About Aalo Atomics Aalo Atomics is pioneering a new era in clean energy with factory-fabricated microreactors designed to deliver affordable, scalable, and reliable nuclear power. Backed by Kindred Venture Capitals.
About the role
As a Build Reliability Engineer at Aalo Atomics, you will own build-induced risk across the design, fabrication, assembly, inspection, and testing of reactor hardware. You will work hands-on with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, technicians, inspectors, test engineers, and suppliers to ensure that hardware is built correctly, performs as intended, and becomes more reliable with every build.
What they're looking for
- Own build-reliability risks for assigned hardware from design release through fabrication, assembly, inspection, test, and production ramp-up
- Partner with Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Test, Production, and Supply Chain to develop quality plans that identify key characteristics, process controls, inspection points, and acceptance evidence
- Lead process failure mode and effects analyses (PFMEAs), build-readiness reviews, first-article planning, and production prove-outs for new or changed hardware
- Develop and improve manufacturing, integration, assembly, welding, cleanliness, pressure-testing, and checkout processes, ensure critical processes are executed consistently across work centers and suppliers
- Review designs for manufacturability, inspectability, and testability, identify unnecessary complexity and drive design or requirement changes that improve reliability and production readiness
- Define clear work instructions, inspection strategies, tooling requirements, training needs, inspection processes, and data-collection plans for critical build processes

About the Role
As a Build Reliability Engineer at Aalo Atomics, you will own build-induced risk across the design, fabrication, assembly, inspection, and testing of reactor hardware. You will work hands-on with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, technicians, inspectors, test engineers, and suppliers to ensure that hardware is built correctly, performs as intended, and becomes more reliable with every build.
This role bridges design intent and factory execution. You will develop production and inspection strategies, identify manufacturing risks before hardware reaches the floor, investigate failures and nonconformances, and drive durable corrective actions into both designs and processes. Your scope will include welded structures, machined parts, pressure and fluid-system components, tooling, and complex mechanical assemblies. Success means reducing defects and escapes without slowing the pace of learning or production.
