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
This position is well suited to an experienced materials scientist or engineer who enjoys operating at the boundary between experimental materials science and reactor engineering. The successful candidate will be expected not simply to generate data, but to determine what data are needed, build the technical basis for obtaining it, interpret its significance, and ensure that the resulting knowledge is incorporated into reactor design and qualification.
What they're looking for
- Austenitic stainless steels and structural metallic materials
- Baseline tensile and mechanical properties
- High-temperature mechanical behavior
- Sodium environmental effects and material-property knockdown factors
- Creep and fatigue behavior
- Irradiation hardening, embrittlement, swelling, and other irradiation-induced degradation
More about this role
Role Overview
Aalo Atomics is seeking a Senior Materials Engineer to lead materials testing and structural materials degradation activities supporting the design, qualification, and operation of Aalo-X.
This role will own the development and execution of materials testing programs needed to establish design properties, quantify environmental effects, support engineering analyses, and provide qualification evidence for reactor structural materials. The position will have particular technical leadership responsibility for stainless steels and other structural metallic materials, including the effects of elevated temperature, sodium exposure, and irradiation.
The engineer will work closely with materials, mechanical, structural, safety analysis, and reactor design teams to translate materials behavior into defensible engineering inputs, degradation models, surveillance strategies, and design requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead Aalo-X materials testing programs for structural metallic materials, including development of baseline mechanical property data, elevated-temperature properties, sodium environmental knockdown factors, and irradiation effects.
- Serve as the primary...
