Job Summary
We are building a next-generation nuclear energy company focused on a single standardized microreactor core deployed in two variants: terrestrial power and lunar/space power.
Our mission is to deliver portable long-life factory-fabricated nuclear systems that are safe licensable and scalable. We are seeking a Senior Nuclear Engineer to take technical ownership of reactor physics neutronics and core safety analysis for our unified reactor platform.
This role is central to the credibility licensability and long-term success of the company. You will work closely with systems thermal mechanical and licensing teams to mature a reactor design intended for real deploymentnot paper studies.
Tasks
Own reactor physics and neutronics analysis for the core across terrestrial and space variants
- Perform steady-state and transient analyses including reactivity coefficients kinetics parameters shutdown margins and power distributions
- Develop validate and document modeling methods using Monte Carlo and deterministic tools
- Support safety analysis fault response modeling and design basis events
- Assess conservatism uncertainties and assumptions in nuclear calculations
- Interface with systems thermal-hydraulics materials and mechanical engineering teams
- Contribute to licensing strategy regulatory documentation and external technical reviews
- Mentor junior engineers as the team grows
Requirements
- Degree in Nuclear Engineering or closely related field (MS or PhD preferred)
- 6 years of experience in nuclear reactor analysis design or safety
- Strong experience with neutronics tools such as MCNP Serpent OpenMC SCALE or equivalent
- Experience documenting analysis methods for internal regulatory or external stakeholders
- Ability to work across disciplines in a fast-moving technical environment
Benefits
- Meaningful equity participation in a foundational nuclear platform
- Competitive medical dental and vision coverage
- Flexible PTO and paid holidays
- Direct access to leadership and real technical authority
- Opportunity to shape a reactor that will operate on Earth and beyond
If you are motivated by building a reactor that will actually be deployed rather than endlessly redesigned then we want to speak with you. This is a rare opportunity to help define a unified nuclear platform from first principles through operation.
