Our mission is to make nuclear energy globally accessible, starting with the Aalo-1, a 10 MWe reactor leveraging cutting-edge safety, modularity, and efficiency. Based in Austin, TX, we’re rapidly growing as we work to deploy the world’s first fleet of advanced microreactors. Join us and help revolutionize energy for a sustainable future.\nWhy This Role\nMost manufacturing companies end up with disconnected software: one system for engineering, one for manufacturing, one for quality, one for procurement, one for logistics, and a large amount of human effort stitching the gaps together.\nAalo cannot scale that way. We are trying to compress the path from customer need to deployed Aalo Pod, and that requires software and AI systems that connect engineering intent, supply chain, factory execution, quality evidence, delivery documentation, and operational feedback.\nIn this role, you will build the factory software layer that helps make that possible. The near-term work includes practical systems like machine shop interfaces, manufacturing workflows, integrations, inspection capture, and as-built traceability. The long-term work is larger: helping Aalo build an internal enterprise software system that lets manufacturing improve continuously as the company scales.\nIf successful, this role gives Manufacturing dedicated software capacity while keeping the architecture integrated with the rest of Aalo’s AI and internal software platform. It reduces manual handoffs, improves traceability, makes factory work easier to execute, and creates the data foundation for better engineering and manufacturing decisions over time.\nYou will be helping build that system from the inside.\nAbout the role\nWe’re hiring an AI Solutions Engineer - Manufacturing to build the internal software systems that help Aalo manufacture reactors faster, safer, and with better traceability.\nAt Aalo, AI and software are becoming part of the operating system of the company. This role focuses on manufacturing: the factory workflows, integrations, interfaces, data capture, and AI-enabled tools that connect engineering intent to real production work on the floor.\nThis role reports into Aalo’s AI and internal software team for technical management, architecture, and platform consistency, while being embedded with and accountable to Manufacturing. The purpose of that structure is deliberate: manufacturing needs dedicated software capacity, and the resulting systems need to integrate cleanly with the broader enterprise architecture rather than becoming another isolated tool.\nYou will work closely with manufacturing engineering, machinists, quality, supply chain, logistics, engineering, and the broader AI team to turn real factory workflows into production software. Your job is to understand how work actually happens, build systems that operators trust, and make sure manufacturing software is not an afterthought.\nThis is a forward-deployed software and systems engineering role with strong manufacturing workflow, integration, productization, and AI-native development responsibilities.\nExamples of the systems and workflows this role may touch include:\nCustom factory interfaces on top of ION or successor manufacturing systems \nMachine shop workflows for job queues, work-center filtering, material verification, inspection capture, and operator signoffs \nTeamCenter, CAD, drawing, model, revision, and manufacturing procedure integrations \nAs-built traceability across parts, serial numbers, materials, inspection records, nonconformances, and delivery data packages \nAI-assisted manufacturing procedures, work instructions, inspection plans, and approval workflows \nQuality, receiving, inventory, kitting, supplier, and material flow systems \nProduction-floor dashboards for open jobs, bottlenecks, work centers, and execution status \nAutomated data capture that feeds engineering feedback loops, design optimization, digital twins, and future fleet manufacturing improvements \nIntegrations across manufacturing, engineering, procurement, quality, logistics, testing, maintenance, and customer delivery workflows \nLong-term evolution from vendor-centric factory tooling toward Aalo-owned internal enterprise software \nCommon technology categories and engineering patterns in the stack include:\nBackend application development and scripting \nInternal web applications and workflow interfaces \nRelational and document-oriented databases \nAPIs, integration services, and service-oriented backend systems \nEnterprise system integrations including manufacturing, PLM, document, procurement, and quality systems \nAI models, coding agents, agent harnesses, tool orchestration, and workflow automation \nBrowser automation, data pipelines, background jobs, and operational glue across internal systems \nContainers, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and internal deployment patterns \nShared platform services for observability, evaluation, identity, secure model access, and auditability \nCloud platforms, secure storage, enterprise authentication, secrets management, and permission boundaries \nWhat you'll do\nSpend time with manufacturing teams on the floor, in the trailer, and in the systems they use every day to understand real workflows before designing software around them \nBuild and iterate factory software from first prototype to production through integration, edge-case handling, testing, hardening, rollout, and adoption support \nCreate operator-friendly interfaces that simplify manufacturing work while preserving traceability, auditability, permissions, and source-of-truth data integrity \nIntegrate systems across ION or successor manufacturing platforms, TeamCenter, engineering documents, quality records, inventory, supplier data, and internal AI platform services \nBuild AI-enabled workflows that improve manufacturing procedures, inspection plans, material verification, job routing, as-built documentation, and operational decision-making \nReview, debug, and refine AI-generated code and workflows to ensure they are useful, maintainable, secure, and safe to operate in manufacturing contexts \nCapture production data in ways that support manufacturing execution today and engineering optimization, digital twins, and fleet-scale learning over time \nWork closely with platform engineers to reuse shared AI infrastructure rather than building isolated one-off systems \nOwn meaningful factory software outcomes rather than acting only as a service desk for ad hoc manufacturing requests \nHelp define how Aalo builds in-house enterprise software for a manufacturing company whose systems must span engineering, supply chain, production, quality, logistics, testing, maintenance, and delivery \nRequired Qualifications\nStrong engineering fundamentals\nYou can design systems with clear data models, APIs, service boundaries, integration patterns, and permission models \nYou write clear, maintainable code and can judge whether generated code is correct, secure, scalable, and maintainable \nYou understand the difference between a useful prototype and a production system that real operators can rely on \nYou know how to keep workflow software simple without creating fragile architecture or disconnected data silos \nManufacturing and operations mindset\nYou are motivated by software that changes how physical work gets done, not just software that looks good in a demo \nYou are comfortable learning from machinists, manufacturing engineers, quality teams, inventory teams, and operators \nYou care about traceability, revision control, as-built records, material flow, inspection evidence, and operational handoffs \nYou can work from messy reality: incomplete systems, manual workarounds, vendor constraints, edge cases, and urgent production needs \nHigh output and follow-through\nYou are comfortable taking incomplete requirements, rough workflows, or painful manual processes and turning them into working systems \nYou handle integrations, stakeholder feedback, production issues, and edge cases without losing momentum \nYou care about adoption and operational value, not just technical novelty \nYou can stay focused on factory software priorities while still integrating with the
