Radioisotopes Production Specialist
TerraPower Isotopes (TPI) is seeking an Radioisotopes Production Specialist to produce actinium-225 and other medical isotopes supporting the rapidly growing field of targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies. Working hands-on in cleanrooms, hot cells, and gloveboxes, Specialists execute technically demanding radioisotope production while balancing the rigorous requirements of radiological safety, cGMP manufacturing, procedural compliance, equipment reliability, and production performance.
Production Specialists are experienced technical operators who do more than execute procedures. They are expected to understand the processes and equipment they operate, recognize abnormal conditions, exercise conservative operational judgment, troubleshoot problems, improve work processes, and help develop less-experienced members of the production team. Specialists may work across the production landscape in chemical preparation and production support, in radioisotope processing, and in dispensing and packaging and are expected to progressively develop qualifications across TPI production areas. Advancement through Specialist levels reflects increasing technical breadth, proficiency, judgment, and leadership.
Responsibilities:
Radioisotope Production
Execute qualified production activities involving chemical preparation and production support, radioisotope processing, and dispensing and packaging operations within a cGMP environment.
Set up and operate production equipment; prepare, identify, control, and reconcile materials, reagents, solutions, consumables, product, and waste.
Maintain clean, organized, and production-ready work areas, equipment, materials, and documentation.
Safe & Compliant Operations
Execute work in accordance with approved procedures, radiological controls, cGMP/Quality requirements, and production schedules while maintaining positive control of the activity.
Produce complete, accurate, and contemporaneous production records and reinforce disciplined procedure use and operational standards.
Monitor equipment and process conditions, recognize abnormal responses, and take conservative action within technical authority to stop or place activities in a safe and stable condition and coordinate appropriate escalation.
Technical Performance & Continuous Improvement
Troubleshoot equipment and process issues and support inspections, maintenance, commissioning, qualification, validation, and production-readiness activities.
