Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.\nOur mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society. \nWe were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms. \nOur lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. \nWe are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. \nHelp us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable. \nAbout the Role\nThe Design Reliability team makes sure that what we design is what we build, and that it works. We evaluate and guide engineering designs from concept to operation, so the enrichment technology we deliver meets or exceeds both our internal design criteria and our external requirements. We are the connective tissue of the engineering organization: we facilitate cross-disciplinary action and problem-solving across every team and program, and we make sure nothing falls between them.\nIf you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to apply to join our team.\nResponsibilities\nEnsure General Matter's design process and design criteria are followed for our enrichment technology, from concept through build, including:\nRun design reviews and give the pass/fail call on whether a design is ready to move forward.\nFacilitate cross-disciplinary discussion, capture decisions, and convert them into actions with clear owners and due dates, then drive those actions to closure.\nDrive improvements to the design through close integration with hardware and engineering teams.\nMaintain the integrity of our configuration, including:\nRun change reviews and confirm that every change is evaluated, approved, and reflected across all affected documents and teams.\nMaintain official design documents, drawings, and P&IDs controlled and current.\nManage design criteria and the connections between design elements in Stillsuit, so that what we've designed, documented, and built always match.\nIdentify, track, and retire engineering risk, including:\nSurface risks early, put an owner and a mitigation plan on each one, and push every risk to closure.\nEscalate quickly when risks or actions stall.\nKeep the whole system connected, including:\nBuild working knowledge of how every subsystem and team fits together.\nSpot missing interfaces between teams and drive the coordination needed to close them.\nAutomate review, document control, and risk workflows, using AI where it helps, so our process scales as the company does.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in any STEM discipline.\nEvidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, leadership of technical teams, completed hardware, portfolio of work, etc.).\nExceptional attention to detail and a high bar for accuracy in technical documentation.\nDemonstrated ability to run a meeting, drive decisions, and hold people accountable to commitments, including peers and more senior engineers.\nAbility to obtain and maintain required security clearance and access authorization.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nExperience in design reliability, design assurance, configuration management, or systems engineering.\nSystems engineering experience in aerospace or defense, or process engineering experience in chemical, energy, or semiconductor environments.\nAbility to read and interpret engineering drawings and P&IDs.\nExperience automating engineering workflows, including use of AI tools.\nFamiliarity with change control, document control, or risk management processes (e.g., CCB, MOC, FMEA, risk registers).\nExperience in fast-paced, resource-constrained startup environments.\nAdditional Requirements\nAbility to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nGeneral Matter is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with General Matter is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.\nCompensation and Benefits: \nThe base salary range for this role is $85,000-$180,000 annually. \nCompensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. Please note that the stated salary range is an estimate and may be adjusted based on market conditions, business needs, or other factors.In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5693,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Retirement plans","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nuclear Energy","Nuclear Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T02:11:09Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":47,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/general-matter-design-reliability-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/general-matter-design-reliability-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T17:03:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22830,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":171806},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=171806"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-design-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-design-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-design-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/general-matter-design-reliability-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-design-reliability-engineer"}]}
