Valar Atomics is scaling nuclear energy for heavy industrial power and clean hydrocarbon fuel production. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
Valar Atomics is seeking Staff Electrical Designers to serve as technical authorities for electrical and instrumentation design across the full plant scope: Reactor, Nuclear Fuel, Power Conversion, and Power Distribution.
What they're looking for
- Associate degree or technical diploma in electrical design, drafting, or engineering technology, or equivalent practical experience, Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline is a plus
- 8+ years of electrical or I&C design experience in power generation, process industries, or industrial facilities
- Demonstrated ownership of the complete electrical/I&C drawing scope on at least one major capital project, from early design through construction support and as-built turnover
- Track record of design leadership: formally checking and approving other designers' work, setting or improving CAD standards, and directing drafting contractors
- Strong working knowledge of the NEC (NFPA 70) as applied to design deliverables, including wiring methods, conduit fill, cable derating, and grounding, sufficient to check others' work against it
- Experience with cable and raceway separation design for safety-related circuits (IEEE 384 or equivalent criteria), or demonstrably transferable rigorous separation/segregation design experience
More about this 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. Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.
You will be joining Valar Atomics' Instrumentation, Control & Electrical (IC&E) organization, supporting design work across the Reactor, Nuclear Fuel, Power Conversion, and Power Distribution areas. Electrical Designers own the drawing packages that define the physical electrical and instrumentation installation one-lines, schematics, wiring and loop diagrams, cable and raceway layouts, panel arrangements, and installation details. You will work alongside electrical, I&C hardware, I&C software, process, mechanical, and nuclear safety engineers in a hands-on environment where...
