Backed by Founders Fund.
About the role
As a Nuclear Design Basis Engineer at General Matter, you'll define the engineering ground rules that every part of the facility is built to. You'll own the design criteria and design basis for the facility's systems, structures, and components translating safety functions, regulatory requirements, and codes and standards into clear, defensible engineering criteria that the rest of the design organization builds against.
What they're looking for
- Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals
- Ability to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Civil/Structural, Nuclear, or a related engineering field
- Strong knowledge of design basis and design criteria development for regulated or safety-critical facilities
- Familiarity with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASCE, ACI, AISC, ASME) and natural phenomena hazard criteria
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
