Ac-225 radioisotope production via superconducting linear accelerator technology
Niowave manufactures Actinium-225 using particle-accelerator technology instead of nuclear reactors, targeting oncology therapeutic markets. The tech stack—JMP, Power BI, EtherCAT, Profibus, C++, Python—maps to a manufacturing-heavy operation (10 of 29 open roles) optimizing RF systems, beam optics, and beamline automation. Active pain points around cGMP compliance, process variation, and supply-chain distribution suggest the company is scaling production while hardening regulatory and operational controls.

Niowave produces Actinium-225, a therapeutic radioisotope for cancer treatment, using superconducting linear accelerators and radiochemistry. Founded in 2005 and based in Lansing, Michigan, the company operates as a private medical-device and radiopharmaceutical manufacturer. The business model avoids the licensing and operational burden of nuclear reactors by using particle accelerators, positioning the production method as simpler and lower-cost. Current operations focus on radioisotope production, process automation, and distribution through existing radiopharmaceutical supply chains. The 51–200-person team is actively hiring across manufacturing, engineering, and operations roles, indicating growth in production capacity and process maturity.
