Valar Atomics is scaling nuclear energy for heavy industrial power and clean hydrocarbon fuel production. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future.
What they're looking for
- Select, size, and specify field instrumentation including flow, pressure, differential pressure, temperature, level, and analytical devices, produce instrument data sheets, specifications, and requisitions
- Size and specify final control elements including control valves, actuators, positioners, regulators, on-off valves, and flow elements, perform valve sizing, noise and cavitation checks, and actuator thrust verification
- Perform hazardous area classification and select equipment for classified areas in accordance with NEC Article 500/505 or IEC 60079, prepare intrinsic safety loop calculations and verify entity parameters
- Develop and maintain instrumentation engineering documentation including the instrument index, loop diagrams, hook-up drawings, I/O lists, instrument location plans, cable schedules, and P&ID instrumentation mark-ups
- Tune PID and advanced regulatory control loops, commission field instrumentation, diagnose and resolve loop deviations, valve response problems, and measurement quality issues
- Establish and execute the instrument calibration program including calibration procedures, ranges, tolerances, traceability to NIST-referenced standards, calibration records, and recall scheduling

The Team
You will be joining Valar Atomics' I&C and Controls Engineering team within the Fuel Manufacturing group. I&C Hardware Engineers own the physical measurement and control layer — field instrumentation and final elements, control panels and I/O architecture, field wiring and network infrastructure, and safety instrumented system hardware. You will work alongside I&C Software, process, electrical, mechanical, and nuclear safety engineers in a hands-on environment where measurement quality and installation integrity directly support production reliability...
