Job Description

As a Data Analyst at AMS, you'll launch your career by working on meaningful, mission-critical challenges from day one. You'll use AMS's proprietary analysis tools to help verify the health of critical instrumentation and control systems - work that directly contributes to safe, reliable plant operations worldwide. This role pairs hands-on technical work with mentorship from PhDs and senior engineers who are invested in your growth. If you're a recent graduate or soon-to-be graduate with curiosity about how complex systems work and a commitment to learning in a rigorous, high-stakes environment, this is your opportunity to build deep expertise in nuclear systems while making a real impact on global nuclear safety.

What You’ll Do

• Use AMS proprietary software tools to analyze nuclear plant sensor data and assess the health of critical instrumentation—work that directly ensures instrument accuracy and plant safety.
• Review and interpret complex datasets from plant computer systems, apply training and engineering judgment to assess data quality, identify anomalies, and inform maintenance decisions that impact plant operations.
• Prepare clear, well-organized analysis outputs and contribute to technical reports delivered to clients, ensuring findings are actionable and focused on operational impact.
• Ensure work is done in a timely fashion to meet commitments to clients and notify management of any roadblocks that may arise.
• Communicate effectively with team members, senior engineers, and client plant personnel regarding data issues, anomalies, and project status.
• Follow rigorous procedures, documentation standards, and quality guidelines consistent with 10CFR50 Appendix B compliance; participate in ongoing training to build expertise, speed, and accuracy with mentorship from experienced engineers and PhDs.
• Travel 4-8 times per year (averaging 4 days per trip) to nuclear power plants and other facilities to support field data collection, conduct on-site analysis, and collaborate directly with plant engineering teams.

Qualifications

Who We’re Looking For

• Organized and disciplined; comfortable with structured engineering workflows in regulated, safety-critical environments
• Collaborative team player who works well with peers and leadership; experienced in or open to structured engineering environments with defined processes, documentation practices, and quality requirements
• Independent problem solver who balances confident ownership of your work with knowing when to ask for guidance; comfortable taking initiative while remaining accountable to team standards, processes, and quality assurance practices
• Self-motivated and detail-oriented; demonstrates genuine commitment to quality and accuracy, and understands the critical importance of your work to nuclear power plant safety and public well-being

Required Qualifications

• Holds (or is on track to earn) a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, data science, mathematics, or a closely related technical discipline.
• Demonstrates strong analytical thinking and attention to detail, with the ability to recognize when data doesn’t look right and to ask thoughtful follow-up questions.
• Works effectively on teams; communicates clearly; takes initiative—seeking solutions rather than dwelling on problems—and shows a genuine interest in contributing to the long-term success of AMS.
• Shows a strong work ethic and reliability, including openness to occasional extended hours during peak project periods and flexibility to travel to nuclear sites when needed.
• Is willing to be trained in AMS’s specific analysis methodologies using proprietary software tools and procedures.
• Exhibits a growth mindset, is open to feedback, and is eager to develop expertise over time and build mastery in specialized nuclear systems and data analysis.
• Brings intellectual curiosity and genuine enthusiasm for learning how instrumentation and control systems function and impact nuclear safety.
• This position involves work under U.S. Department of Energy contracts and requires access to nuclear facilities. As a result, U.S. citizenship is required to meet federal compliance and security-access regulations.
