing, ensuring proper configuration, verification, documentation, and tracking before and after use.
• Participate in on‑site work at nuclear plants and customer facilities as needed, which may include field measurements, testing support, emissions surveys, and troubleshooting activities.
• Support quality assurance activities, including software and hardware verification, documentation completion, and adherence to structured engineering workflows.
• Contribute to troubleshooting efforts when systems do not initially meet testing criteria, working with internal teams to help identify root causes and potential solutions.

• Curious and proactive learner with the drive to master new standards, tools, and test methods in a highly structured environment.
• Detail‑oriented engineer who understands the importance of documentation accuracy in safety‑critical applications.
• Critical thinker with a developing problem‑solving mindset who is comfortable asking questions and learning from experienced engineers.
• Professional communicator who represents AMS well in both laboratory and plant environments.
