Backed by Founders Fund.
About the role
As a General Matter Mechanical Test Engineer, you will build the test infrastructure and execute the test campaigns that qualify the mechanical hardware behind our next-generation enrichment technology — including precision optical mounts, alignment stages, beam delivery paths, and structures that must survive demanding thermal, vibration, shock, and material-compatibility conditions unique to uranium processing.
What they're looking for
- Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc)
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical test engineering, environmental test, or hardware qualification via project team, research, internship, and/or professional experience
- Hands-on experience designing and building test fixtures and instrumented test setups
- Working knowledge of environmental test methods (vibration, shock, thermal cycling, thermal vacuum, durability/fatigue)
- Comfortable working directly with hardware in a lab environment, including troubleshooting instrumentation and data acquisition systems
More about this role
General Matter enriches uranium.
We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.
In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.
Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.
Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.
We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.
Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.
We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.
Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form...
