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.\nAbout the role\nWe are seeking a Nuclear Safety Manager to lead the development, implementation, and oversight of nuclear safety programs at the Aalo-X campus. Reporting to the Director of Nuclear Safety Engineering within the Nuclear Operations organization, this is a hands-on leadership role responsible for ensuring that Aalo's nuclear facilities operate within an approved safety basis, maintain compliance with DOE nuclear safety requirements, and uphold the highest standards of nuclear safety culture. This is a working manager position - in addition to leading the nuclear safety team, you will personally perform and document safety analyses, USQ evaluations, and other core nuclear safety technical work.\nThe Nuclear Safety Manager will serve as the primary authority on safety basis documentation, unreviewed safety question processes, and nuclear facility hazard analysis. You will build and lead a team of nuclear safety professionals, interface directly with DOE and regulatory stakeholders, and play a central role in guiding Aalo through facility readiness assessments and operational approvals. This position requires deep expertise in DOE nuclear safety frameworks and the ability to both perform detailed technical safety work and translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, effective safety programs for a first-of-a-kind microreactor deployment.\nWhat you'll do\nLead the development, review, and maintenance of safety basis documents, including Documented Safety Analyses, Technical Safety Requirements, and supporting hazard and accident analyses.\nPersonally author, review, and approve safety basis analyses, technical evaluations, and safety assessment documents.\nManage the Unreviewed Safety Question program, ensuring all proposed changes to the facility, procedures, and operations are properly screened and evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 830.\nPerform and document USQ screenings and evaluations, including serving as a subject matter expert reviewer for evaluations prepared by other team members.\nServe as the senior nuclear safety authority for the Aalo-X campus, providing expert guidance on safety basis interpretation, implementation, and compliance.\nBuild, mentor, and lead a team of nuclear safety analysts and engineers, fostering a culture of technical rigor, continuous improvement, and safety consciousness.\nConduct hazard identification, categorization, and analysis activities, including consequence and likelihood assessments for nuclear facility operations.\nDirect the identification, classification, and functional requirements for safety-class and safety-significant structures, systems, and components.\nInterface with DOE field and headquarters organizations on safety basis submittals, approval processes, and regulatory interactions.\nSupport facility readiness assessments, operational readiness reviews, and other startup authorization activities.\nOversee the integration of nuclear safety requirements into facility design, construction, commissioning, and operations through coordination with engineering and project teams.\nParticipate in facility walkdowns, design reviews, and operational assessments to verify implementation of safety basis requirements.\nManage the safety system oversight program, ensuring that safety systems are properly maintained, tested, and documented.\nDevelop and maintain nuclear safety procedures, training materials, and qualification programs for safety basis personnel.\nEvaluate and disposition Potential Inadequacies in the Safety Analysis and implement compensatory measures as needed.\nSupport the development and implementation of the Integrated Safety Management System.\nCoordinate criticality safety program activities, including reviews of fissile material handling and storage operations.\nMaintain awareness of evolving DOE requirements, industry best practices, and lessons learned from across the DOE complex to continuously strengthen Aalo's nuclear safety posture.\nQualifications\nBachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline.\n15+ years of progressive nuclear safety experience in DOE nuclear facilities, including direct involvement in safety basis development, review, or oversight.\nDemonstrated leadership experience managing nuclear safety teams or programs, including mentoring and developing technical staff.\nExpert-level knowledge of safety basis processes, including DSA/TSR development, hazard analysis methodologies, and accident analysis techniques.\nThorough understanding of the Unreviewed Safety Question process and Potential Inadequacy in the Safety Analysis protocols.\nExperience interfacing with DOE on safety basis submittals, reviews, and approval processes.\nWorking knowledge of DOE nuclear safety requirements, including facility safety, quality assurance, and personnel qualification frameworks.\nExperience with nuclear facility hazard categorization and classification of safety structures, systems, and components.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex nuclear safety concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.\nProven ability to work effectively in fast-paced environments and manage multiple priorities simultaneously.\nPreferred Qualifications\nAdvanced degree (M.S. or MBA) in a relevant technical or management discipline.\nExperience supporting Federal Readiness Assessments, Operational Readiness Reviews, or equivalent startup authorization activities.\nDirect experience with DOE Safety System Oversight programs.\nProject Management Professional (PMP) certification or equivalent project management experience.\nExperience across multiple DOE sites or programs, providing breadth of perspective on safety basis practices and regulatory expectations.\nBackground in nuclear criticality safety, including familiarity with ANSI/ANS-8 series standards.\nExperience with advanced reactor technologies, microreactors, or first-of-a-kind nuclear facility design and licensing.\nFamiliarity with DOE nuclear facility training and qualification program requirements.\nExperience interacting with external oversight bodies such as the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.\nQualifying Official experience for nuclear safety, facility representative, or related technical disciplines.\nWork Environment\nCombination of office and field environment at the Aalo-X campus.\nPeriodic visits to operating nuclear facility areas with appropriate PPE and access controls.\nOccasional travel to DOE headquarters, other Aalo locations, or industry events as required.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nAn approved and well-maintained safety basis that enables safe facility operations and supports Aalo's deployment schedule.\nA high-performing nuclear safety team recognized for technical excellence, responsiveness, and sound safety judgment.\nStrong, productive working relationships with DOE oversight organizations built on transparency and mutual confidence.\nSeamless integration of nuclear safety requirements into facility design and operations, with no surprises during readiness assessments.\nA mature USQ and PISA process that efficiently evaluates changes while maintaining rigorous safety standards.\nA safety culture where every team member understands their role in protecting workers, the public, and the environment.\nWhat It Takes to Succeed at Aalo\nWe're building technology that will help reshape the future of energy.
