Company Overview:
Join a highly respected precision manufacturing firm based in Chattanooga, TN, specializing in providing engineering services to nuclear utilities, DOE contractors, DOD programs, aerospace, and other high-specification industries. This company excels in large-format CNC machining, advanced fabrication, and a wide range of engineering services, including reverse engineering and equipment qualification. Their commitment to quality aligns with rigorous standards such as NQA-1, ASME, and ISO certifications.
Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Sales Engineer to serve as a critical technical and commercial interface between our client’s customers, estimating team, engineers, and production staff. This role is pivotal for reviewing nuclear-grade RFQs, developing internal costing strategies, supporting manufacturing planning, and crafting technically strong proposal documentation. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Sales, you will play a significant role in executing our client’s growth strategy within the nuclear sector.
Key Responsibilities:
Customer & Quotation Support
- Thoroughly review RFQs, technical drawings, customer specifications, and QA requirements related to nuclear projects.
- Collaborate with estimators to formulate cost models, labor calculations, material assumptions, and scheduling inputs.
- Prepare detailed technical proposals, narrative responses, and comprehensive bid package documentation.
- Identify risks, gaps, and uncertainties in customer specifications and recommend effective mitigation strategies.
- Assist in bid reviews, pricing strategy development, and customer clarification efforts throughout the quotation process.
- Engage with engineering, machining, welding, quality, and manufacturing planning teams to devise effective internal manufacturing strategies.
- Convert customer requirements into actionable internal processes, technical instructions, and production planning inputs.
- Participate in manufacturability and engineering change reviews, as well as strategic project planning sessions.
- Support evaluation of reverse-engineering needs, commercial-grade dedication, and equipment qualification pathways.
- Review and assess large nuclear project packages including ASME code components, structural modules, precision-machined assemblies, and DOE/DOD hardware.
- Maintain thorough knowledge of nuclear compliance standards such as NQA-1, ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, and other related requirements.
- Contribute to early-stage pursuit strategies, including risk analysis, technical solutions, and cost-driver identification.
- Provide expert technical support during customer engagements with utilities, EPCs, national laboratories, and government contractors.
- Effectively present the company’s capabilities in machining, fabrication, engineering, and nuclear-grade quality programs.
- Foster long-term customer relationships within the nuclear, DOE/DOD, and clean energy manufacturing landscapes.
- Offer constructive feedback to enhance the quotation process, share lessons learned, and elevate the customer experience.
Qualifications:
- Minimum of 10 years of relevant experience in manufacturing, sales engineering, quoting, or technical project management, with a strong preference for experience in nuclear manufacturing or supply chain environments.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering is preferred; other engineering disciplines or equivalent professional experience will be considered.
- Proficient technical writing skills, with proven experience in drafting proposals, narratives, and technical correspondence.
- Ability to read and interpret complex drawings, specifications, and nuclear QA documentation.
- Knowledgeable in nuclear compliance frameworks (NQA-1, Appendix B, ASME, AWS).
- Exceptional communication, organizational, and analytical skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively across various departments and manage multiple simultaneous quotations.
- Willingness to travel occasionally for customer visits, project development, and industry events.
Why This Opportunity?
- Become part of an innovative leader in advanced manufacturing that proudly serves nuclear, defense, aerospace, and energy markets.
- Collaborate daily with skilled professionals in engineering, machining, and welding within a dynamic and high-skill environment.
- Seize the chance to contribute to significant investments in company growth, state-of-the-art equipment, and workforce development.
- Play a vital role in the supply chain essential to next-generation nuclear energy and national security initiatives.
