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\nAalo Atomics isbuilding modular nuclear reactors to power the world's most demanding energy needs-from AI data centers to industrial sites. As aBuildandTestTechnician, you will be at the heart of turning designs into hardware. You will work hands-on with our engineering team to assemble, wire, integrate,andtestreactor subsystemsandsupporting infrastructure. This is a fast-paced, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in a hardware-rich environmentandtakes pride inbuilding things right the first time. You will move fluidly between thebuildfloorandtheteststand, helping bring prototypes to lifeandvalidating that they perform to spec. If you love working with your hands, solving problems on the fly,andbeing part of a team shipping serious hardware, this role is for you.\nHow You Will Contribute\nAssemble mechanical, electrical, andfluid subsystems from engineering drawings, work instructions, andschematics.\nFabricate androute wiring harnesses, terminate connectors, andperform soldering andcrimping to workmanship standards (e.g., IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001).\nInstall andintegrate sensors, instrumentation, actuators, andcontrol hardware onto testarticles andreactor subsystems.\nSet up andoperate teststands, including plumbing, electrical hookups, data acquisition, andinstrumentation calibration.\nExecute testprocedures, capture data, andclearly document results, anomalies, andas-built configurations.\nTroubleshoot mechanical andelectrical faults down to the component level anddrive issues to resolution alongside engineers.\nUse hand tools, power tools, andprecision measurement equipment (calipers, micrometers, torque wrenches, multimeters) safely andaccurately.\nMaintain a clean, organized, andsafety-first work area, following all quality andsafety protocols.\nProvide feedback to design andmanufacturing engineers to improve assembly processes, tooling, andhardware manufacturability.\nQualifications\nHands-on experience assembling andtesting complex electromechanical hardware in a prototype, R&D, aerospace, automotive, energy, or similar hard-tech environment.\nStrong hand tool proficiency-comfortable with wrenches, torque tools, drills, taps, andprecision measurement instruments.\nSolid electrical fundamentals: ability to read schematics andwiring diagrams, buildharnesses, terminate connectors, solder, crimp, andtroubleshoot circuits with a multimeter.\nAbility to read andinterpret mechanical drawings, GD&T, andassembly work instructions.\nExperience with testsetup andinstrumentation (sensors, thermocouples, pressure transducers, data acquisition systems) is highly desirable.\nFamiliarity with fluid systems (pneumatic/hydraulic plumbing, fittings, leak checking) is a plus.\nDetail-oriented documentation habits andcomfort logging data andas-built configurations.\nSelf-directed, adaptable, andable to prioritize in a rapidly changing environment.\nRequirements:\nHigh school diploma or equivalent; technical certificate, associate degree, or military technical training preferred.\n2+ years of relevant hands-on buildandtestexperience (or equivalent trade/military experience).\nAbility to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, andperform work that may involve bending, kneeling, andworking at heights or in confined spaces.\nWillingness to work extended hours, occasional nights, andweekends to support critical buildandtestmilestones.\nAbility to obtain andmaintain any required site or nuclear facility access clearances.\nMust be able to work safely around high-voltage systems, pressurized systems, andother industrial hazards, following all applicable safety standards.\nComfortable working on-site full-time in Austin, TX.\nDue to the nature of our work, applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S. andmay be subject to export control (ITAR/EAR) andnuclear regulatory requirements.\nWhat We Offer:\nPaid Time Off\nCorporate Gym Membership\nAdditional Information:\nAalo Atomics provides a collaborative and supportive work environment, opportunities for professional growth, intellectually challenging careers, and competitive compensation.
