Standard Nuclear is fueling America's nuclear renaissance at industrial scale, delivering essential building blocks of nuclear power to enable cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world.
The Sales Engineer is an individual contributor who supports Standard Nuclear's commercial activities by translating customer requirements into technically sound proposals, quotations, statements of work, and commercial deliverables. This role bridges Commercial, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and Supply Chain teams to develop customer solutions aligned with technical capabilities, manufacturing requirements, and business objectives.
You will manage commercial opportunities from initial customer engagement through technical evaluation, proposal development, submission, and handoff into execution. Key responsibilities include:
**Technical Sales & Proposal Development:**
- Develop and coordinate technical proposals, quotations, statements of work, and responses to customer requests
- Review customer specifications, technical requirements, and commercial expectations to develop accurate proposal content
- Prepare technical descriptions, scope summaries, schedules, assumptions, and supporting documentation for customer submissions
- Coordinate internal proposal inputs, reviews, and approvals to meet customer deadlines
- Maintain visibility of assigned opportunities, proposal status, customer requirements, and outstanding deliverables
**Technical Scope & Engineering Coordination:**
- Partner with Engineering and Operations to define technical scope, assumptions, deliverables, schedules, and resource requirements
- Translate complex technical inputs into clear, customer-facing proposals and commercial documentation
- Identify missing requirements, conflicting assumptions, scope gaps, technical risks, and unresolved issues
- Work with technical teams to evaluate manufacturing capabilities, technical feasibility, and proposed solutions
- Support customer technical discussions and clarifications
**Commercial & Administrative Support:**
- Coordinate pricing inputs from Finance and Supply Chain
- Prepare and maintain proposal documentation, tracking, and status reporting
- Support commercial activities and customer engagement processes
The ideal candidate is technically knowledgeable, commercially minded, highly organized, and comfortable working directly with customers and internal technical teams. Success requires the ability to understand complex engineering requirements, communicate technical information clearly, and independently manage multiple customer requests and proposal deliverables.
The role is based in Oak Ridge, TN and is primarily office-based but may require time in manufacturing, technical, or controlled environments to understand manufacturing capabilities and evaluate technical requirements. Occasional travel may be required for customer meetings and technical discussions.
**Requirements:**
The posting does not explicitly state years of experience, education level, or specific technical certifications required. However, the role requires technical knowledge of nuclear or industrial manufacturing, strong proposal writing and documentation skills, ability to manage complex cross-functional coordination, and comfort with customer-facing technical communication.
