Join Our Team
Nuclear Engineering
Nuclear Engineer (Lead)
Own the technical development of our reactor core, fuel, and nuclear systems — spanning reactor physics, neutronics, shielding, safety, and licensing. A foundational hire with broad responsibility.
Apply NowNuclear Engineering
Fuels Engineer
Support the design and development of our nuclear fuel system — evaluating commercial fuel designs, modeling performance, assessing material behavior, and coordinating with fuel suppliers.
Apply NowNuclear Engineering
Mechanical Engineer (Nuclear / Reactor Systems)
Design high-reliability mechanical systems for our reactor — precision motion, actuation mechanisms, structural components, and safety-related assemblies. No prior nuclear experience required.
Apply NowNuclear Engineering
Mechanisms Engineer
Design and validate critical reactor mechanisms including reactivity control, safety system actuators, and high-reliability motion systems in high-temperature, radiation environments.
Apply NowMechanical Engineering
Sr. Mechanical Engineer (Balance of Plant)
Lead design and build-out of major BOP systems — main steam, feedwater, condensate, air-cooled condenser, and heat exchangers — end-to-end from concept through commissioning.
Apply NowMechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineer (Balance of Plant)
Support design of major thermal-fluid plant systems alongside senior engineers. Own analysis, CAD, vendor coordination, and system integration on a first-of-a-kind nuclear power plant.
Apply NowInfrastructure
High-Power Electrical Engineer
Lead design of high- and medium-voltage electrical systems for our FOAK nuclear plant — switchyards, MV/LV distribution, protective relaying, and power system modeling across the full plant lifecycle.
Apply NowInfrastructure
Infrastructure Engineer
Lead civil, structural, and site development engineering for our nuclear plant and facilities — from nuclear island structures to site-wide drainage, grading, and utility systems.
Apply NowDesign
CAD Designer
Build detailed 3D models, assemblies, and fabrication-ready drawings in Siemens NX across our reactor, BOP, and plant systems. A foundational design role helping set our modeling standards.
